There I was, unable to move or do anything, for the jerk had immobilized me by his freezing powers, and I was so upset, I wanted to go with him, and I told him so and... was stopped by his reminder that he belonged by my side, and before I could object any further, my lips were sealed by his own.
If I had not been frozen already I would have frozen right then and there. I could not believe it.
Chrno was kissing me. That cute little boy turned into frightening attractive demon was kissing me. His hands on my cheeks made me so warm and I wished that the burn would melt this ice that was keeping me away from him. I wanted to wrap my arms around him and kiss him back for all either of us is worth, and because I felt so wonderful, because this was my precious friend whose life I shared for four years, because I did not want to be parted from him… his warmth… the warmth of a demon.
A warmth that left me all too soon.
He pulled away, eyes looking into mine, and I cursed this frozen power he had placed upon me as the tears rained down my cheeks, unable to stop, a torrent of hurt and sorrow clenching in my heart. He wiped away a few of my tears and smiled. I couldn't say anything more. My mouth was dry and parched anyway. But… we had already said everything. We just didn't need words.
Through my pain and tears I was able to smile. I needed to be strong. For Chrno. For myself. For my friend and brother that were running up to me. For life. I still have life, and Chrno would be in it. Of this I did not doubt.
