Broken Hearts

[bunnialchemistmeep]

((Hmm...let's just go with it for a while and we'll see where it goes. perhaps not immediatley, since her recent heartbreak.))
Kunst looked into Toki's cherry eyes. up close they were very pretty...like rubies.
"Toki...How did someone break your heart?"

[.Ç.£.ø.µ.ð.s.]

Toki blinked back a stray tear, and quickly lowered his head, embaressed. Daggit! That was a tad close! She almost saw that in there...
"Well," he replied. "I was seven years old see? At that time, I had just learned about Kiru. He didn't have any control at that time, so I was okay. Anyways, there was a girl I really like in my class. She was everything I could want! The looks, the attitude, the understanding! But it was all a hoax to make me let my guard down" Ruro shivered as he remembered. He looked up to the ceiling and ran a hand through his hair, sighing.
"I got the courage one day to tell her my feelings, but all she did was look down her nose at me. I mean!" Here Toki laughed roughly. "After all, I was only a poor kid with an older runaway brother, and hardly any food between my family and me! And she was one of those popular, rich kids..." Ruro laughed again. "She only said 'Why would I go out with a freak like you?!' That snapped me, and I ran away from the school to my home, where I cried and cried... Mom couldn't gat an answer out of me, and dad and my missing older sibling weren't there to help her!" Toki glanced at Kunst, then looked away again, not daring to meet eyes. "Then the akuma came one day. My mom was never able to figure out the crying issue, and she'll never know. She's dead."

((P.S., he did not turn his mum into an akuma.))

"Oh, Toki..."
Kunst felt like the most self-centered piece of nuts in the world. Krory had only told her that she deserved better than he. But Toki had suffered so much more than she had. Her parents had taken care of her and they lived comfortably. and however transparent their love for her had been, they were still alive somewhere.
Kunst gently put her hand on his cheek so that their eyes met.
"How does it feel...to have the love of a mother?"

[.Ç.£.ø.µ.ð.s.]

Toki yanked his head away roughly and stood up. Sharpish mind. *Still can't let her see...*
"Psh, love of a mother my butt... She had no love, only for dad and my brother. That's why she never got any answer outta me!!"
Ruro stomped a bit over to Kunst's bedroom window. His stomach started to get a twinge, then his hands, and after a few seconds, his whole body began to tremble. "I never knew the love of a mother. Niether a father, and not a brother..." Softly, so Kunst wouldn't hear, Toki also whispered "Not until now..." He was relunctant to share his hallway meeting.
Ruro's red eyes began to sting, as tears that had been held back for countless days began to come forth. He didn't try to stop them, knowing that he couldn't even if he had tried. "You knew how a mother was, right?"

((*Still*= thoughts. And you'll learn what you can't see for now... in about two-three posts. It has something to do with how deep you look into those red eyes..))

[bunnialchemistmeep]

Kunst frowned, walked over to Toki, and wiped the tears from his eyes. She understood that he did not desire eye contact, so she looked out the window, as the last orange flicker of the sun dissappeared behind the clouds. She took his soft and slightly calloused hands into her own oil-stained ones.
"I didn't experience the love of a mother either. She was so depressed after the death of my brother that she never once smiled. I miss my dad, though. He'd always smile and wink at me and call me 'tiger'."
She laughed a little, and then the smile faded.
"Toki, I think that the day my parents dissappeared, my mother tried to bring back Arcturus-that was what mom called my brother-and she was turned into an akuma. I never thought I'd see the day when I was glad that Momma forgot about me."
Kunst leaned onto Toki (Which was difficult, since they were both the same height) and closed her eyes.

[.Ç.£.ø.µ.ð.s.]

Toki smiled and frowned at the appropriate times, but none were that heartfelt. He squeezed Kunst's hands, just to make sure they were real. Softly, he pulled one hand out and placed it around her shoulders, drawing her in even coloser.
"I'm sorry about your Mum... " Toki ran a finger through her hair, and smiled. It was good, having a friend he could talk to. Really good... *Tiger... hmmm.*
"So, have you ever seen your brother, I mean, as an akuma?" He knew it was a harsh question, but he didn't care. Some things you gotta take as harshly as possible, just to find the answer. And that answer is usually for the best.


((Okay, here's the thing. When Toki is thinking, he hardly ever notices what he is doing. Sorta like an autopilot. Also, I was thinking about the height and age thing. I might make him a tad taller {{inch or two}} and maybe a year older {{like four days ago was his birthday}} just so it isn't so awkward... Alright wit' you?))

[bunnialchemistmeep]

((Okay. but he's still pretty short. or maybe Kunst is just tall. Also, can I have Kunst ask him why he doesn't want to make eye contact, or will he bring that up on his own?))
"Oh...no, I haven't. but chances are that another exorcist didn't kill him, He'd be a pretty powerful akuma by now. I think I'll have to face him someday."
Kunst looked back outside at the darkened sky, the first few stars beginning to appear.
"It's funny, Toki. I used to think about having to face Arcturus someday and feeling really scared. But whenever I'm with you, I feel like I could face anything and survive."

[.Ç.£.ø.µ.ð.s.]

((He is 5'8" now... and 17 years old. And yeah, you should have Kunst ask, just to make it easier for Toki to explain.))

"Arcturus, that's a nice name..." Toki murmured.

"But whenever I am with you, I feel like I could face anything and survive."

"Survive, eh? I can't promise any survivin' when you be with me..." Toki reverted back to his old day speech. "Within the promises, heh..." Ruro blushed a tad, and spoke normally then. "But if I help you in that way, then it is better than I expected. Maybe I can..."

[bunnialchemistmeep]

Kunst nodded.
"Arcturus is one of the stars in the constellation of virgo. Virgo holds two plants, one of them is arcturus, and the other one is called Spika."
Kunst paused and held toki closer.
"Toki...why won't you look me in the eye?"

((By the way, if Arcturus' twin star is Spika, then Spika is Kunst's real name. by telling toki that, she is trusting him with her real identity. so...he can call her Spika if he wants.))

[.Ç.£.ø.µ.ð.s.]

"So what does that mean, you are Spika? Heh, I like that name better, Spika..." Toki shivered slightly at her question.
"You see..." he didn't know how to word it. Only confusion would ensue if he continued, so he stopped for a few minutes, and thought. Finally, he figured it out.
"When I was broken by that girl... Kyra was her name... Well, something about the way I saw things changed. Same with the way peole saw me! My heart knew pain for real, and my body adapted into this. I became someone else. The only thing that didn't change were my eyes. They still only show a scared little kid. I never want anybody to see that. It's just plain ol' scary..." Toki glanced at Spika/Kunst. "I never want you to see I am still a scared little brat in this world. I figured you wouldn't wanna talketh to me..."
Maybe she won't! Kiru spoke.
Maybe, maybe not...


((I shall call you Spika and you shall be my Spika! C'mere likkle Spika, c'mere- OWCH! Baaad Spika! ~~Finding Nemo remodeling!
Anyways, Toki did talk to Kiru, and they have come to an agreement, that was why they were talking normally at the end
And I really like that hidden name thing! Completely fits in this! L¢¾VE IT!))

[bunnialchemistmeep]

((I think the hidden name thing may become a big thing, possibly even a subject of a mission in later RPs. there is a saying that helps a person find the constellation Virgo, "Arc on down to Arcturus, and Spike on down to Spika". Plot device? maybe. What do you think? the RP would have you too.))

Kunst, or Spika hugged Toki tightly, and then looked at him, Just below his eyes.
"Toki, I would never judge you for who you were or who you are or whatever. What would make you think that? We all have inner demons."
Spika pressed her hand to her own heart, and then to Toki's.
"For us, it's our brothers."
She sighed and looked to the ground.
"But if you still don't trust me enough, it's alright."

[.Ç.£.ø.µ.ð.s.]

((OOoh! Can't wait until the datails are refined. Should I post anything on the Arc on Down, like with Toki somehow randomly being there? Or no... wOOOp for hidden names!))

"Inner demons... For us, it's our brothers!
The small saying jarred Toki in ways he had never known. *Why, HOW? does she always do this!?*
Ruro lifted her head up, by the chin, and looked for the first time deeply into another humans' eyes. "I do trust you, at least, now I do..." Something happened then, of which Toki might never be able to explain. He finally knew, really knew!
"Spika..." and he leaned slightly forward, and placed his forehead on hers. Toki hugged her back, strongly. "I- I love you..."


((Can they kiss now! PLEASE!? It's too romantic for it NOT to happen!!!))

[bunnialchemistmeep]

((Yeah, he can be at the Oslo Library. and anyone else you want to RP. it'll be awesome.))

Spika slowly processed what Toki had said in her mind. THIS was what Krory had meant!
"T-toki..."
Without another word, She pressed her lips against his, and it took them both a few seconds to realize that they were kissing. When she parted from him to breathe, she uttered the most honest and heartfelt thing she had ever said to anyone in her entire life.
"I love you too, Toki."

((D'Awwwww...))

[.Ç.£.ø.µ.ð.s.]

((TT.TT My Toki has grown up! *hiccup-sniff*))

"Wow..." that was all he could say. Words mean nothing, 'cause actions count for all...
You've grown up, l'il bro... murmured Kiru.
I dunno... Ruro replied.
Toki chuckled and kissed Spika again, to make sure it wasn't just her hands that were real. "So, is this a way to say you are my girlfriend?"

((So... Toki xXx Kunst now, eh? wOOOOOOOp!))

[bunnialchemistmeep]

((Yeeeey! And by the way, how often do you change your screenname, once a week?))

Spika blushed and fidgeted nervously.
"Uh...I guess so...but I've never actually had a boyfriend before, so I might act like a total dork most of the time."

((Aw, Kunst, so self-concious. Don't you realize that he's drooly about you?!))
