The Frozen Heart || それを目を覚ます

yeah so this happened

[D.Gray-Man OST 3 - Lavi’s Despair]

Did he say something wrong?

Probably not, considering the other was getting back with his attention and mind to where they were at the very moment. The ravenet’s own gaze remained rather calm, observing the change of emotions in his counterpart’s expression, musing about how evident they became in times like this before being taken back himself. A faint touch against his chest, drawing patterns on skin that way already tainted in a pattern he knew just too well. 

And there was no way he would just accept that faith, ending like a fool— ending his life as a danger for the people he might held dear up until then. Oh no, Kanda was certain to find a way to either escape that destiny, searching for another route— or he shall end himself before it would come that far.

     A pinch of denial, maybe? There are times when he wonders why he was the one to carry on the Bookman lineage, he just was aware of it without even questioning largely. It's private. Really intimate. So when he started touching Yuu's tattoo, he knew that there's a line he had just crossed--and Kanda seemed to either have been taken aback, or perhaps there was an acceptance for the gesture.

     "Hai, hai. I know." His companion's body felt warmer despite the cooler water that they have been submerged in, though he decided to not push further. Instead his hand slid up to cup Yuu's face and just stare with a rare tamed smile of reassurance, both eyes focused in the other's azure orbs. "But ya don't have to take it all in," He simply said before adding his other palm to the other side of the swordsman's head and pushed himself forward for a soft kiss on Yuu's forehead. 

Resting his slim body against the commode, waiting rather patiently for the other to find the requested object. His eyes then wandered outside the window, trying to guess the hour upon regarding the position of the sun, but failing miserably, since there was no sun to be seen at all. Cloudy sky. It was probably much later than he used to get up, his stomach already demanding food which usually only occurred whenever his morning training was already finished.

A sigh left his lips and he ran a hand trough his still messy hair once more, attention back to the other when the discovery of a brush was announced.

One eyebrow raised for a split second, musing whether or not he shoudl move over and deciding it would probably be the easiest and fastest way to get this over and done with. A faint push and he stands upright, walking the few steps across the room while avoiding piles of books in his usual rather elegant matter before sitting down next to the redhead again. The mattress gives in underneath his weight, making him sink into the cushion a bit and causing both men to get closer just a bit, tip of a knee touching thigh ever so slightly.

     ”Gahhhh, Yuu, my hands are itchin’ to do it.” The redhead pouted openly before letting his shoulders drop even though he was aware that giving the general The Face wouldn’t wore, ever. After some grunting and groaning, Lavi finally gave up the idea and moved in closer to run the brush along the length of the raven locks. Like the usual it was soft and silky as if it was being bathed with milk and honey. Despite the overcast outside that was further dimming the room, Kanda's hair still shimmered pleasantly.

     And Yuu tells him there's nothing special about his morning routines... maybe the tattoo's hidden effect?

     "Ya know, I've always wondered how ya could fight with yer hair swishin' everywhere, saa." He ran his fingers through the strands gently to feel them sliding against his cold palm. He never noticed it but it was a relatively cool morning; in effect it almost feels like Yuu's hair is somewhat dampened.
