A/N: I got bored...
Unequivocal
Nothing can compare to the softness of her lips, the way they crack the tiniest smile in the pale moonlight. Kissing the nape of my neck she offers such sweet bliss. Her voice is like a melody as she giggles into my shoulder.
"Rei, that tickles."
Well, I would hope so...that is the point, but, I ease up the assault of her ribs.
It's a particularly sensitive spot, and instead, I raise my hands to rest them upon her back, pressing her to me fully. In this, I feel complete, because she is such a perfect companion in which to spend a long night. She runs her fingers through my hair, a passing thought niggling at her. In spite of myself, I see glimmering in blue eyes.
"You're doing it again. What are you up to." I murmur, kissing her exposed wrists when the opportunity arises.
"If I listen to you, I'm always up to something." Usagi sighed at length, I have no way of knowing of the sigh was one of contentment, or of something unpleasant. She's good at making herself conflicted when it comes right down to the emotions at war within her.
"Maybe you are." I shrug, reminding myself that our current position is one that's both strange and new. "We don't have to do this." Honestly, I'm a little out of sorts too. "I mean, if you don't want to, then I fully-" She cuts me off, a thumb pressed to my lips.
I kiss it, because I know that if she wants me to be quiet, she must have a good reason for it. Even still, I hold her more securely, one of my hands reaching up into her long tendrils of golden hair. For a few long moments, she says nothing as she rests her head on my shoulder once more.
"It's okay either way." Usagi's breath skitters across my neck as she says it, and I feel my own unease return. "I enjoy this too." She continues, as if somehow reading my mind.
As her words wash over me, I must admit I feel a pang of relief, followed by one of yearning as she places another kiss at the base of my neck. "This isn't really enough, is it?" Part of me, baser and primal, wants to take the one thing that that I know doesn't belong to me. "The way we are now…" I avert my gaze, I don't want to think about it. "It's not meant to be like this, is it?"
She knows what I'm asking, in spite of those tested limits, she agrees. "No, Rei it isn't…but, that doesn't force us to think of our time together as a bad thing."
I like the sound of that, even if I know that she's saying it for me. Maybe, she's saying it for herself too, but I doubt it. Usagi isn't that greedy. I want to feel her warmth forever, and I wish that day would never break across the sky. We aren't so lucky, but it is an idle wish that I cling onto.
