tricks or treats - SouNagiHaru

come trick-or-treat in my inbox requesting ficcies and I’ll either treat you to some fluff or humor or trick you with a horribly twisted sad AU  (I’ll use a random generator to pick trick or treat) send me “trick or treat” and a character(s) or ship in my inbox and I’ll write you a short little thing (I’ll be doing these all of October so send away!)

treat (i think?)

Nagisa looks up and watches as the setting sun works its magic on the sky.  Brushing the clouds with colors he can’t begin to describe and will never be able to replicate even in his dreams.  He sits and stares and watches the colors turn vibrant and then darken slowly until he blinks and sees stars shimmering in the blackness.

He hears the footsteps a moment before he feels the presence behind him but he doesn’t look away from the sky.

“I’ll only warn you once,” Sousuke says.  His voice is another layer of darkness settling over the land and slinking between the trees of the forest behind them.  “Go.  Now.”

Nagisa shakes his head.  “No.”

“Then it’s done.”  Sousuke steps forward and Nagisa leans back against Sousuke’s legs.  “It’s done,” he promises as the stars shiver and the world goes dark.

—

Nagisa drapes himself over the back of the couch, and Sousuke’s shoulder, with a whine.

“I’m tired.”

“Then go to sleep.”  Nagisa pouts.  “Stop that.”  Nagisa pouts even more.  “I regret so much,” Sousuke grumbles.  But he’s smiling as he twists and pulls Nagisa into his arms before standing and walking to the bedroom.  “So, so much.”

Nagisa laughs and wraps his arms around Sousuke’s neck.

“You say that all the time.  I’m starting to think you’re lying.”

Starlight paints their bedroom ceiling with specks of silver that ripple softly as they tumble onto the bed and curl up under their blankets.

“You know when I’m lying,” Sousuke says, hands warm against Nagisa’s cool skin.  “You always have.”

—

Nagisa jerks up, eyes darting along the shoreline.  Sousuke rolls onto his side and squints at Nagisa before turning his gaze to the shore.

“He’s here,” Nagisa whispers.

“You sure?”

Nagisa reaches for Sousuke’s hand and tangles their fingers together.

“As sure as I was when I found you.”  A dark haired man wanders past them, blue eyes barely registering them before skittering off toward something else.

But they registered.  It was small.  But it was there.

He saw them.

—

“I couldn’t do that to you,” Haru says.  “I couldn’t take… no.”

Nagisa smiles up at him and tilts his head.  Haru and Sousuke are so much more alike than they like to admit.  He still remembers Sousuke’s initial protests all those years ago.  His fear that he’d take too much of Nagisa.  His worry that Nagisa would feel trapped.

Haru doesn’t get it, not yet.  He will in time.  Just like Sousuke.

“Is it really taking when it’s willingly given?”

Haru shakes his head and walks away.  Nagisa isn’t worried.

—

The stars overhead are dim, valiantly trying to hang on as sunrise creeps ever closer.

“I won’t ask again,” Haru promises.  “Run while you can.”

“No.” Nagisa stares at the sky.

“Then tell me everything.”  Haru sinks to the ground and curls around Nagisa, grabbing his hand as Sousuke steps up behind them.

“You want to hear everything?”

“Yes.”  The sun rises and the world holds its breath.  “Everything.”
