The asassin and the knight- Shin Soukoku

"The king says you're bad, well I think he's just mad,
that you're more loved.
His people, all mad and furious, can't decide wether to be curious,
and find what made their king so heartless, and mindless."

"You say you want to die, because of your life, but do you think about
those who want you to survive?"
Silver hair shine in the moonlight, purple and gold eyes puncture the darkness.
In the darkness, raven hair blends in, eyes dull and grey, trying to stop himself from descending into madness.
Warm hands, wrap around him, rocking the pale body in his arms,
"I'm glad you're still alive, Ryu..."

Present:

Ryu's heart begins to crave something.
He feels like a piece of him is missing, like a missing part of a puzzle, but he can't find it. Nothing.
Looking up at the castle, rocks falling, "Looks like somebody's reign is about to end."

At night, he walked silently, through the cracks, into the fortress, trying to kill the king's mistress.
An arm wrapped around him, suffocating him.
"You seem to have forgotten? Nye, Ryu?"
Eyes wide, head cocked to the side, he saw, that same silver hair and puncturing gold and purple eyes, his mouth seemed to move on its own as he muttered, "I'm alive."

Atsushi was taken aback by the words, "Yeah, seems like it, thank the lords!" Ryu frowned, "Who are you, and how do I know you?" Atsushi laughed, "Ryu's so forgetful, and very not mindful." Arms wrap around Ryu again, a gasp leaving his mouth, for it didn't feel foreign. "Come to my cabin, I'll help you get in," Atsushi offered, Ryu was shocked, "Yeah, sure I guess."

Tea, bread and sugar, all were set out onto a table to devour. "Eat up, you have to leave by 5 in the morning, or else the others will get suspicous," Atsushi smiled, before moving away from Ryu, as if he was contagious. "Mm, alright, but why?" the assassin asked back, trying to see if it was a lie. Atsushi scratched the back of his neck, "I'm a knight and we have to get ready at 5, if we're late, they'll suspect something." Ryu grunted, "They'll suspect nothing." The white-haired male giggled, "Nye, you haven't changed Ryu, I'm so getting deja vu!" The other scoffed, shoving a piece of bread into his mouth, "Says the one who doesn't have a couch."

The wind howled outside as Atsushi packed Ryu's stuff in a sack, "I put some food in there for tomorrow, in case you need a snack," he informed, tossing the sack to Ryu. "Yeah thanks, I'll need that, by the way, thank you," the assassin bowed a little bit before a thought clicked in his head. "Hey, do we know each other?" he asked, Atsushi chuckled, "Do we know one another?" Ryu froze, "I- I mean, since you know my name and all...have we met?" The knight stood up, walking over to the other, grabbing his chin, "I won't tell you just yet." And with that he left. Ryu blinked and clenched the bag in his hands,

"I never asked you to answer in the first place, Sir Atsushi Nakajima."
