<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Please don't make this any harder than it has to be right now Firu~"</span><br/><br/>Tsu whined softly. In spite of his whining, the large white tiger sat still, not moving a muscle. Just as the demon opted to just yank his tiger along, he heard his name. Instinctively he froze in place. There was only a handful who actually knew his name... and only a couple lived to speak it. And apparently they were right in front of him. His mind wasn't playing games with him... This wasn't some sick fantasy conjured up by his subconscious. His old comrades were really there... The heavy weight he was feeling upon his battered shoulders had suddenly been lifted. Years of stress and worry seemed to fade with each passing second. His fingers released the collar around Firu's neck, and he turned to face the blonde quickly approaching.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">Brand...</span><br/><br/>For the first time in a while, Tsu'Ro brushed back his dark hair revealing his face to another. He just couldn't believe his eyes. Brand had remembered him. He still knew his name...even his face under so many years of hell that may have slightly altered it. This was a dream... It had to be. The gods have never been<b>this</b>good to him. Something bad must just be waiting to tear this moment away from him. Despite his rather, pessimistic thoughts nothing happened to deter the other's hastened path toward him. Tears had begun to rim his dim hazel eyes...the sudden realization of Brand really being there sinking into him. And then, he himself had begun fast steps toward the other.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Brand...it's really you...."</span><br/><br/>Tsu finally spoke to the youngest knight as a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He closed his eyes, the tears streaming down his pale cheeks. It felt like forever as they ventured toward each other. Each step was like torture as Tsu's mind began to wander, and he started to wonder again if any of what was happening was real. But....when their bodies collided, all doubts were gone immediately. Tsu'Ro embraced Brand, his whole being melting within the blond's warmth. He was so ecstatic. Slowly, the flowers that seemed to sprout from his neck and wrist had begun to bloom. A cool wind blew through the area around them, the branches of the trees, small flowers and weeds began to bloom to their fullest potential--his powers running a little rampant.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"I'm truly surprised you've even remembered me....it has been entirely to long~"</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">Good lord master he's naked~</span><br/><br/>Tsu'Ro hadn't even noticed, nor did he hear Firu's voice in his head. He was too caught up in the moment to even notice. All he knew was that all his searching had payed off. Whatever was wrong with the world barely phased him now that he was within the arms of Brand. Nothing else mattered at the moment....nothing else.
