| 4 Her hands felt like the warm summer breeze on my cheeks. "You can’t | |
| 5 love me." She said it like a rule; a law. Somewhere, it had been written that I | |
| 6 would not, could not feel this emotion that ran deep inside my veins alongside my | |
| 7 blood. | |
| 8 "I do!" I wanted to shout at her, but it came out as only a whisper. I was | |
| 9 so afraid, yet so contented just to be with her. "I love you"... | |
| 10 "But you can’t!" She was able to shout out me. She pulled me closer to | |
| 11 her face, her sweet breath like dark purple irises on my lips. "You’re... you are | |
| 12 everything I can not be. You’re...so pure...so utterly pure." She closed her eyes | |
| 13 and bent her head, as if to avoid staring back into mine. "I can never be what | |
| 14 you deserve." | |
| 15 My heart felt like it would sink down in my chest or rise above it at any | |
| 16 moment. Couldn’t she see? Couldn’t she open her eyes and her heart? "I don’t | |
| 17 know what I deserve"but you’re what I want. You’re everything I could ever | |
| 18 want and you’re what I need." She was shaking, her hands were shaking on my | |
| 19 cheeks. The breeze was faltering. "Hotaru-chan, please," I touched her chin | |
| 20 gently. | |
| 21 She looked up at me once again, tears trickling down her pale cheeks in | |
| 22 small rivers of diamond tears. "Oh Chibi-Usa," her lips shook out the words. | |
| 23 "How could you want me?" I wiped the tears gently from her cheeks. "I’m...the | |
| 24 darkness"and you’re the light. You are life and I am death." She looked down | |
| 25 at her knees again. "How could you love me?" | |
| 26 "You’re wrong, Hotaru-chan!" I could feel my heart rising higher, into my | |
| 27 breasts and hands and feet, spreading inside of me. "You may be death, but you | |
| 28 are also rebirth. You begin life, starting anew in a cycle that I have yet to | |
| 29 understand." I leaned close into her face, wanting to feel her iris breath again. | |
| 30 "You are everything I could ever want, Hotaru-chan. You are beauty in the | |
| 31 darkness. You are my light." Her lips were so close to mine. "How could I not | |
| 32 want you?" | |
| 33 Her face flushed, pale cheeks that never seemed to tan turning a light | |
| 34 crimson. "Don’t say that, please don’t say that…" | |
| 35 And, suddenly, it didn’t seem to matter to her what she had shouted | |
| 36 before. When I leaned in just enough to feel her soft, full lips upon mine…well, | |
| 37 that was the end of everything and the beginning of something completely new. I | |
| 38 could feel her hands at the base of my neck, tugging at the ends of my hair. I | |
| 39 couldn’t stop myself from touching her pale arms, letting my hands meander up | |
| 40 to her shoulders and down her back. She was so warm, so soft, like sheets of | |
| 41 silk left out in the sun. I felt her lips pull away slightly from mine, and I moved | |
| 42 away a bit, just enough to end the kiss but still to feel her warmth. She sighed | |
| 43 heavily onto my cheek and rested her head on my shoulder. | |
| 44 "Chibi-Usa," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "We can’t be | |
| 45 together like this." | |
| 46 "What do you mean?" I nuzzled my head on top of hers, catching the | |
| 47 scent of her hair. Lilacs. I smiled. | |
| 48 "We can’t be…be lovers." She moved slightly, her voice slightly softer. | |
| 49 "You’re to become Princess of Crystal Tokyo in the future. You are going to | |
| 50 inherit a crown. You can’t…be with me…" | |
| 51 "Hotaru-chan." I felt that warm, rose colored feeling rise in my chest once | |
| 52 again. Sparks could fly off of my fingertips. Mountains would crumple at my very | |
| 53 whim…or at hers. I could do anything with this feeling. I could do anything with | |
| 54 her. "I want you, I need you. I love you. All that I ask of you is that you give me | |
| 55 a chance, you give us a chance." She sobbed lightly into the curve of my neck. | |
| 56 "Please, Hotaru-chan…the future isn’t unchangeable. Just me coming to the | |
| 57 past all these times has changed it." | |
| 58 "But…" | |
| 59 "Hush, Hotaru-chan." I cradled her head close to mine. I smiled slightly. | |
| 60 "Normally, I’m the one crying to you." We both chuckled a bit. "Hotaru-chan, I | |
| 61 just want you to…to let me love you. Just for awhile." | |
| 62 "But don’t you see? Can’t you see that if I let you then – " | |
| 63 "Then what?" | |
| 64 She paused, moving away from me and wiping her tears. "Chibi- | |
| 65 Usa…this can’t work." | |
| 66 "No, what would happen?" | |
| 67 "Don’t you see, it can’t work, because – " | |
| 68 "No, don’t ignore me." I pulled her closer once again. "What would | |
| 69 happen if you and I became a couple?" | |
| 70 She was quiet, just staring back into my eyes and quivering a bit in my | |
| 71 arms. She didn’t even seem to breathe. Her lovely, thin frame rest so close to | |
| 72 mine on the floor of her dimly lit room. Pale hands and feet seemed even paler | |
| 73 in comparison to her dark clothes. My little black angel. "I can’t tell you…not | |
| 74 now…" | |
| 75 "What is it, Hotaru-chan?" I pulled her onto my knees. "I’ve told you a | |
| 76 secret I’ve kept from you for awhile now. Why can’t you tell me?" | |
| 77 She swallowed audibly. "I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember. | |
| 78 Since I first met you, Chibi-Usa. And if we are together, and I let myself love | |
| 79 you…it’ll just be like everyone else. I don’t want you to leave…to go away like | |
| 80 everyone I’ve loved…" | |
| 81 "I could never go away from you." I couldn’t feel anything for a minute. It | |
| 82 was like my heart stopped beating in my chest. My veins continued only to pump | |
| 83 the crimson feeling of love I felt for her. And then, whenever my heart decided to | |
| 84 start up again, I was kissing her. It was with a kind of fierceness that she kissed | |
| 85 me back. Her small caresses and fierce kisses and explorations made me weak | |
| 86 in my knees. | |
| 87 The silver and golden rays of sunlight drifted into Hotaru’s room. I just lay | |
| 88 there for awhile, surrounded by her sweet scent and wrapped in her arms. The | |
| 89 shadows of tree leaves left dark spots across her blanket and bare midriff. I | |
| 90 couldn’t help but stare at her. God, she was beautiful. Lying there like that. Her | |
| 91 hair a bit messed up, strands sprawled out behind her head on her pillow. Her | |
| 92 eyes were closed, but I knew them with just a memory. Dark purple, almost | |
| 93 black, deep as any ocean but clear as a sunny sky. How could one human being | |
| 94 be so perfect, so utterly beautiful in every way? How could someone like her | |
| 95 love someone like me? | |
| 96 I kissed her shoulders, just for the feeling of her silken skin on my lips. | |
| 97 There was nothing more I wanted in the world than to be there with her, lying in | |
| 98 her comfortable bed, bathed in the strong light of the sun or the pale, comforting | |
| 99 light of the moon. There was no other place that could soothe me like this. Her | |
| 100 arms were my only shelter, her lips my only release. | |
| 101 She stirred a bit, her muscles moving slightly underneath my lips and | |
| 102 hands. I rested my head by her breast, loving the sound of her heart beating | |
| 103 beneath my ears. Her breathing relaxed me…deep and smooth and soft all at | |
| 104 once. I closed my eyes, just loving the feel of her beside me, underneath me, all | |
| 105 around me. |
