Sadness and Secrets - A Victubia Fanfiction

Chapter 5

--- Krism's POV---

I lay my head upon Minx's chest, listening to her slow, rhythmic breaths. I press my body against hers as she wraps her arm around my waist, holding me close. I close my eyes and she starts to run her fingers through my messy hair, trying to avoid any knots. I open my eyes again, something bright filling the room. I look out the window to be blinded... The sun... Is it-

(A/N: I'm not good with teh loves. I've never had teh loves. I don't know man. Don't judgeeee ;-;)

"Hey bebeh?" I was pulled out of my thoughts once more. Huh, that seems to keep happening.

"Mmhmm?" I was tired... And I had a slight hangover. Wasn't the worst, but it wasn't that great either.

"Does this mean that... We're....?" 

"If we aren't then I demand a refund," She laughed a bit and I only managed a giggle. I put my arm around her stomach and close my eyes again. "Bebeh I love you," I mumble, trying to sound adorable even in this state.

"I love you too bebeh," She tightens her grip around me and kisses my forehead.

It was nice. Was.

And then, my eye started to burn. I tightened my grip a bit more, though trying not to hurt her.

--Flashback--

"Spirits?" I looked at the masked man, hoping for some sort of answer.

"Well, the red spirits. 'The Spirit of Materia'," Ryan held up his hand and created a red sword, glowing at his touch. "The red spirits are used when you are upset or you feel content... Too safe, even. They can combine to create weapons that can be used in battle, such as this sword," He holds it up and swings, demonstrating its power. He soon stops and it disappears into a red dust. "They also give you great strength and power. They are very dangerous if you do not know how to control them. It'll last for as long as you're angry... Well, until you can learn how to control it. We'll work on that."

"Ryan... How can I learn to control these 'Spirits'?"

"It'll take time, practice, and concentration to learn. It is the hardest spirit to control."

"But what if I don't learn how to control it?"

"Then it'll most likely end up controlling you."

--End of Flashback--

I must have started shaking, because I felt Minx's hand travel up and down my back. I bury my head into her neck and my eye starts to glow, sending a sharp pain down my spine.

"P-Please... N-Not now..." I mutter, clenching my fists.

"Krism? What's wrong?" She sat up, holding me in her arms, trying to calm me.

"N-Not her t-too..." In my left fist, a small red dagger appeared.

"K-Krism!" She tightens her grip on me as my body began to glow a faint crimson,  the dagger joining in after a while. I - my head still buried in her shoulder - begin to cry, slowly calming myself.
