A Purple Heart
Episode Six - Total Eclipse of the Heart

Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart

-Nikki French

It figures it would rain.

It matches his mood. He thought it hurt when Yami said he didn't love him...but this? This is the cruelest of jokes fate could possibly play on him.

Grandpa must be worried.
But he can't go back, not yet.

The rain is suddenly blocked.

"Mahotsukai-san..."
"You'll catch cold like this."
"Hai..."
"Come in."

Blink.

What were the chances he would be outside of the man's apartment?

He's shouldn't be here.

It's too warm...too safe.

He should be somewhere alone, cold, and miserable.
Not in strong arms, wearing only a too large shirt that smells of lavender.

"Feel better?"
"A little. A gentle hand rubs his back.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No...it hurts too much..."
"Alright." Ankoku kisses Yugi's brow, still petting him.

Stop.
Please stop.

It hurts so much.

Fresh tears glide down flushed cheeks only to be captured by tender lips.
Butterfly kisses.

On his cheeks.
Over his brow.
Along his jaw.

For an instant the world tilted off its axis as those lips met his.
Briefly, then again. More confident.

Ankoku tastes of shadows, of summer shade.
He could drown in this warm darkness.

Yugi is jerk back to reality when he's lowered onto the couch, that tall body completely covering his smaller figure.

Whimper.
"Stop."

It's too much.
Too much.
Too much.

He can't handle this.

Not now.
Not ever.

Ankoku caresses Yugi's cheek. "Yugi?"

"Please, don't...I don't want to love anymore." He buries his soft face in his hands, sobbing. "I don't."
"Yugi..."

Silently he holds him, letting the boy cry.

I can't...

Not again.
