Some I'm even sorry for. Some. Possibly half, but do not attempt to hold me to that.

If I forgave you...could you forgive me?

*Hiro thinks for a while. Is it possible? Can he forgive, knowing this man killed his father? Can he actually be that compassionate, that selfless? Duty tells him that he must avenge his father, but his faith tells him that such things will only lead to his self-destruction. To kill this man, imprison this man, he would lose his soul.*

I forgive you. Free of any obligation for you to do the same. You acted out of pain, as did I. If I ask your forgiveness or even hope to achieve it, I cannot be a hypocrite.

*He bows low, as one would bow to a superior.*

*Adam stares at him for a very long time, emotion warring inside of him as he fights anger and hope and want and vengeance and need, and 400 years of waiting*

I...*swallows, closes his eyes, fighting with himself, then opens them again, meeting Hiro's* I can forgive you. I will. *small frown, rubbing his temples, but rather determined not to let Hiro be the better person. Again*

I do. I forgive you.

*Hiro straightens up.*

Friends? Or is that too presumptuous?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*faintest smile, half looking lost*

I hope it's something we can get back to. I'm not sure what we are now.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I don't know. We're too close for mere acquaintances and we don't exactly work together.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

And if we are offering and accepting forgiveness, then we can't be enemies.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I don't want to be your enemy. I would not want your forgiveness if I did. It would not matter to me.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Nor do I want to be yours.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Then what are we?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*very softly, looking down*

Boku-wa kimi-no mono.




I'm yours.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro's eyes grow wide.* Anooo...Are koto ga dewanai. How can you be?



You can't be

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*wry twist of a smile, not looking at him*

I always was.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

But you're immortal. You can't belong to someone who will die.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Says who?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

It...it isn't usual. You should claim me, not the other way around.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

You left me, but I could never leave you.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I couldn't stay, Kensei. I didn't belong to that time.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

No, I know. So I waited.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you had to wait so long.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

You're here now.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Now may be all we have.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Then it needs to be enough.

*Hiro kisses him, then is rather stunned by his audacity.*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*Adam's slightly stunned, but leans into him, returning the kiss eagerly*
