Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction / Yami No Matsuei Fan Fiction ❯ Black Velvet ❯ If You Could See ( Chapter 10 )

It's for the taking my friend, the eternal end, it's for you
The past is overboard, don't worry your soul, it's in neverland

 

Blaze, Tatsumi, Watari and their guest came onto the grounds at close to sunset. Belle met them at the door, smiling.

 

“Good to see you all made it in,” she said. “There's some scary things around here after dark.”

 

“Belle, I am the scary thing in the dark,” Blaze said. Her husbands nodded vigorously behind her.

 

Belle laughed and said, “I'll go tell those boys you're here,” before going back into the house just as Schuldig was coming out onto the porch.

 

Upon seeing Tatsumi, Schuldig flopped onto his back and started twitching.

 

“Isakk, what the hell is wrong with you?” Blaze said, sensing that he wasn't in any real distress.

 

“Not. Enough. Blood. Going. To. Brain.”

 

“Oh, good gods!” Blaze said, before walking onto the porch, rolling him over and sitting on him.

 

Blaze's guest blinked in surprise. “What's wrong with him?”

 

“Nothing,” Blaze said with a sigh. “Whenever he sees one of my husbands all the blood in this head,” Blaze smacked Schuldig in the back of the head hard enough to knock his sunglasses off.

 

“Ow!”

 

She ignored him. “Manages to reroute itself to the other one.”

 

“You forgot to mention being dehydrated from drooling, Mistress. Can't I please, please, please borrow him,” Schuldig begged, banging his head into the porch.

 

“As I have said numerous times before, get your own suit.”

 

“He's even hotter out of the suit,” Schuldig said, looking up and leering at Tatsumi, who was wearing khakis and a pullover instead of the usual brown suit and tie.

 

Watari laughed, took Tatsumi by an elbow and started guiding him into the house. “We'll just have to move him out of sight until you regain your composure then.”

 

“Not fair!” Schuldig wailed. “This is a conspiracy!”

 

“To keep your hands off of my Suit? Why, yes, it is,” Blaze said, smacking him firmly on the behind.

 

Schuldig put his forehead to the floor of the porch and wiggled his butt as best he could with Blaze sitting on his lower back. “Thank you, Mistress. May I have another?”

 

“You wish,” Blaze said, getting up.

 

“Tease.”

 

“No, this is a tease. Too bad you didn't see Chiro in the lace up leather pants the other night,” Blaze said, winking at her husbands.

 

“Gah! Not fair! I can't walk right with three legs.”

 

“You'll just have to make a valiant effort, Isakk.”

 

“A valiant effort to do what?” Cassie asked, stepping out onto the porch. “Schu, what the hell are you doing on the floor?”

 

“Trying to get some friction,” he whined.

 

“The only thing you'll get from the porch is splinters,” Blaze said.

 

“Do I want to know?” Cassie asked Blaze.

 

“Probably not,” Blaze said, then turned to her guest. “Cassie, this is . . .”

 

“Aya-chan!” Aya said, coming around the side of the house.

 

“Ran-ni!” Aya-chan said, bounding off of the porch to her brother.

 

Cassie raised her hand. “Question, why do we have two Ayas?”

 

“Very long, really weird story,” Schuldig said, finally propping himself up on an elbow.

 

“Ooookaaay. Anyway, Grandmere said to tell you all supper is ready,” Cassie said.

 

“Gotcha,” Schuldig said. “Anyone seen Skye or Brad?”

 

Cassie frowned. “Not for the last few hours, come to think of it.”

 

Darkness unfolds as stories are told of new beginnings

And now your life it subsides,

falls from beneath you
The moments of the past, forget tomorrow it brings anew
my friend

 

Skye's usually smooth features furrowed into a frown as she supported Crawford over to an old tree stump. He sat down heavily, putting his head into his hands. She dropped to her knees in front of him.

 

“Bradley? You're starting to worry me. What's wrong?”

 

Crawford took several deep breaths and tried to regain his composure. “Can't let him see me like this.”

 

“Who? Schuldig? I don't think he'd hold this against you. My gods, Bradley, you're only human,” she said, pushing his hair back from his face.

 

“No. Damn it, I'm better than this. I . . .” he looked up at her and suddenly froze.

 

“Bradley? What is it?”

 

“Oh, gods.” He put one hand out and traced the lines of her face with his fingertips. “It was you,” he choked out before falling forward into Skye's arms.

 

“Bradley?” Skye said, shaking him a little. He seemed to be out cold. “Bradley!?”

 

Star suddenly appeared next to her sister. “Damn it. I was afraid of this.”

 

Skye adjusted Crawford's weight. “Well, we knew it was bound to happen eventually. Especially with him being back here. Even your rearrangements only last for so long.”

 

“Yeah, but it'll be damn inconvenient if I have to rewire him because he's pushing mental meltdown.”

 

“He isn't. He's just in shock. Hardly surprising, all things considered.”

 

“He won't be happy knowing the truth.”

 

Skye sighed heavily. “No one ever is.”

 

See the love that you bring
Takes you to where, you're going to
Run, don't hide yourself
It's only fading moments
If you could see
