soraciaI guess this is a little long to be a drabble, but it's not long enough to be much of anything else. Just little Yugioh ficlet, Bakura/Ryou. ^^ I've always liked that pairing...
Shadow Lover
[RxB | G | abstract, poetry, shounen-ai, light angst | drabble]
Arms surrounding, tight embracing, warmth and strength behind.
Arms...? Whose...
Questions filter through the foggy peace of sleep, like flickers of sunlight glint through forest leaves.
Someone...there...?
Surfacing to consciousness, suddenly cold, bereft. Aware.
No one here. Alone. No threat--no company.
Relief, tinged with disappointment; safe, in wistful loneliness.
Was it only...dreaming? What is real?
Half afraid, half hopeful someday darkness comes to light. Half in fear, half longing, all in doubt. Shadow soul, reflection; image mirrored in dark; master, thief, bondmate....lover?
Is it love or ownership, comfort or possession--this insubstantial holding in the night?
Evil spirit caring not for weakness or for truth...does light attract the darkness from within? Shade that vanishes with night, black heart seeking out of sight--true weakness ever hidden.
Truth hidden by the dark, or darkness from truth hiding? Is truth a weakness, or is weakness truly strong?
Cursed Ring binding heart to heart; this fate, though surely it leaves a mark--is it bondage or completion? Possibility awakens hope in spite of fear...
...please...someday...stay?
