Her head drifted down to meet his shoulder, laying on it as if to rest. And his head met the top of hers. Their once fitful breathing became a steady beat. The tightly clutched hands now hung loosely. They could hear nothing but their own very hearts, beating so fast, but as each minute passed, the former quick adversaries were a second slower. A heartbeat weaker. No words were uttered from her delicate mouth, nor his. They knew enough of what was not needed to be said. But what was happening to them didn't stop the boy from whispering the taboo words into the night. The cherry blossoms were beautiful that night. They fluttered around in the dark wind, creating a torrent of pink. And the moon behind it was breathtaking. Its blinding brilliance, and silvery look made the whole scene permanent in their withering minds. And as the girl's eyes strayed shut, she could still hear the forbidden three words echo into the dangerous world. I love you. She fell into a peaceful sleep, with a soft smile on her gentle face. They both did, under a cherry blossom tree , with a full moon out. They never woke again.
A/N So this is my first fanfiction..well on this site. But I was inspired by a scene in Courtesan (I hope I spelled that right) Arc in Gintama. It was one of the last scenes in that arc of Soyo's uncle ( I think that's what he was) and the old woman under the tree and moon. It was a sweet and sad moment, but once I saw it, this fic was born from my mind! I know the oneshot is pretty short, but it's either long or really short for me. I can never get it just right heh. Well I will be writing more, but until then a demáin! This is me trying to speak French. Maybe I should just stick with English, even though I fail at that too.
