Staring through golden pools, he watched the moon something very much unlike him. "Damnit," he swore softly. Although no one knew of this, Xigbar hadn't always been that insult dealing jerk that everyone thought him to be. Heck, he use to be the exact opposite; as he thought about what happened in the past.
He felt his non-existent heart shatter once more, it was always hard to think of the past for him. But yet it must've been harder for Xaldin, although hardly anyone knew about the truth with Xaldin.
Frowning softly Xigbar had come to treating Xaldin like a little brother, but enough with that empty, emotionless thought and on to Sora. Snarling as a picture of Sora showed up in his mind, Xigbar found complete and total rage towards the young keybearer. But not letting anyone see that flash of anger, shaking his head dismissing the feeling of pure rage towards the keybearer.
The raven streaked in some spots gray haired nobody, looked up thinking about something most wouldn't understand.
Walking alone beneath the lights of that miracle mile
As he couldn't shake that though, the golden-eyed nobody thought about his childhood friends. As the thought of that one girl came to his mind, he growled darkly at the mere thought of her. Why did he even bother with love? It was a stupid, pointless thing in his opinion. Stopping as he heard, a whispered voice that belonged to Xaldin. "Xigbar, Saix."
Looking at Saix who was passing by, Saix summoned a portal and walked through it. Sure, it was strange that Saix would do that; but him and Xaldin seemed to becoming rather close to each other. As the two nobodies arrived he noted how Xaldin held his silence, looking at them he said finally, "I don't think I'll return, so if this feeling is true. Goodbye." Stunned by this Xigbar remained quiet until, Saix blurted out for him and Xigbar,
"What?! What are you talking about, Xaldin?!"
Me and Mary making our way into the night
Watching as Xaldin shrugged his shoulders, the raven haired nobody held his silence. It was very clear that Xaldin wasn't in the mood for talking, sighing he turned his gaze back to the portal. Glancing over his shoulder, Saix had already gone through the portal. "See you later, Dilan." He mumbled. Walking through the swirling mass, Xigbar didn't head for The World That Never Was but instead he headed for an area no one knew of.
Just like before, the peaceful area nice amount of wind but it wasn't to strong. But yet, the waves were prefect for surfing. Smirking to himself, Xigbar somehow summoned a surfboard. He's outfit wasn't the normal one, instead it was that of a black pair of swimming trunks. As a wicked wave came crashing around him, Xigbar rode it back to shore as his thoughts raced back to Mary.
Hmm, it wasn't that long ago, right? Whatever, I don't care. But I wonder how Mary's doing. He thought, that smirk still on his lips. Xigbar reached the shore, looking around the peaceful area calmed him down; it had always done that within a heartbeat when he did have a heart. "What happened to you, Mary?" He asked himself.
You can hear the cries from the carnival rides
-------
Standing there, the twenty-five year old Braig watched the waves. He enjoyed the water, but he didn't know how to surf. Hearing a giggle behind him, the raven haired young man looked; puzzled by the flaming red head's giggle as she walked closer. He was being held spellbound by those dark, salutary green yes, she was an Irish lass alright. Smirking a little, he looked back at the water as she sat down.
"Hi, my name's Mary. What's yours sir?" She asked softly, shuttering Braig looked at her and replied,
"Braig."
Giggling a little, Mary stood up and asked him, "So, Braig, do you know how to surf?" Shaking his head, he was shocked as Mary grabbed his hand and yanked him to his feet; looking at him with a start in his golden eyes. Flushing by that look, Mary wasn't wearing her shoes instead they were in her hand. Seeing that look, Braig pulled her close as the band began playing.
The pinball bills, skee ball slides
"It's okay, Mary." He whispered, totally forgetting about the surfing the two headed down the beach. Silence having fell in between them, Braig was confused wondering if he had done something wrong. Seeing that Mary had seen the look, he smiled softly trying to cheer her up not wanting to make her upset. Sighing, Mary looked it him those dark green eyes as she said,
"I like to feel the sand beneath my feet."
Smiling, not wanting to upset her Braig held her hand. "It's okay, I don't mind that at all." Remembering that thing with the surfing, Mary lead him to the water, as they hit the water she began to teach him how. After a few minutes, Braig finally caught on and took off easily. As they rode the next big wave, Braig smirked as he saw the smile on Mary's lips.
Watching the summer sun fall out of sight
As they finished the surfing, Braig helped Mary reach the shore. "That was fun," she panted. Nodding his head in agreement, Braig looked around him as he heard her trying to slow her breathing. As she was able to do so, Braig looked at Mary with surprised eyes as she asked him,
"Do you want to go out for dinner?" Nodding his head, Braig lead her through the crowded beach; as they headed straight for a distant restaurant. Smirking, Braig watched Mary with a strange light in his eyes as he waited silently. Hearing a playfully comment of, "So, are you afraid of the water, Braig?" Laughing, he replied coolly,
"No, I'm not afraid of the water." As they reached the cafe, Braig pulled out hsi wallet and payed for their dinner.
There’s a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean
Looking at her to see that Mary had been reaching for her money, smiling he said softly,
"I've got enough cash to get us in, so don't waste your money here 'kay." Seeing the look from the clark, Braig replied with,
"She's a friend, I just met her today." Nodding her head, the clark lead the two 'love birds' to the table. Well, that's her opinion on the two behind her. Stopping she said with a sigh,
"I'll be your waitress for the evening, is there anything you'd like to drink?" Flushing, Mary glanced away from Braig and replied to the young lady; who you could see was clearly in her late teens,
"Yes, I'd like a cup of tea." Smiling, the teen nodded her head. A stray lock of snowy white-gold blond hair fell into her face, staring at Braig with amethyst violet tinted silver eyes she asked,
"And you, sir?" Smiling at the teen, Braig replied simply,
"Tea." Than a question coming to his mind, he added before the white-gold haired teen left, "What's your name?"
Making its way past the hotel wall to fill the streets
Smiling, she spun around and replied in a formal tone, "Firefly." Nodding his head, Braig watched as Firefly left. Seeing that confused look, he stared at Mary and asked her,
"What is it Mary?" Grinning sweetly, Mary sighed a little and replied,
"I don't think you understand, there's something about Firefly. It's..." Breaking off, Mary watched as Firefly came back with their drinks. Seeing a look of pure anger tossed to her, Firefly than stalked off in a foul mood about something. Shrugging his shoulders, Braig leaned across the table and whispered,
"Don't worry, Firefly's always cranky for a bit. She'll calm down, I promise." Nodding her head, Mary lend in and replied softly,
"Yeah."
Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hands
As the minutes ticked by, Braig finally sighed and mumbled, "I don't know why, but I love you, Mary." Smiling, Mary could help but laugh at this. Braig also began lauging, it was kinda strange to say that to her. As Firefly came back, she smiled sweetly at the both of them. Looking at Mary, the white-gold haired nineteen year old asked,
"May I sit down? I happen to be on break, so would it be okay if I joined you?" Nodding his head, Braig looked at Mary to see she didn't mind. Sighing, he asked the two females,
"Do either of you believe in love at first sight?" Nodding her head, Mary replied swiftly to the question,
"Of course." Nodding her head in agreement, Firefly watched the two of them. Seeing the smirk, Braig looked at her puzzled by that look that she gave them.
Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet
As they finally stood up to leave, Braig looked at Firefly and asked her, "Why were you so mean to Mary?" Smiling softly, the white-gold haired teen replied,
"I'm sorry sir, I don't know what got into me." As the flaming red head looked at her, the young woman replied for the teen,
"Because, Firefly's my half-sister. The reason being, is that my mom got ditched by my father and hooked up with another lass. I barely remember him, I guess that's why she was ticked off with me." Smiling, Braig replied softly to Mary,
"It doesn't matter to me." Sighing, knowing this piece wasn't true he whispered,
"I love you."
And in the morning I'm leaving
-------------
Looking up, Xigbar smiled softly as he thought about Mary. Shaking his head, he wasn't even aware of the fact Xaldin had faded away. Standing up, Xigbar looked around him watching the calm water. But what caused him to turn around was a very familier voice called, "Braig, is that you?" Turning to face the person, he saw a young woman at the most the age of twenty-five. Her snowy white-gold hair glistened in the sun, smiling softly Xigbar asked her,
"Firefly, right?"
Nodding her head, the young lady replied, "Aye sir, I've been waitin' for ye to come back. What's taken ya so long, sugar?" Frowning a little, Xigbar looked away and replied stiffly,
"Nothing, do you know how Mary's doing?"
Making my way back to Cleveland
Laughing a little, Firefly replied in a cheerful tone,
"Fine, she'll be so glad to hear your doing fine, Braig." Laughing, Xigbar looked around him as he laughed in reply,
"Yeah, I can't wait to see her." Seeing that Firefly had turned around, he blinked and followed after the young lady. Catching up to her, Xigbar asked her in a confused tone,
"Where are you going, Firefly?" Looking at him with those now sad, dim amethyst tinted silver eyes she replied,
"I was taking you to see Mary, isn't that what you want sir?" Shaking his head, Xigbar replied stiffly,
"I can't see her, she won't understand why I've been avoiding her."
So, tonight I hope I do just fine
Shaking her head in a furious matter, Firefly said in a ticked off tone, "Why's that Braig? She was crying her eyes out after you left!"
Frowning Xigbar replied in a hallow tone, "It's just that, I'm not the same Braig you use to know. I can't feel, it's strange I know...but I can't a thing. I can't feel love, nothing at all Firefly." Frowning at this, Firefly replied to this piece of info,
"That is a problem." Sighing, Xigbar looked away as he nodded his head as he replied,
"Yeah, that's the exactly the reason why I can't see her." Grinning, Firefly suggested,
"What happens if you don't tell her that?"
And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine
Nodding his head in agreement, Xigbar followed Firefly as she lead the way. "Firefly, so how's Mary been doing?" He asked suddenly, stopping the snowy white-gold haired young woman replied softly,
"Not good, she's been denying ever guy that asked her out. Her heart's shattered beyond repair it seems, but I think you'd be able to help her Braig." Nodding his head in agreement, Xigbar kept up with Firefly easily. Worried about how Mary was doing until he heard someone screamed,
"Leave me alone already!" Picking up his pace, Xigbar out ran Firefly as they both raced down the street. Reaching Mary first, he watched as the flaming red head punched the guy backwards. Looking at Firefly unsure, she urged him to talk to Mary without saying a word still unsure he said to Mary in a normal tone,
"Mary, it's me, Braig." Looking at him, the dark green-eyed lass cried,
"Braig!" Tossing herself at him, the thirty-six year old sighed as he held her close. But what caused him to hold her tigher was: that he felt a heartbeat within his own chest and not Mary's. Looking at her, Xigbar understood that Mary was his light I guess you could say.
There's a local band playing at the seaside pavilion
Frowning, he raised Mary's head up and kissed her lips gently. Breaking it, Xigbar whispered gently, "I'll come back, I promise Mary." Nodding her head, Mary whispered back to him in an extremely gentle and broken tone,
"Okay, I'll talk to you later, Braig."
Nodding his head, Xigbar's throat was dry not allowing him to say anything. Summoning a portal, Xigbar backed up into the swirling mass of darkness. Punching the wall after he was on the other side, Xigbar sighed as he heard Sora. Looking at Sora the raven grey streaked haired nobody heard the lyrics, smiling softly he looked down at the floor.
And I got just enough cash to get us in
As the fight began, Xigbar found himself not all there as he thought about the past.
And as we're dancin' Mary's wrapping her arms around me, and I can feel the sting of summer on my skin. In the midst of the music I tell her I love her, we both laugh cause we know it isn't true. Ah but Mary there's a summer, drawing to an end tonight and there's so much that I long to do to you.
But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland, so tonight I hope that I will do just fine. And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine, and in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland. So tonight I hope that I will do just fine. He thought, as Sora surprisingly got a hit on him.
Xigbar's eyes widened as he fell onto one knee, looking at Sora he didn't care about Sora. What he was staring at was, that flaming red head with those dark green eyes as she cried, "Braig!" As Sora turned around, seeing the lady he looked back at Xigbar complately stunned that this lass knew him.
And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine
As Mary raced over to his side, she skid to a hault wrapping her arms around him. Looking up through cloudy eyes, complately unaware of what was going on around him. Confused, he asked in a strange tone, "What's going on here?" Frowning, Mary held Xigbar close as she whispered to him,
"I...I don't know, Braig. But I know one thing. And that's I...I love you." Staring at her, Xigbar mumbled back in the same caring tone,
"I love you too, Mary." Hearing the question from Sora, he looked at him and replied,
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Without another word, Xigbar disappeared forever leaving Mary behind him. A single pearly tear rolling down his cheek, it hit Mary's face as she cried out to him,
"Why do you have to leave, Braig?!"
Mary I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine
