You had once before heard the others talk about this Shinrei. You heard them say that this man, who is standing right in front of you at the moment, is the brother of Hotaru.
You sigh in disbelief.
Hotaru can’t possibly have a brother.
At least, you can’t imagine your old friend could have a brother. Or any family at all, for that matter. It is a surrealistic thought to you, mostly because Hotaru always had been a loner.

Somehow, like Kyo, but then again not at all like him. But now, you find yourself in front of this said brother of Hotaru, without any idea of his appearance. The only thing you are sure about is the sound of Shinreis voice. And that voice is nothing like Hotarus. It’s a proud voice, a strong voice, indeed. Hotarus voice is not proud… not strong. It is careless and always low.
Rarely showing any feelings its owner may have had at the moment of speech.

The fact that their voices are so completely different makes you think.
At the moment present your highest wish, is to learn the looks and person of this man. But you aren’t quite sure how to.

The man in front of you lets out a frustrated sigh.

“Are you going to ask me something, or could we start to figure out how we are going to find our way out of this place?”

The sudden sound of his voice wakes you form your thoughts.

“Pardon?” you hadn’t been paying attention to the words, coming from Shinrei. Slowly you return to your current situation.

Your’e inside some sort of cave, that much are you sure about, but that aside and the fact that the entrance is blocked by large rocks, you don’t know more. You can feel the darkness around You both, not that it bother you that much, since your’e already blind. Buy you can sense that Shinrei is slightly annoyed by not being able to se anything. Both his voice and his aura gave him away, when he repeats his words. You turn your face towards the voice.

You actually like the voice.

You then reply “I don’t think were going to get out of here by ourselves. I don’t sense any exit anywhere.”
S
hinrei lets out another frustrated sigh “then what would you suggest?”

You raise your hand to your chin. A bad habit of yours.
You always do that whenever you are thinking or floating away in pleasant daydreams.

“Perhaps the wisest thing to do would be just to wait.”

“And you truly believe that they will come looking for us?”

You don’t need to think a second before answering the question “Yes!”

“And what makes you so certain about that?” there’s traces of doubt in Shinreis voice.

“Kyo does always come back…” You suppress a smile when you hear Shinrei let out, yet another frustrated sigh, and you briefly wonder if, this guy know any other ways of sighing.

“I guess so… then now what?” Shinrei speaks out again.

“Well… I suggest we get to know each other?”

You really want to know this person. You do, not for one second, believe that this determined person can have any relation to the Hotaru you know. You feel Shinrei slowly begins to let his guards down and you take this action as an approval to continue.

“Is it really true that Hotaru is your brother?”

The question caught Shinreis attention immediately, and the answer follows quick “Half-brother!”

You take one step towards the other man “I see…” you say thoughtfully. “That did explain a lot”

You feel Shinreis hesitation hanging in his aura before he speaks out “like what?”

You tilt his head “like how different your voices are. And your auras.”

“How about our looks?” Shinrei obviously lets out the words before he remembered the fact that he was having a conversation with a blind man. “I apologize, Akira-san. I forgot.”

You, once again, suppress a smile. You’re often amused by people, when they forget that you’re blind. And Shinrei was definitely no exception. “That’s okay. People often forget.”

“Still I…” he’s cut of by your voice.

“Don’t think about it, dear Shinrei-san. But you made me wonder…”

“About what?” the embarrassment in Shinreis voice’s replaced by curiosity.

“Are your looks really that different? I guess I’ll never know…”

“Is there really no way for you to determine peoples looks? I mean…”

“There is a way, but it’s not quite appropriate, when we hardly know each other.” You say politely. You can never believe that this man, Hotarus half-brother, will ever allow you to explore his features. But you will soon find yourself to be proven wrong.

“Please explain” it is a direct order coming from the other man, and you find that you’re unable to deny the request.

“If you will let me see you with my hands, I’ll be able to construct an inner picture of your appearance. But, as I said before, it’s not appropriate when we hardly know each other…”

“I agree, but don’t you think that it’s rude of me too? I mean, here we are, having a conversation and you have absolutely no idea of who you are talking to.”

“Well…” You see his point, but you are still held back by your own politeness. You suddenly feel Shinrei enter your personal space and before you are able to react, you find your hands on Shinreis cheeks. Shinreis gloved hands on top of yours. You feel his jaw move, when he speaks out again.

“Akira-san, I hate rudeness. And I rather find myself in an inappropriate situation, than a rude one.”
You feel his grip on your hands loosen as the man continue to talk “so please, Akira-san, find out how I don’t look like my good for nothing half-brother.”

The voice is hard and demanding and once again you find that you’re unable to do anything, but follow the order. You take a deep breath; before you let your hands slide upwards, to meet his hairline. Carefully you let your fingers run through the silky strands. You stop for a moment, carefully memorizing the feeling and comparing it to how you remember Hotarus hair. And Shinreis hair is just the same as Hotarus.

“Which colour?” you ask.

Shinrei takes a moment to think before he replies “I believe silvery-white would be the correct description.”

“Oh… not like Hotaru…” you let your fingers run through his hair, while imagine the colour of it, out of the description given to you.

“No, not at all like Hotaru.” Shinrei replies.

“I see…” You lower your hands and slide your fingers across Shinreis forehead. You can feel his hair fall down and cover your hands on his forehead. It makes you smile.
Slovly you let your thumbs stroke his eyebrows, before you move down to the protruding cheekbones. Not quite as sharp as Hotarus, you notice. You let your indexes follow the bone, while your thumbs turn their attention to the well-defined nose in the middle.

Shinrei shut his eyes close when your fingers trace his eyelids, in effort to determine the size of his eyes. Your fingers tell you that they are a little larger than those of Hotarus. With a smile you let your hands travel down. Slowly you follow his jawbone, and when your hands meet at the defiant chin you let them go up once
again.

You let out a small gasp at the feel of moist lips beneath your fingers. You can feel his breathing against your skin. It’s calm and steady. Slowly you trace the contours of the other mans lips but stops in surprise as Shinrei parted his lips in order moist them with his tongue.
His tongue feels warm and wet against your fingers, and you feel Shinrei stiffen. As if his own action had shocked him. Even though it is a natural action.

You remove your hands from hid face and let them slide down the neck. You stop when you feel the silky fabric of Shinreis clothing, pulling your hands back. You don’t think it would be appropriate to continue to feel the other mans body.

It would be crossing the line. Your thoughts are interrupted by Shinreis voice. It is shaking slightly, you notice. Perhaps you already crossed his line, but it was, you remind yourself, Shinrei who told you to do it in the first place.

“So, tell me, Akira-san. Did you get your inner image?”

You smile “almost… I still need one thing to complete it.”

“Tell me!”

“Your eyes… tell me your colour.”

“Amber-gold. Like Hotaru.”

You are silent for a moment while completing the jigsaw of Shinreis face. And the result makes you sigh. Not in frustration, but in delight. The picture inside your head does indeed attract you.

“Oh… beautiful…” you whisper beneath your breath as you feel Shinreis eyes on you.

“Akira-san. What’s your colour?”

You sigh again. This time in relief, when you realize that, apparently he hadn’t heard you. But you’re confused
by the question. “My colour?” you repeat.

“Yes, your eyes… tell me your colour!” once again demanding in his voice.

“Oh…” You have to think for a moment. You hadn’t been paying your eyes much attention since you went blind. “Blue… light blue.” You feel like you owe Shinrei the answer.

“I like blue…”

You raise your hand “May I?” you ask.

Shinrei get your idea and makes an approving sound.

You place your palm against his cheek. You need to feel those lips once more, so you slowly move your hand to the corner of his mouth, continuing to trace his still moist lips.
They’re so soft.
You get lost in your thoughts, and nearly jump in surprise when his gloved fingers close around your wrist. You’re just about to ask if you crossed the line, when you feel the lips beneath your fingers part.
You freeze when he let his tongue touch your fingers briefly before he closes his lips around two of them. You feel his tongue brush over the digits before he starts to suck them gently.

You can feel he’s staring at you, and that feeling makes something inside you grow. You aren’t too familiar with this particular feeling, because you’d spent most of your life training, not really leaving any time to explore your basic human needs.

But Shinreis action does light a spark inside you. And this time you feel no need, or desire, to ignore it.
For a while you let Shinrei continue. His lips and tongue gently caressing your fingers before you slowly pull your hand back. He let you do it, but he doesn’t loosen his grip on Your wrist.

You raise Your free hand to the other mans shoulder.
You’re curious.
By now your fingers knew the feeling of those lips, but you want to know more.
You move your face closer, sensing Shinreis scent, and memorizing it. He smells like the ocean on a cold winter day, mixed with a vague scent of lavender. You find it odd that a man, a warrior, would smell like a flower, but this, combined with his mental image of the man in front of you, only serves to attract you further.

Without hesitation you lean in and place your own, dry lips on those soft and sweet lips of Shinreis.
You halfway expect Shinrei to beat you up for this, but he doesn’t. Instead you feel his lips part beneath yours, before he slowly let his tongue out trough them.

Your pulse rises at the feel of his tongue tracing over your lips. Demanding your lips to part, demanding them to let him in. You can’t help but let out a small moan when you part them. Immediately you feel Shinreis tongue move past your lips before it gently began to coax you into responding. Slowly you start to mimic the movements and brush your tongue against his.

When Shinrei breaks the kiss, he’s leaving you with this unfamiliar feeling inside and confusion painted all over your young face. Your hand is still resting on his shoulder and your attention is focused on the man in front of you. While holding your breath you wait for Shinrei to talk. Or act. But Shinrei does nothing, at least for a while. When he finally speaks, you let out the air you were holding, in relief.

“So, Akira… By now you know the colour of my eyes and my hair. You know the features of my face…” he pauses.

You had to admit that you aren’t paying full attention to the words spoken to you.
You are wondering about how Shinreis body would feel against your fingers.

“And you also discovered my scent and my taste… does that give you a full image?”
