Warnings: Mud Whale gets attacked and Chakuro gets hurt. I'm sorry,, but this was too cute to be angst

Idiot (not edited)

The attack had been so sudden. It was gone soon enough, leaving death in its' wake. Chakuro remembered screaming, horrified realizations that these new people wanted to kill them. For no apparent reason, too.

It.. It would be something everyone would remember as a mass murder. A horrid event that would go down in history and would remember with a shiver that the murderous new people could come back any time they wanted. Blood, death, and tears would soon follow after, if they did decide to come back.

Chakuro didn't recall much, he was far in too much excruciating pain to be in his right mind. He did recall passing out after the enemies left. Waking up in someone's arms, hear a comforting voice, then passing out again.. Chakuro shifted slightly in a place that didn't look familiar.

The same comforting voice from before and begun to talk while Chakuro didn't bother to open his eyes just yet. He listened quietly to the voice, seeking comfort. "I love you. I thought before that I wasn't able to love, so I pushed you away and rejected you.. I realize that was a mistake now. I need you, please come back."

He..

He needs me.

Chakuro groaned, and slowly opened his eyes. He took a glance around and realized with a jolt that this wasn't his room. He stared at the person who was sitting near the bed he was lying on. They stared back, almost in shock.

Chakuro opened his mouth to speak, and his voice came out raspy. "Is everyone okay?"

Ouni offered him a cup of water which Chakuro took gratefully. "I don't care about them right now," his savior spoke, meaning no malicious intent. After taking a drink, Chakuro put down the cup. He prepared to reply, but Ouni cut him off. "I thought you were dead."

"I thought you didn't care.." Chakuro bit his lip. "Why care now, after all this time?"

"Because I was scared. Chakuro, y-you.. You scared me. I thought I lost you." Ouni took the small boy's hands in his own, enveloping them in warmth. "Please don't do that again, you idiot."

This was probably the longest time Ouni had spoken, and out of character no less. Chakuro smiled, and nodded. He leaned in for a hug, and winced. "Ouch, I probably shouldn't have done that."

Instead, Ouni hugged him and they stayed that for a while. "I love you," Chakuro mumbled, turning his head away slightly in embarrassment.

"I know." Ouni couldn't believe how lucky he was to be with such a cute, lovable boy who cared for him deeply. He thanked the gods, and hugged him tighter in fear that if he would let go, he would lose his love.
