Mezameru

Tsumi

Yay! Chapter 1, rewritten and reposted!

I'm really sorry about the inconvenience of having to delete the original Mezameru, but I couldn't access it.

I think it was corrupted or something. I couldn't open it w/o Wattpad completely crashing on me. My other story, Kokoro, too. So yup, Imma rewrite that one, too.

After I make some progress on this one, anyways. Maybe when I upload... let's say three chapters. :P

Until then: ENJOY THE ANGST-Y GOODNESS!

Two lone figures stood in the darkness of a rainy Domino night. One would mistake them for twins at first glance; they seem so similar. Each was lanky, yet having some muscle definition. Atop their skulls jutted exotic crowns of pointed ebony hair, rimmed in maroon. Each man had crooked yellow tresses framing their faces nicely. The taller of the two (though only by a couple of inches) had these gravity-defying banges arching up into the black and red. One with humor would see a striking resemblance between that of their hair and a brightly colored starfish. Smooth, flawless alabaster flesh glistened under rain and harsh streetlights.

The artificial light gave the gloomy, storming atmosphere a sickly dull orange-brown hue. The taller, with naturally narrowed eyes and arms crossed, gazed down to the smaller with concern apparent in his stiff, confidant posture. "Aibou," a deep baritone rumbled through his chest. "What is wrong? Are you hurt?"

The smaller teenager shook his head hesitantly. His face was downcast, covered in darkly defined shadows. His companion tilted his head slightly, looking lost. What had his 'Aibou' so distraught that he wanted to speak now? Out in the rain and the cold? "Than what is troubling you, Hikari mine?"

He saw a shiver travel down his aibou's slender form. Was that from the cold? Or... maybe fear? Fear of enemies unknown? Or, Ra forbid, fear of his taller friend?

Dark crimson softened to a tender scarlet, sweet and nurturing. "Yuugi," he murmured after a moment of tense silence. Said boy lifted his head slightly, expressive amethyst eyes wide. Was that rain or tears that lay their path across his smooth cheek? His little Light looked so lost and scared and vulnerable, like a lost kitten. The red-eyed man felt his heart melt at the sight. He had to try and comfort the boy...

But before his hand could cup the smaller's cheek so tenderly, Yuugi's small hand shot forward to catch his Darkness' wrist tightly. The one with red eyes stopped, looking both hurt and bewildered. "Aibou..?" he murmured, sound almost lost the that of the pounding rain.

"Mou hitori no boku..." Yuugi breathed, eyes again downcast. "I-I... I love you." The boy's 'mou hitori no boku' felt his breath catch. Before he could react, soft rosy lips encased his own in an almost desperate kiss. His heart fluttered. How long had the yami dreamt of a moment like this? He didn't even know.

Before his stalled mind could register this amazing rush of emotion, he felt the warmth pull away. Yami had half a mind to growl in protest, but stopped dead at his hikari's face. Yuugi was staring at him with wide, heartbroken amethyst eyes. Tears pooled much more noticeably upon his thick, dark lashes and he looked away. "I knew you didn't feel the same," he gave a shuddering sob. "I'm sorry, Yami!"
