hsavinienTitle: Masquerade
Author: H. Savinien
Pairing: Mercutio/Benvolio
Disclaimer: Romeo and Juliet belongs to (probably) Wm. Shakespeare, though it's now in the public domain. He would most likely not have minded this interpretation of the guys. I make no profit from this fanderivation.
Rating: PG, angst, archaic speech
Wordcount: 100
A. N.: Fic inspired by cillabub's fanart of a kiss. Probably will make more sense after viewing the picture. Edited to add: Fffh, sorry, I forgot it had a mature rating - it's just a kiss, but the artist didn't want to deal with harassment for displaying teh gay to minors. You may highlight to read a description: Benvolio is blindfolded or masked with his eyes closed, Mercutio has a mask pushed up on his forehead - they have obviously just kissed and saliva trails between Benvolio's panting mouth and Mercutio's tongue. Mercutio gazes at Benvolio with sadness despite Benvolio's arm around him.
***
Friends that are more kindly than is wont of our kind, we are masked to unmask ourselves. Though brothers in arms, in hearts, in valor, in the face of ourselves we reveal ourselves as cowards and must thus make us blind upon the way we most unbrotherly besport. I see thee blinded for thy own sake, I touch thee, embrace thee and close kiss thee -- kiss thee unbrotherly, unfriendly. Though you can not mistake me, nor deny my touch, thou art blinded and can again deny in words what close confidence thy heart speaks me silently with thy lips.
