Unusual Couple (Bbenjii)

[Cyndon]

The garden was dark and mysterious as a shadow poked above the small hill nearby. A man with medium length white hair and a medium dark complexion appeared, wearing a blue robe. His eyes seemed to shine with different lights; his left one white, the other black, and a crescent shaped scar was barely visible to the right of his mouth. He seemed to want to keep out of view, while still looking for the person that he knew he was to meet out here.

There had been no letter, no outward sign of affection. There had just been that class, and the sudden feelings that seemed to hit him from nowhere. Cyndon shuffled a little uncomfortably as he walked past some other students waiting around for a person to meet up with.

Soon doubt became evident with him. Would Ar'Kun truly appear, or was it all just a ploy? How many people around this academy were outwardly like that? Even Cyndon hadn't openly admitted to his bisexuality... So how sure was he that Ar'Kun would like him in that way? He was becoming nervous, and some of the others were staring at him. At least, that's what he thought, though all of them were just staring blankly around waiting for their beloved to talk to them.

"Ar'Kun," Cyndon started out loud, though pointed at no one in particular "Do you really want to give this a chance?" All that answered him was the slosh of water and the sudden wind between plants as he stood near the waters... at first...

"My well isn't this a beautiful place." Ar'Kun said with a smile seeing flowers around. Something special caught his eye though. In a small puddle, he caught his reflection. Bending down to look into it, it reminded him of someone.

His former lover, the one who guided him through thick and thin. A wolf just like him. A wolf who stood up for him, and a wolf who loved him. They were born to be! Everyone saw them as the happiest couple in the world. Untill that day the 'other' force came. They did not allow same sex relationships, therefore he sacrificed his life for Ar'Kun to run away. In front of his eyes, his heart fell to the ground silently looking straight back at Ar'Kun. Expression was a smile, with the mouthed words of 'I love you.'

Fist smashed into the puddle, scratching at it as water splashed on his face. "Raphael." He whispered to himself in pain as tears watered down his face. Starting to run to an exit he heard his name being called from somewhere nearby. Looking around, he wiped his tears to clear his vision and follow the echo.

Passing by couples that were holding each other, and kissing this place seemed to be a very peaceful one. To his amazement, he noticed Cyndon standing there in the wind.

"Cynd, what are you doing here?" He questioned in curiosity tilting his head.

Cyndon jumped as he heard Ar'Kun begin talking to him. He noticed that Ar'Kun seemed to be a little upset about something, but had instead asked what he was doing here. He looked at Ar'Kun with a slight smile on his face and responded.

"Hoping you would arrive here, actually. There are things i want to talk to you about... of course, that's the reason i talked to you in weaponry class about meeting up with you somewhere." Cyndon thought for a moment before he started his speech.

"I wanted to tell you that... that..." He was so nervous, it was beginning to obviously show on his face as he blushed and his eyes began to water. What if he said no? What if he scared him away? What if everyone else found out and hated him?! He batted it all away in his mind, he would get nowhere fast if he constantly worried, so he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and closed his eyes as he belted out:

"I love you!" he gasped after he said it. He immediately relaxed as he stared at the ground expecting rejection or even yelling. While he had seen the arm band on Ar'Kun's arm, he had always believed in giving people a benefit of the doubt. Just because a person wears something that is said to mean such and such a thing, didn't mean they necessarily were, right?
