Title: The lady's not for burning
Characters: Mayuri/Unohana
Rating: K+
Genre: General
There is danger in the very flutter of his eyelids. Retsu ignores it, or does the best she can at ignoring it, because there is good in everyone, she thinks, hopes, wishes. When her hands curl around his cheek in a please-for-me-just-once beg, she knows the danger in it. But she wants, she wants, she wants, the shape of her name on his lips, pressed against her throat, more a beast than a man. Retsu knows she's selfish as any woman, that she holds the apple within her hands, and tempts danger (Mayuri) and hope (herself) into the far-reaching abyss.
