16. Doubt and Trust ~ Part 1

"Made my mistakes, let you down, 
and I can't hold on for too long,
Ran my whole life in the ground,
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone."


"Sora, this is stupid."
I ignore my partner, tightening my hold on his hands as he tried to pull away. He groans but doesn't fight me.
"You have to focus too, Corrin," I tell him, keeping my eyes closed.
He sighs, and I can tell he's shut his eyes as well as I feel his soul gently pressuring the air around mine. I smile despite myself at our juvenile progress. Then his soul pulls away, followed by his hands from mine.
I open my eyes and look up at him as he stands.
"Corrin," I urge, "We need to practice."
He shakes his head, tousling his dark brunette hair as he says, "We've done enough. Now come on, I can almost hear your stomach growling."
I study his hand, which has outstretched towards me. I think about the cramp in my legs from having them crossed for almost three hours, and the fact that I've been fighting off a headache since we started the procedure. I'm sure Corrin is in bad shape too. I reach up and take his hand.
"Lunch?" He questions?
I nod once. "Lunch."
Unfortunately, my grumbling stomach would not be filled for another few hours.
A meister and weapon pair pass us in the hall, and they're moving pretty fast.
"What's the deal?" Corrin calls to them, and the meister turns.
"Witches. A good sized horde of 'em, in front of the school."
My brow furrows. "Strong?"
The weapon shrugs. "Some of them, maybe, but the lot of them alone are threatening."
The two sprint back down the hall. I feel Corrin's eyes on me, but I keep mine trained on my sneakers.
"Sorry," he says simply, "but I promise that we'll get dinner after this."
I meet his eyes and smile softly, reaching out my hand. "And dessert."
"And dessert."
He takes my hand and I let myself melt, shifting forms until I sit in the palm of his hand, my body a gleaming silver and black long-sword. Corrin wraps both hands around the double handle.
"Ready?" My meister asks.
"Ready," I reply.

About this post...I really like Sora and Corrin together!! And lately I've had a lot of inspiration about partners and such and was kind of tired of continuously writing stories about a girl and a boy. (This probably won't stop, though, sorry )
Anyway, yes I like them. Together. <3
Sooooooo I brought them back. I hope their story excites any who read this.
btw this is a fanfiction.
Info:
Meisters: skilled humans who have the ability to match soul wavelengths with a weapon
Weapons (also called Eaters) : have the ability to transform into a type of weapon (ex: sword, knife, halberd). They are used to collect souls, mainly kishin eggs.
Kishin: evil :P
DWMA: where young meisters and weapons are trained to hone their skills (Death Weapon Meister Academy)
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
