Unforgivable
~Yue? Where are we?~
There was no answer from the angel as he flew over the deserted scenery. There wasn’t a building or a living soul to be seen on the mountainside below. That suited him perfectly.
~Yue?~
He still didn’t answer. Yukito should have been used to it by now; in fact, he seemed to be, because he didn’t speak again. There was silence in their minds; Yue didn’t even think.
He spotted a small cliff at the top of a waterfall as he flew over and silently landed, as though that had been his destination all along. He had had no destination, in fact, but it was as good a place as any to set down. He could feel Yuki’s appreciation of the beauty of the place, though he was still curious. He didn’t yet offer an explanation, instead choosing to stand atop a rock that jutted upward from the water and stare over the edge of the fall, listening to nothing but the dull roar of the water in the early evening sunlight. Even their heartbeat was inaudible.
Yuki remained silent for a long time, and Yue was fine with that. His mental voice, when he finally spoke, was subdued. ~Yue?~
He finally chose to answer his other half. ~Yes…~
~It’s beautiful,~ Yukito said quietly, watching through the eyes of the body he was currently not in control of, ~but why are we here?~
He was silent for a while himself, staring still over the edge of the water. ~There’s something you need to know~ he finally said.
~What is it?~
~It’s about Toya…~
A warm feeling of love and safety washed through Yuki at just the mere mention of his name, and Yue closed his eyes briefly. The wind picked up and blew his long hair out in front of him, ruffling his feathers. He was going to have to destroy that feeling…
~What about him?~ The question was posed so lightly, so innocently… completely oblivious to the situation…
~I’ll show you.~
His eyes remained closed, but he focused on the painful memories that he wished only to bury forever. If only he could forget it, everything would be okay again…
—–
Yue had been in control almost since Yukito had awakened this morning; he wanted to see Toya. There wasn’t any particular reason; he just… wanted to see him. It was somewhat out of character, but he didn’t fight it. Maybe he was loosening up…
Yuki didn’t mind; he was always up for seeing Toya. They would surprise him; it would be great to see his smile when he saw them…
Yue approached the house, wingless so as not to draw undue attention, hearing a girlish giggle as Sakura ran down the street in the other direction with her friend. That would mean that Toya was almost certainly alone in there; good. Better than good. Perfect.
He felt almost… happy. The day just seemed perfect.
He didn’t knock, and instead only silently entered the house, the better to surprise him. Even Yuki was smiling happily in anticipation in the back of his mind…
“You’re sister’s gone, Toya…”
His mind completely shut down at the distinctly feminine purr from the kitchen, unintentionally shutting Yuki out. Another two steps and he could see in, the barest sliver of the room; it was enough. Toya was pressed against the counter, his hands sitting lightly on the shorter girl’s hips, as her arms were wrapped loosely around his neck.
“Mm-hm.” He nodded in agreement, leaning down to kiss her as she stood up on her toes to meet it.
She smiled slyly as they pulled apart. “What about that weird boy?” she asked. “I thought you two were a couple…”
“I’ll have to break it to him that we’re not,” Toya answered, and leaned down to kiss her yet again. “He’ll be okay with it.”
Yue heard no more. He turned and fled.
—–
Yukito said nothing, but he didn’t have to. He could feel his broken heart as keenly as he could feel his own.
~He…~
Yue stood there on that rock, letting the wind sway him. ~He doesn’t want us.~
That was the final straw that shattered Yuki’s heart irreparably. He felt unspeakably cruel to do it, already feeling the same pain himself, but it had to be done. Yuki had to face it…
He opened his eyes finally and let his gaze fall over the edge of the waterfall again, drifting straight down through his long hair, hundreds of feet to the churning pool below.
“Do you want me to do it?” he asked aloud.
It seemed that Yuki nodded. ~Yes… I can’t do it myself, so please… you do it…~
And then Yuki was almost completely gone, retreating away from him. Sadness was an unnatural state for him… he deserved to be and stay happy, as he had always been… not this. It was never supposed to be like this…
Yue let his wings disappear and let the wind move him more. It was never supposed to be like this…
As he finally fell deceptively gracefully over the edge, his eyes turned up to the clear blue sky and the brightly shining sun, he reached tentatively out to Yuki’s mind, feeling him reciprocate, so at least they weren’t alone. Their sadness mingled and joined, so that the feelings of one were indistinguishable from the other.
~Why, Toya…?~
~end~
