Short Fiction I Suppose? - Tumblr Posts

The snapshot

Haku knows better than anyone else how hard the curse dropped on Rui affects him. Hell, he probably knows better than Rui himself. He plays it cool, never giving so much of a hint but it’s only a façade. If he can convince everybody else that he’s fine maybe he’ll start to believe it himself. Despite everything, even the perpetual surveillance, his special treat offered by the Institute, what an honour..

Where does this pic came from? Damn looks like a lifetime ago.. two besties hugging each other smiling at the camera raising their drinks in the sunset. On his hand also a cigarette, the only thing he doesn’t miss from that time. Where was it.. Shirahama, one of surf-addicted Rui’s favourite places. Pure bliss on their smiles.. a stinging sensation on the corner of his eyes, a grip on the stomach. He clings to the window frame, looks down at the Campus and hastily closes the photo gallery. Damn, if it affects him this way what can possibly mean to Rui?

Speaking of the devil there he goes always at fast pace and avoiding everyone in his path. More packages? He needs to be firmer by limiting the online shopping otherwise that lazy slob* he’s pampering will never stop until the dorm is full. Every eye is on him of course, he’s stunning, even doing something mundane like errands. If only they knew. Rui raises his left arm, wiping as best as he can the sweat that starts to form on his temple. Haku can barely stand the heat wearing only his shirt, he can’t even imagine adding a turtleneck and a jacket to that. And gloves. As Rui raises his gaze their eyes meet. A wink, the hint of a bow a gorgeous smile and he’s gone. Perhaps tonight he’ll go to the bar, it’s been a while and he really needs to see his friend.

“Non human my arse” he mutters. There must be a way and he will find it, he refuses to believe otherwise.

*Ed, obviously

Tiny insight on Haku/Rui friendship, probably makes little sense but it came out like this. I don’t ship them, not because Rui is the only declared heterosexual in the game (who cares, it’s fiction anyway) but because not every relationship must be a romantic/sexual one imo. Having a true friendship can’t compare with anything else, is powerful and irreplaceable.

Literally the first time I try to write something. Might delete it later because I’m not confident at all. I’m also a big coward
