[break][break] The words were accusatory -- heavy with malice as they hung out to dry in the frigid night air between the two of them. [break][break]Does he really think it was me? Raziel felt his visage warp, eyes contorted with confusion and face screwed up with anger and sadness. Some statements could not be taken back; this was one such statement. [break][break] His head began to shake rapidly like a plucked doorstop to convince him otherwise. "No, no! I swear!" tears blurred his vision -- fuck, was he crying? -- as the stern, stoic face of his lover and coworker began to blur as well. [break][break] A quick stroke of his forearm across his face cleared the tears. Raziel didn't care if he saw him cry. Not now, when everything was already crumbling around them. Reddened eyes searched frantically for an answer in those of the man before him. To imply that Raziel had been the one to report the misgivings of the trial was to impart a fatal blow to the foundation of their relationship. [break][break] Looking back, Raziel knew that moment was their last together. He wouldn't have fought as hard, cried as hard. As he returned home to Shalour from the lab in Anistar, his parting words to the man repeated in his head like a broken record. [break][break] "Why don't you trust me?" [break][break] A year passed in Shalour City before, one day, Professor Springs set newly-appointed Professor Arender out to Johto. It would be a land of new opportunities, new beginnings for his most precocious student. [break][break] Raziel Arender cried on that day, too. |
