[Weiß Kreuz] Mannerisms
Title: Mannerisms Author: Trio Maxwell-Chang Fandom: Weiß Kreuz Pairing or POV: Ken/Aya Special Note: Another Christmas drabble that was requested in AIM. Merry Christmas, Ara-chan!
They spent a lot of time together, though it didn’t often seem like Ken managed to spend any time with the real Aya. The redhead was far too focused and obsessive to let Ken in on his true self, and Ken was too accepting of others’ secrets. He’d had far too many of his own to assume that anyone would be comfortable with the idea of sharing their past. But they still spent a lot of time together, practicing and working. And even with little to no conversation, Ken grew to understand Aya a little better with each passing day. Mannerisms remained the same, small things that Aya always did. They comforted Ken, made him feel a little closer to the aloof redhead.
Their fingers brushed occasionally as they repotted plants, and somehow, those gentle caresses warmed Ken. He loved it when Aya’s body landed atop his in the sparring practices, liked the few seconds’ fantasy that it wasn’t sparring at all. But those softer touches stayed with him for days. And he wondered, occasionally, if there was passion beneath the icy surface. And, too, what it would take to draw it out.
