Reki Kyan was a very talented theif, he knew ever since his mother and sisters had been captured by the royal guards, he needed to learn to survive on his own. So that's just what he did. He didn't quite know where he was going in life, or why, for that matter, all he seemed to know is that he couldn't trust anyone. Look out for numero uno, that's the only reason he was still alive, or so he told himself. In reality, Reki was lonely. Very lonely. Reki didn't let himself get close to anyone, that is, until a certain knight comes along. Langa Hasegawa had his royal duty to capture Reki, and he set out to do so, but soon, the two become close. ~Warning: angst, violence, cursing~
There was nothing he could say to her. Because his friend was right, just like she usually was. They were young but the chances of them ever growing old were lower than just low. Maybe this would be the last time they'd see the sakura petals fall. Perhaps it was the last time he would see her alive.
They were just 19 years old. Someone could say they were young, too young to die.
"I guess we're not that young anymore, are we?"
Inside, it felt like they were old. Nearly too old to be alive.
