[log] [ongoing]
When; April 18, evening; before here
Rating; PG
Characters; Jowy [![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
for_destiny] & Riou [bright_shield]
Summary; On the way back to his apartment, Jowy - armed with books of questionable topics - meets Riou on the streets. Slight embarrassment ensues. ♥
Log;
Silently, Jowy questioned the Black Sword if this was its doing.
He stared, for a very brief moment, unable to do anything but stare at the scattered books he had borrowed from the library on the street pavement, a very familiar pair of boots in very plain view, not to mention a voice that he could never mistake with anyone's else in his ears. "Riou-" he said curtly, giving his (once?) best friend a short glance before bending down to collect the books on the floor. People stumbled into each other, and certainly, he had acknowledged the slim chance of stumbling into Riou on the streets, but not literally doing so.
Easily, as soon as his mind was sure this was really Riou in front of him, he slipped on that quiet and unyielding mask. Still though, how could anyone not be anxious (Jowy was slightly so) in the situation he now found himself in?
Sex Between Men. Was that the Black Sword laughing at the back of his mind?
He could almost imagine the thoughts running through the Bright Shield bearer's head.
How could the King of Highland sink any lower?

"I saw Luca Blight too that day--" --he wouldn't bloody leave me alone!-- "and about half the Highland army as well, it seemed." -- and Genkaku who sent me out there to rescue you--
"But that doesn't explain why you were passed out in the woods. Unless-- were you trying to fight them? They weren't really physically there..."
Riou gazed at Jowy's retreating back. "As for Bright Shield, it doesn't really drain me when I use it, at least if I'm not doing something exhorbitant like fighting off another true rune."
No, it didn't really drain him when he used it, or when he was in danger, or if he was doing anything important or something that would put him at risk. It was just those other moments-- all those other moments...
He wasn't lying precisely, just not telling the whole truth. And even so, he had gotten rather good at the lying during the war... pretending to always be confident and full of hope and optimism and assuring everyone that everything would be all right when he knew no such damn thing and didn't have a bloody clue what he was doing.
"Bright Shield is the healer, after all." And Riou slipped on a small, soft smile that he had grown used to over the past year. That smile-- wasn't exactly a lie either. Not that Jowy would see it anyway.
