Copper between Silver and Gold

Chapter 2: Divulgence of Ferocious Love

A/N: This story was supposed to be a one shot but decided to cut 'em into two parts. Since I'm just new here and this is my first fanfic I guess I'll just leave it here. *Runs away*

"Nnnggg..." Arc groaned when he opened his eyes. He can't quite remember that much but all he knew was that he fought a several berserker, stinging bees and a dozen of basilisks, then when he returned to the Healing Copse he stumbled a rock, passed out of exhaustion, then now he's awake. He didn't remember setting up a tent and most definitely remembered that he hasn't dragged himself to crash himself there.

He looks around. It's pretty dark, he can't see anything. He tried to get up but then realized that someone was lying beside him, and his head was lying over someone's, what he guesses is an arm. He tensed, he was about to scramble off the stranger in panic when a voice came and halted his action. Well, it's more like he froze again, helpless with those arms curling around him.

"Don't go it's just me." Luneth murmured in his ear. Arc was confused. His head was immediately filled with questions like 'Why am I here with him'. He tried to ignore and keep down the loud beating of his heart on his chest. He was never this close with Luneth.

"What's happened?" Arc asked trying to get up again but stopped when Luneth's hands wrapped tighter around him.

"Asshole found you before you collapse."

Arc's forehead creased, "Asshole?"

"That prick sucking blond bitch," Luneth snuggled his face to Arc's shoulder. Arc raises an eyebrow.

"You're acting weird."

"Yea, I know. It's a side effect of my jealousy." Luneth answered, breathing Arc's scent heavily.

After that, they were both silent. Arc does not know what to say, and what Luneth means, and he certainly doesn't want to get his hopes up. He repeatedly told himself that Luneth was just worried and that's that.

The silence was stained with the slightest string of tension, Arc ignored it. He wants to cherish this moment where Luneth holds him in his arm and his face burying on the boy's neck, and nothing else.

"Arc," Luneth spoke softly, startling Arc just a bit.

"Yes?

"I've been thinking.." Luneth started,

"Wow, I never thought you could." Arc said for a smile, he looks at Luneth the Silver-haired boy was pouting at him. Blush crept over Arc's face and quickly looks away. "Okay I'm just kidding, go on."

Luneth couldn't help but suppress a small smile. "So like I said, I've been thinking."

Arc hummed. Luneth reached for the other's hand and squeezed it gently. "After all these years I spent with you by my side and all... We've been through pain, happiness, sadness, braveness, glory, and I even came to the conclusion that I'm an idiot, and stupid."

Arc laughed lightly, turning his face again towards the older boy. "Wow, what took you so long to realize that?"

"Shut up," Luneth rolled his eyes, instead of saying a witty comeback and decided to let it pass. "So like what I said we've been through those kinds of things... and I think... I... you... I mean I-I... we? ... Iloveyouwillyoubemyboyfriend?." Luneth said those last nine words in one breath.

Arc was a blinked once, twice. Luneth blinked and Arc blinked again. "Uh, what? I didn't hear the last words you say, your voice was so low and you speak too fast."

"You've got to be kidding me." Luneth cried exasperatedly.

Arc shrugged at Luneth. "I'm not."

"Okay, let me ask you again." Luneth said before he placed two fingers on Arc's chin and lean it forward towards his lips. Luneth's kiss was tentative and half-insecure. Arc, once again, like the earlier with Ingus, was frozen up on his place but his heart pounds like a drums and heat flowed throughout his body.
