Prologue:
Sweetest Downfall
They lay there entwined by the hands. A calloused ghost of a hand placed underneath the companion's giant leathery one. Both entitled to speak, but the silence spoke better than the words that would be placed onto one another. Both so young; both felt so old. As long as they were together, it would be alright.
His unmoving stare that bore into her sent shivers down her spine and to the uncovered toes, blankets missing her short, bare legs. The desert wind howled as she moved closer to him, clinging to his body for strength. Both had fallen in love. Both had knew they completed one another.
"Hinata," his Adam's apple dipped as he swallowed some uprising saliva; Hands raked through the long tresses of violet hues. "Never leave me." His voice was so cool and unnerved, that if someone did not know him well enough, they would have taken offense to the cruelty. The small girl stared up and shook her head. Shy eyes adoringly looked up into teal reflections.
"Re-remember," she spoke unsteadily, her timid nature taking control. "I loved you first. It...it would be silly to leave you now." Smiling lovingly, she nodded once more into the face of her lover's.
They entwined in more ways than one that night. In the middle of the desert, the sun would rise soon, and they would separate. But until dawn broke, the sight would be seen to no one but the two of them.
The larger of the two slipped a hand around the waist of his partner, his dark rimmed eyes closed as she let her fingers glide through a rustic tuff of copper hair.
"Gaara," she whispered softly. "No ones knows about us now. One day, we will tell them..." The sentence dropped as the sand howled, brewing it's storm as two lovers laid beside each other, sleeping the worries of yesterday, tomorrow and today away.
