[Weiß Kreuz] Five Weeks
Title: Five Weeks Author: Trio Maxwell-Chang Fandom: Weiß Kreuz Pairing or POV: Nagi
Five weeks since the fall of the citadel. Five weeks since their last fight; five weeks for Weiss to recover. They'd recovered well, from what those storm-blue eyes saw. Five weeks to discover that Kritiker had no intentions to disband them just yet. Five weeks to get settled back into the daily work of flowers and blood. Five weeks he'd watched them, sometimes at Crawford's behest but most often on his own, his eyes tracking their movements thoughtfully. He'd been amused at first, watching their stumbling words and the way they haltingly resumed their lives. They'd expected to die. It was entirely possible that they'd wanted death, welcomed it. But they'd survived, and they'd had five weeks to pick up the pieces. They weren't a threat to Schwarz. If they'd ever been, that last fight had finished it. Schwarz was done with them, and most often, it was curiosity and amusement that drew him back to watch them, perching in trees and on rafters. Eventually they'd catch him, but right now, their senses were dulled and their lives too chaotic to allow them the opportunity to stop and look up.
No one ever looked up, Nagi reflected, as he moved to a new branch with the grace of a squirrel, his eyes tracking the redhead in amusement. No one ever looked up, and that was a shame.
