Again. I'm sensing a pattern here...) And it takes place in my alternate universe yet again. Yes, I'm weird. [Disclaimers: Fushigi Yuugi is the property of Watase Yuu. None of the characters belong to me. The song "Smile" is property of Lonestar. This story is yaoi, and kinda sad, so if that kind of thing bothers you, you may want to close this window. Otherwise, enjoy! ^_^] I still remember the night we met You said you loved my smile [Tasuki and Nuriko stand outside the inn, looking up at the stars. It's a cold night, but they don't seem to mind. Tasuki holds Nuriko snugly against him, Nuriko's head on his shoulder. 'This feels so right...I could hold you in my arms forever, Nuriko,' he thinks.] But your love for me was like a summer breeze Oh it lasted for awhile [Tasuki stares at his violet-haired lover, obviously in shock. Nuriko sighs, he feels pretty bad to end this, but he just can't help it. "I care about you, Tasuki...it's just...I can't love you the way you love me. I'm sorry," he says quietly. "I know...ya never did stop loving Hotohori, did you?" Tasuki looks slightly angry, but he knows it isn't Nuriko's fault. These things happen.] I could hold on a little tighter I know But when you love someone, you gotta let em go, so.. ["Ya know I really don't want this ta end, Nuriko," Tasuki chokes. "I won't stand in your way, though...after all you've been through ya deserve to be happy with the one ya really love." Nuriko nods. "Thank you. You're...taking this better than I thought," he says. "Believe me, it aint easy," the bandit mumbles. "But it's better this way...and...hey, as long as we're still friends, right?" "Of course. You'll always be my best friend," Nuriko says.] I'm gonna smile, cause I wanna make you happy [Tasuki smiles and hugs Nuriko. "Thank you," he whispers. "I love ya, Nuriko. And I'll always be here for ya." Laugh, so you can't see me cry ["I know," Nuriko says. Tasuki holds Nuriko for a moment longer, willing himself not to cry.] I'm gonna let you go in style And even if it kills me, I'm gonna smile Kiss me once for the good times baby Kiss me twice for goodbye ["Well...I better get going. Hotohori-sama is waiting for me," Nuriko says. "Yeah..." Tasuki sighs. "Just...promise ya won't hit me for this..." He leans over and kisses Nuriko very lightly on the cheek. "I won't," Nuriko says, smiling.] You can't help how you don't feel And it doesn't matter why [After a few minutes, Tasuki finally lets go of Nuriko. "You better get going, Hotohori-san's probably looking for you now." Nuriko nods, smiling at him. "Yeah. I told him I would only be a few minutes or so...see you later," he says, walking to the door.] Give me a chance to bow out gracefully Cause that's how I want you to remember me ["Goodbye, Nuriko. Well, not goodbye, but...ya know what I mean," he says quietly. "Yeah...I'll see you around, I guess," Nuriko says as he leaves.] I'm gonna smile, cause I wanna make you happy Laugh, so you can't see me cry [Tasuki stands at the door for a moment, watching as Hotohori walks over to Nuriko. "So, how did he take it?" the emperor asks. "A little sad, but better than I thought," Nuriko says as the 2 embrace. As Hotohori leans in to kiss the violet-haired seishi, Tasuki closes the door and sinks against the wall, crying quietly.] I'm gonna let you go in style And even if it kills me, I'm gonna smile ["It fuckin hurts...but I can't let anyone know. Nuriko deserves this. And who knows? Maybe I'll find someone else."] I'm gonna smile, so you can find the courage [That night, everyone is relaxing in the lounge. Miaka and Tamahome are snuggled together on a couch, Yui is looking out at the starry sky with Chiriko leaning against her side, and Nuriko is nestled in Hotohori's arms. Tasuki remains apart from the others, sneaking glances at Hotohori and Nuriko.] Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin ["It's about time you guys got together. I was worried Hotohori would've gone insane!" Tamahome says, snickering. Hotohori and Nuriko glare at him, but ruin it by laughing. Tasuki laughs with the others, glad as hell Tamahome was kind enough not to mention the breakup. "It's pretty late. I'm going to bed," he yawns. The others look at him strangely, it's only 11:30. "Night then," Hotohori says. Tasuki nods, then quickly heads to his room. Once inside, he collapses onto the bed, tears running down his cheeks. "I'm worried about him no da," Chichiri comments. "I can see it in his eyes. He's really hurting over this," Mitsukake says. "I'll talk to him tomorrow no da. Just let him know I'm here if he ever needs someone to confide in. Right now...I think I'll go to bed as well no da," Chichiri says before heading off. "Night, minna-san no da," he yawns. He stops outside Tasuki's bedroom for a moment, hearing muffled sobs. "He's really trying to be strong no da..." he sighs.] I'm gonna let you go in style And even if it kills me, I'm gonna smile ["I'm happy for ya, Nuriko. Just as long as ya don't forget about me, I'll be fine," Tasuki whispers, staring out at the night sky one moment longer before slipping into bed and falling into a troubled, fitful sleep. Chichiri slips into the room for a moment, over to Tasuki's bed. "No one should have to be alone when they're hurting no da," he whispers. He settles down at the foot of tbe bed and rests his hand on Tasuki's shoulder. "I'll stay with you tonight, Tasuki...I hope you don't mind," he whispers. Tasuki's eyes flutter open momentarily. He's startled to see he wasn't alone, but smiles a little. "I don't mind...thank you, Chichiri-san," he yawns before his eyes close again. "Daijoubu no da," the blue-haired man whispers.] ~End~ The mind can be a very strange thing. I keep telling myself to finish my unfinished stories before I begin any new projects, but sometimes the inspiration just grabs me outta nowhere or something and I HAVE to write it before it kills me. ^^;;; ...That probably didn't make much sense. Gomen, it's not even dark yet and I'm...not all there. ^^;;; Damn, my sleep habits suck. X_x;; I'll stop rambling now. ^^;; Till next time! ^_^ Submit ReviewReport Possible AbuseAdd Story to FavoritesAdd Author to FavoritesAdd Author to Author AlertAdd Story to C2 Archive
