Title: haunted by lilies

Chapter: lilac

Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to Tite Kubo, not me.


Eyes closed, I pulled her close to me, and the scent of Casablanca Lilies instantly filled my head. Calming my ruffled up senses. Soothing my jumbled up thoughts. Yet, at the same time, intoxicating my whole entire being.

Leaning down to bury my head in the crook of her neck, I nuzzled the soft hair that fell and rested from her petite head to her equally petite shoulders. Taking in a deep breath, I felt at peace, for once since as long as I could remember, with myself.

Emotions rose up within me that I have never felt before, yet seemingly so familiar. Feelings of deep contentment, but also that of longing for...for...for what? I can't and fail to describe take over me completely. It is frustrating yet also satisfying, and I didn't want to let it go. So I pull her closer to me, if it was even possible, within the shelter of my arms. Daring anyone to try and take what I know was rightfully mine.

She gasps softly. Surprised. But it was loud enough to pull me back from my wild imaginings.

For that gasp was not the soft, sweet sound it was in my overactive dreams. And when I opened my eyes, the scent was gone, replaced by my reality of Lilac-perfumed, raven hair. Not auburn.
