Meh...Plot bunny...It ate me. So this is what you get. Note to readers: Discourage me from watching movies that feature a playground scene. Other than that, enjoy~!
Eyelash Kisses
"What's that?" a curious voice asked.
Yuuko looked up from her seat on the swings, large eyes dark and mystifying in a way that would only be described as intensely concentrated. Instinctively, her fingers tightened around the flower stem she held. "A dandelion."
"What's a dandelion?" the boy asked, coking his head. His eyes were dark, too, any thoughts of childish play gone from them at this new discovery.
"A flower with magic. You blow the seeds and make a wish on them."
"That seems kinda stupid," Clow told her, folding his arms across his chest. His thick, burly jacket made that a little harder than it should have; the cold wind buffeted his short hair this way and that while hers did not even sway out of the intricate pile atop her head.
"It's not. It works."
"Can I use it then?"
"No."
"Why not?" he asked, extending his hand to lay palm up.
"Because this wish is mine," Yuuko said, a small smile twirling her lips as she held the fluffy bobble up to her mouth and exhaled sharply, mouth making a perfect 'o' shape. The seeds of the dandelion scattered, picked up by the breeze and carried swiftly across the playground; none of the other children looked up from their games, none of them even payed attention to the two dark haired children by the swing set that craned their necks to watch until the little specks disappeared into the clouds.
"What did you wish for?" Clow asked.
Yuuko shook her head. "I can't tell you?"
"Well, is there any other way to wish?"
She thought for a moment, toes dragging in the slightly damp wood chips underneath her feet. "An eyelash."
"Pull one out?"
"No - it's gotta be stuck to your face like..." The brunette girl ran her finger along the groove over her own cheek bone and pulled it away, a single dark eyelash settled upon a pale finger. "Like this."
"Can I have that one?" Clow asked.
"There's a price."
"What?"
"A price."
His eyebrows knit. "What's that?"
"A kiss. On the cheek."
"...Alright."
"And you have to tell me what your wish is."
"Okay."
Yuuko extended her arm toward his face, the eyelash balancing precariously on the very tip. Clow inhaled deeply, held the breath for a moment, and then blew; the eyelash whipped away, flying past the girls head and up, up, up into the sky. In the same breath, the boy leaned forward and brushed his lips across her pale cheek, withdrawing just as quickly.
"What'd you wish for?"
Clow shrugged, almost appearing to flush. And he murmured something.
"You have to tell me," Yuuko insisted.
"Alright, I guess..." he shuffled his feet in the damp wood, eyeing the ground and refusing to meet her gaze. "I wished for...your payment..."
