the man who loves the rain (Fukuro)

eden smirks "i've been here before.." he picks him up "tell me if you see your brother."

Abel was a little annoyed at being picked up like that again. Abel could see a little farther ahead though now. "I still don't see him. I think we may need to walk more towards the south of this town as we check though the west."

eden nods "ok." he begins walking toward the south. eden drops abel and turns around to block an attack. "damn it!" he looks back at abel "get behind me!"

Abel felt a little insulted that Eden didn't think that Abel couldn't fight. Abel drew his sword off of his back and grabbed one of the vials, he wouldn't put it in the sword yet, but he was ready.

eden strikes the first person with lighting. he cuts the second person away from abel. he gets stab in the back. eden yells in pain and falls down.

Abel cuts the person who stabbed Eden in the back right in two, separated just above the stomach. Abel was beyond mad now.

eden coughs up some blood and attacks another person who tried to cut abel. when eden looks around he sees their surrounded. two people stab him in his sides. he screams and strikes everyone died that was attacking them. he falls to the ground "we're safe now.." he coughs lightly.

"We may be safe, but your not in good condition. We got to get that stab wound healed up. Abel was never the fan of fighting, if he could he would try to talk his way out of himself or others fighting. But in cases where that couldn't happen, he was practically ruthless in swinging his sword.

eden coughs up blood "am ok... really lets find your brother.." he tries to get up.

"Not while your in such bad shape. Abel extend a hand down to help Eden up, but when he got up Abel was going to take him somewhere to get that stab taken care of.

eden takes his hand. "your a good guy.." he smiles lightly. he coughs up some more blood. "am sorry am weak.." he looks at the ground sad.

"Your not weak. You just got stabbed. Come on, if this town is laid out anything like I think it is then there should be a decent doctor on the north side of town." Abel says picking up Eden off of the ground and putting one of Eden's arms around him to half dray half carry him.

eden stands up slightly and looks at abel. he pushes abel up against the wall. he kisses him lightly and stands up better "i'm fine really.. my wounds are healing now."

"Just don't push yourself alright? Abel said caringly with a light blush on his face from the kiss.

eden smirks and pins abel against the wall again. "why are you blushing abel?" he tilts abels face up by his chin.

Abel was starting to wonder about Eden. Abele was beginning to think that all of this might have just been pity and that pinning Abel to the hall as hard as Eden was, was Eden's way of beating him without actually seeming to do much. Abel forces Eden's hand off of his chin, not feeling like he wanted his touch anymore. "Lets just find my brother, alright?" Abel says seeming to ignore Eden's question entirely.

eden looks at him surprised "ok then.. what ever you want to do abel." he felt alittle hurt. he grabs abels hand "i didn't hurt you did i?" he looked at him worried.

Abel just stood there. Abel didn't loathe Eden's touch, but at the moment it was one of the things he didn't want. Abel wanted to know the truth before anything else happened. "Just tell me some thing... Is everything that you've been doing to me so far just pity? Do you even feel the same way I do..? I don't care if you don't know, I want an actual answer." Abel looked at Eden when he asked. Abel was crying. He was clearly hurt about this.

eden looks at abel "no it hasn't been out of pity.. i like you! i just have to sort of my feelings more.. but i have feelings for you!" eden hugs abel tightly.

Abel gritted his teeth. It wasn't an answer he entirely wanted. But he at least knew it wasn't out of pity. He takes his hand out of Eden's. The second part, about him having feelings for him. He believed it, but until he was sure... Abel wasn't sure if he really could be with him. With tears still flowing he said nothing just looked at the ground.

eden looks at him and sighs he turns around. "i always screw things up.. am sorry if i hurt you abel... i never wanted to hurt you i just wanted to protect you with my life..." he starts to walk toward the wall and he punches it "i..i..i love you..." he blushes deeply and runs from abel.

Abel looks a little shocked, yet happy on the inside, to hear that Eden loved him. By the time Abel looked up to run after him, he had already gone out of sight. Abel fell to his knees and just let the tears keep going. "Damnit! Why did I have to screw it up by questioning it! I forced him to admit when he wasn't even sure! Why am I just so hasty!" Abel says yelling to the sky, yelling to no one and nothing. Abel lets the tears keep going.

eden stops when he hears abel yell. he turns back and appears behind him. he wraps his arms around abel. "stop crying pretty boy." he smiles and chuckles lightly.

Abel didn't care that he was being called pretty boy right now. All that he really cared about was Eden. Abel cries into Eden's shoulder, unable to stop the tears at forcing Eden to admit his feelings.

eden holds him tight. "you dont have to cry.." he lifts abels face up so he could see it. he kisses abel passionately.
