"Bedshaped"

By: Enkidu

Rating: PG (The first PG thing I've ever written!!)

Pairing: Touya/Jin

Summary: Just short, simple crap-fluff I put together while waiting for my next class. Lyrics and titles shamelessly stolen from the song "Bedshaped" By: Keane. It inspired me. What can I say?

Lyrics

Dedicated to Pepita-chan as I have yet to finish her birthday fic. Even though her birthday was about three months ago.

(Touya's POV)

Many the lives we lived in each day

And buried altogether

I've known you for a long time now.

But it's still so hard to find the right words to tell you. My mouth opens and closes. I know what I want, but voicing it out...

I wring my hands nervously, and it's such a foreign sensation. You don't even notice. You go on laughing and talking. I feel comforted...somewhat.

I can listen to you for hours, but for once, I don't want to listen. I want to talk. I want to tell you...

Don't laugh at me

You're still talking. Haven't I said anything, yet? My eyes fix on your twitching ears. When you're happy they twitch. When you're excited they really twitch. My hands itch to touch them, but I won't.

Not yet.

Not till I tell you.

Don't look away

You know I'm listening to you. You know I always listen to you. You have that bizarre faith in me.

I think I have the same faith in you.

My fists clench by my sides. I am tense, and you don't even notice. Or maybe you do. Maybe you keep talking because I am tense, because somehow you know that the sound of your voice will calm me.

I can't let you go on like this.

I'm about to do something stupid.

"Jin."

You stop talking. Good.

The words never come out. They're chained tightly to my heart, causing the most unbearable ache. I shake my head. I wave you off. I murmur, "Nothing".

I walk away.

You follow me back

With the sun in your eyes

Bedshaped and legs of stone

...and, of course, you follow.

I want to run from you. It's silly and childish, but I do. Just to see if you'll chase me. And if you chase me, how far can I lead you?

Do you really want to be with me that much?

You're so stubborn. I walk quicker.

You poke me, and I flinch then give you an annoyed glare.

"What's wrong?" You ask innocently.

"Nothing," I lie. You know it's a lie because you're still poking me. I'm deeply annoyed. You know this, too, but that doesn't stop you.

"Jin," I repeat, partially because I enjoy saying your name, partially because I really want you to stop.

You spin me around easily, so you can stare me in the face. Your ears don't twitch, and I feel guilty. I want them to twitch again like they were before. They're almost...

...cute.

You lean forward to inspect me closely, and I naturally tense up again. It makes me really uncomfortable when you do that.

"Are you okay?" You ask.

Your hand is on my forehead, and you have the most comical expression on your face. "Yep! Clammy as usual!"

You're still uncomfortably close. My personal space is invaded. Move away now before I really do something stupid.

"Jin."

I try again.

"I-"

What am I trying to say? I search your eyes. Your ears twitch a little.

Sorry, Jin.

I'm about to do something stupid.

Your fault.

You'll knock on my door and up we'll go

In white light...

I don't think so...

I kiss you. Hard.

It hurts a little. Your body is entirely still. Not once do I think of pulling away.

Stupid me. I fell for you, you big dumb idiot.

I couldn't help myself.

All of the sudden...

Your mouth does the most amazing thing...

...You smile.

But what do I know?

What do I know?

I melt.

Figuratively, of course.

...And I know your ears are twitching like crazy.

I smile, too.

-The End-

Short and sweet. Or at least that I was trying for. Anywho, reviews, response, etc. ?? Please. I wrote this in half an hour between classes while replaying the song "Bedshaped" over and over. Poor tired, braindead me. Sorry, it's unedited ..wanted to post it quickly.
