Their date was drawing to a close. Azure was feeling warm and sleepy, and wished she could snuggle up to Kyouya who was sitting beside her. His bodyguards sitting in the front seat made her a little uncomfortable though, so she had to be content with just being seated next to him.
The limo was making its way to her house. Kyouya sat silently, punching buttons on his mobile. Azure gazed dreamily outside the window. A bridge came into view, a rippling river running under it.
"STOP!" she called out suddenly.
Kyouya dropped his mobile in surprise and stared at her. Azure grinned sheepishly and said, "Just wanted to…get some air…Can we please stop at the bridge for a few minutes?"
"Only 5 minutes" he said, "We can't be late". He signaled the driver to stop the car, and they both got out. The night was cool, a slight breeze circling them.
"It's so beautiful", sighed Azure, taking in the sparkling river, reflecting the glory of the heavens above.
Kyouya just stood beside her. Azure was too happy to complain about him not holding her hand, or not having any perception whatsoever of beauty.
"Just look at the colour of the water", she said, "It's not black, it's not blue, and it's like studded with diamonds." She paused. "What's your favourite colour, Kyouya?" she asked.
"I don't have favourite colours" he said, smiling. 'I like and dislike them all equally"
"Alright, say you had to become a colour, which one would you choose?" asked Azure, trying a different track.
"Violet. Signifies royalty and power" he replied immediately.
The wind got colder, and Azure stepped closer to him.
"If you had to kill a colour…?"
"Green. Signifies jealousy", came the reply.
The breeze blew in short bursts; her hair rippled up and down, a strand escaping to lightly graze his face.
"If you had to … become friends with a colour?" she asked, lowering her voice.
"Brown. A sensible colour" His voice dropped too.
"If you had to fall in love with a colour…? Azure whispered.
The breeze suddenly died, and the slight swish of the river became prominent.
"You", he said hoarsely. He leaned in and kissed her, soflty, his lips resting for just a moment on hers.
A half-smirk appeared on his face as he pulled away, enjoying the surprised look on Azure's face. She had been torturing him, standing so close, her perfume taunting him, her hair teasing him…
Azure blushed, and moved closer…
"Your 5 minutes are up." Kyouya said, turning around and walking back to the limo, back to punching buttons on his mobile.
Azure stared after him in annoyance. Would strangling a lover still be considered romantic, she wondered.
