A dark angel(private, me and KTH)

Takumi was sitting alone at his customary back table, fiddling with his amulet. His cloak was spread around him in a dark cloud. He was muttering to himself, his eyes dark and full of heavy emotions. His chocolate hair fell in front of his face, and he brushed it away with a sweep of his hand.

Julius was sitting at the the table in the Fairy Tail guild as usual. He was singing softly a song he learnt on the island. Next chance to move on rise up with the dawn... He then heard Squable flapping his wings towards Julius. He landed on his shoulder *Squawk* Oi Julius-kun why the singing lad? *sigh* It's nothing really Squable... Julius looked around the guild and noticed Takumi sitting at a black table. Julius had seen him around the guild but never really talked to him Julius noticed a gloomy presence surrounding him. Hmm maybe Takumi-kun would like to have some company... Julius stood up and walked towards Takumi. Hey Takumi-kun! How are you? Julius said with a smile.

Takumi looked up. "Oh, hi Julius-kun. I didn't notice you. I'm... not exactly doing well right now. My sister... She joined a dark guild, tried to kill me and our other sister. I'm not in the best mood right now, unfortunately." He replied. Takumi sat up, his tall frame had been hunched over, as though his emotions were weighing him down physically. He stopped fiddling with the emerald amulet and looked straight at Julius with those sapphire blue eyes. His delicate face lifted up to reveal dark circles ringing his eyes.

Takumi was even more disheveled than normal, his eyes ringed with dark circles, his clothes wrinkled, and his hair unbrushed. His eyes were full of pain, but also held a spark, a spark of light. he was going through unspeakable agony, but he still managed to look hopeful and warm. how was that even possible?

Julius is so sorry to hear that Takumi-kun! Is there anything Julius can do to help you? Julius was really worried since he always hated it to see his guild mates suffer. Julius couldn't help but notice that Takumi kept starring at Julius. Uhhh... does Julius has something on Julius' face? Julius felt a bit awkward he wasn't used to see others staring at him. He surely wasn't used to see eyes as Takumi's stare at him Julius could see pain and suffer in his which almost pushed him to tears.

Takumi looked at Julius. "There's nothing on your face, Julius. I'm just... worn out, a bit. It's just a bit hard trying to deal with the fact that one of my sisters, who i've practically raised since we were orphaned at 10, wants to kill me." Takumi did look rather tired... His dark cloak fluttered about him as he sat up straighter, still holding Julius's gaze.

Takumi was veeeery tired. "Goddammit, I need to stop wallowing in self pity!" He exclaimed. He adjusted his shirt, but winced. The pain as starting again... He took a blue phial out of his pocket and swallowed the contents before the pain could get any worse. His side was throbbing as he swallowed the contents.

Julius felt sad for Takumi as he told the story that his sister is out to kill him. That is so sad to hear Takumi-kun... Julius thinks you are in need for a friend! Julius eagerly sat down on one of the chairs in a attempt to cheer him up. Julius waited for a response from Takumi but the only thing Julius got was a very angry reaction Julius looked a bit surprised. Takumi looked in pain and took some kind of pill which only looked like it did more bad then good. Ummm... Takumi-kun... Are you alright?

''not really, no.'' takumi stood up, lifting his shirt to reveal a wine coloured marking across his entire left side of his torso. he pulled his shirt back over it, his eyes feverish. there was a flush in his cheeks... takumi was drunk, drunk on wine and his own emotions.

With out any warning Takumi stood up and lifted his shirt up revealing a wine red mark on his left side. Julius was shocked and also noticed that he was drunk. Julius didn't know what to do he wanted to help Takumi but not when he is drunk. Ummm Julius has to go... Talk to Julius when you're feeling better... Julius stood up and walked away. Julius felt sorry and guilt for leaving Takumi like that when he is in such a pain.

"No... don't go. Please." Takumi ran after Julius, still surprisingly light on his feet and steady as a rock. He grabbed Julius by the hand. His sapphire eyes locked on julius's own once more. And then he did something that was stupid? probably. dangerous? most likely. He pulled Julius closer, wrapped his arms around him, and kissed him. Surprisingly, he smelled clean and sweet, and not like alchohol. Tears dripped down his face as he kissed Julius, memories boiling up by the thousand.

Julius walked away when he felt someone pulling on Julius' hand he turned around to see Takumi. He looked very desperate. But what he did next was very surprising. Takumi pulled Julius towards him and kissed him. Julius' eyes went wide open from surprise and he began blushing. When Julius finally broke free he saw that Takumi was crying. Takumi-kun... W-w-why did you kiss Julius? Julius wasn't mad he was just very very surprised by the kiss.

“because you're different from anyone i've ever met before. you're the person who came to comfort the poor sad new guy. you're the person who greeted me with a bear hug when i joined the guild, even though you didn't know me. you are a good person, and I can't seem to help myself around people like you.” Takumi was cursing himself as an idiot internally. he felt so stupid now...

Julius didn't know what to say. He had to admit that he felt flattered but they barely knew each other. Umm listen Takumi-kun... J-J-Julius thinks you are very nice but... Julius was at a loss of words he didn't want to hurt Takumi's feelings. Maybe it's for the best that we first get to know each other better and then we will look from that point further... And please don't see this as a rejection. Julius tried to sound as calm and collected as possible while on the inside a hundred thoughts came through.

"It seems I really am horrible with people. What was I thinking?" Takumi's head was throbbing, his skull about to split open from pain. He clutched at his amulet like a lifeline, as if it were the only thing keeping him from collapsing on the spot. Takumi looked at Julius, blue eyes glistening. "This isn't even what I really look like." Takumi grabbed a cup of water and dumped it over his head. The brown began to wash out of his hair, the tan from his skin as well. Soon his skin and hair were both silvery white, his eyes even more startlingly bright against the pale backdrop of Takumi's face. Those blue eyes were almost painfully bright against his white skin. Takumi was even more startlingly pale than normal, his black clothes making him as white as snow.

Takumi blamed himself for being terrible with people and then suddenly threw a cup of water into his face revealing a pale white skin and silver white hair. Julius was even more surprised how many surprises did Takumi had? Julius wondered. Listen Takumi-kun... He said while Julius rested a hand on Takumi's cheek. Don't blame yourself... Julius knows for certain that you are a wonderful and nice person... You just have some life problems right now and Julius knows how annoying and irritating they are. But it are those problems makes us stronger in the end... Julius will help you to get through these problems. Julius was now hugging Takumi. Because you can't overcome these problems entirely on your own. Do you understand what Julius is saying to you?

Takumi pulled away with a blush, unable to hide it with his pale skin. His dripping hair fell in his eyes. "Julius. Its nice of you to say that, but it's something that always happens. I always do something that pushes peopl e away. Nothing new really happened here, nothing that hasn't already happened." Takumi went to step backwards, but he must've tripped, because a moment later, he was falling. As takumi fell his head struck the nearest table, and he began bleeding from a gash on his forehead. "Julius, I can't even keep myself from getting hurt." Takumi got up and winced slightly, before ripping a strip from the bottom of his cloak to press against the gash.

Takumi blushed when he pulled himself back but began blaming himself again. Julius didn't really know what to do he wanted to help Takumi but didn't really know how to. Not a moment later or Takumi would trip and hit his head against a table he was bleeding. "Listen Takumi Julius really wants to help you but first you have to be a little bit mor e positive because remaining negative will only make things worse." Julius said concerned.

"You're right, Julius. I should be more positive. I'm sorry for that negativity." Takumi looked at Julius and dropped the strip of cloth that he was holding to the gash. He crossed the distance between them and hugged the other boy. "Thank you for trying so hard to cheer me up, Julius. It means a lot to me."

"Not everyone Julius. I still have one sister, and Fairy Tail will always be family to me." Takumi knew they always would be family, even though he hadn't been part of the guild for that long. Everyone was so full of life, it was near impossible no to think of yourself as belonging to a huge family of other wizards.
