Where Rainbows End

One Storm, Two Suns

 

Towards a Goal, that's Nonexistent. It's nonexistent.

Can we just keep Believing?

Gokudera saw Yamamoto and Bianchi one rainy afternoon outside his bedroom door, with lips locked and hands pulling each other into a suffocating embrace. Their eyes were closed and seemed both serene and passionate and their mouths didn't even moan from the taste, the smell, the feeling…

And Gokudera threw a punch straight at Yamamoto's face, knocking him to the ground and drawing enough blood. He would've dared using his flames as well, but then he'd be breaking a rule in their clan.

"Well what guts. Woah, you surprise me. Instead of following the Tenth's orders to stand guard you'd hit on my sister. Bravo, you bastard."

He surprised even himself because his tongue can still spew out sarcasm as his eyes filled with pure malice darted to his mouth. To touch, to even dare smother his lips with his sister's own that son of a bitch-!

He readied his eager fist for another round when Bianchi grabbed his younger brother's fist.

"You foolish boy. It's not his fault. Hit your own sister instead," she murmured unwaveringly, letting her long, chipped nails claw onto her younger brother's.

"Get the fuck off. You know I'd never hit a girl," he threw her hand aside, every sense of respect for her older sister gone as he raised his fist again.

He'd hit him a thousand times, even a million for keeping it a secret from him.

He's supposed to be Yamamoto's best mate. They swore- along with the Tenth, that they won't share lies.

He wishes that even as he draws more blood that he won't ever forgive him for this.

His sister's lipstick still embedded slightly on his lips made him not waver.

And Sawada Tsunayoshi walked up the steps…

"Then what happened?" Kyoko stared, her eyes wide and hidden by her saggy brows.

"I got demoted. T'was the worst fucking day of my life," Gokudera laughed bitterly, his feet dangling by the edge of the turrets.

As a prize for winning his 20th fight, he was given permission to go on one of the top towers in the castle along with his room mate.

It still wasn't a pretty sight. The skies were overcast with grey, ready to drizzle another rain shower. The ground seemed like a barren black hole from below.

The only thing relieving him were her severely short amber hair flecked with silver and her pale wrinkled mouth embedded with a smile.

"I guess I was envious of that baseball idiot," he laughs as both his and Kyoko's hand touched each other. "My sister was the only living girl left there. Oregano and the Tenth's mother died a month before. I wanted to… I guess feel full, not empty like this shithole planet we're currently in."

"Don't all of us wish to feel complete?" Kyoko smiles and merely places her hand on top of his own. "You just wanted to love and be loved like them. You could've just told me that plainly."

Gokudera turned beet red as her gaze continued to bore to his.

"I-I don't want-"

"There's nothing wrong with that," Kyoko grinned. "When I was a kid, I just wanted to get married and have kids. Such a naïve whim, I must say haha…"
