Gravitation
Neptune's Vesuvius (one-shot)
It's almost painful, this feeling; this feeling of utter and complete fullness. As if one more breath would cause something to rupture and explode. It's hot, almost too hot. My skin feels as if it's melting down my bones to pool on the sheets beneath me being soaked in my sweat. His, and mine. Our sweat.
One wouldn't think sweat could give you images of stars and the universe spontaneously combusting in a release of pure pleasure, but his does. Every drop that slashes upon my skin to mix and mesh with mine, causes an eruption of pure unadulterated joy to burst from my gut. Heaven, pure Heaven.
It couldn't possibly be this hot in heaven. No… not heaven. Hell perhaps… No, this sort of pleasure and ecstasy isn't allowed in hell. Earth… yeah, it must be earth. Earth is where I found him; where I found my beautiful flaxen angel. Don't tell God I found him though. God might want him back and I don't want to give him back. Sorry; finder's keepers, loser's weepers. He's mine now and you can't have him back.
Listen to me. If he were to know I thought of him like this he would call me crazy. But I know I'm not. How could a man with kisses to melt your bones and touches to burn your skin not be of some higher power? Of course that's sacrilege, but I'm sure God will understand.
"Ahhh!" Like I said, Heaven, Pure Heaven. I swear, I die every night and am born under the same stars.
It's close. I can feel it, as he can. This is when I'm born. When our eyes meet and his golden orbs burst through mine like warm ice through a sieve. Our lips meet as the eruption envelops our universe. Stars explode, meteors collide, and the sun ruptures into a thousand embers only to be put back together again.
Then all is still. The only sounds are our breathing slowing and our blood humming contentedly. Warmth is spread over us as our hands come together and our fingers intertwine in bliss. The sun is reassembled and new stars are born.
I know my angel and I know he wants to wash our universe away to start fresh tomorrow. Gently I disengage my fingers and tenderly slide over to the edge of the bed. I'm about to place my feet upon to the unforgiving floor when a warm, strong arm wraps possessively around my middle.
"Stay… Stay with me Shu-chan." Eiri murmurs against the back of my neck as he places delicate kisses over my shoulders.
A smile sneaks up to my lips and I let him tenderly pull down once again to the mattress. His arms wrap tightly around me to protect against nightmares and boogie men. A shiver runs down my spine when his breath passes through my hair and my heart flutters.
Only my angel. Only my lover. Only my Eiri.
