RaeLyn: Hiya! I am back with another story. This is a little story that wouldn't leave me. SO...on to the story! Pairing: YaoxIvan or ChinaxRussia

Stay with me, Forever!

Your lips brush mine softly. This sadness still lingers. I look at you and realize that you are not staying. Why am I not surprised. I could never stay before and now, I guess, it's your turn to leave.

If you know how much your leaving hurts, would you stay? Somehow, I can only see your back and you haven't even gone anywhere. Please. Please, can you hear me? Can you feel my pain? The cold that permeates my skin and wraps itself around my heart. Of course, I'll smile for you...I'll always smile for you.

For this moment, I can hold you and pretend that you will stay. Your hands hold my face and I do nothing but get lost in your eyes. Your eyes crinkle slightly in the corners and I can tell that a rare smile has graced your face. I, too, feel a smile answering yours. These moments are ours and ours alone.

For you and you alone, I will bend. I will go outside of my perimeters to give in to your will. I do not believe in compromise, but, for you, I will change my very being and become someone I have never been. Can you tell?

Your naked body floats above mine. Your silken hair tickles and your lips leave butterflies in their wake. My skin becomes ultra sensitive awaiting your next touch. When you are not here, I crave you, my body aches for you.

My legs lift and slowly you enter into my sanctuary. I allow you to invade my soul and read my heart in my eyes. My body is an instrument that only you can play. My lips part and the music we make fall all around us. My body bows tightly and I can tell, as you began to crescendo, that the end is near.

These beautiful sounds cannot be mine with anyone else but you. Can you feel this too? Can you go and make such a sweet symphony, in the dead of winter, with anyone else? Please, tell me I am the only one.

Your final staccato alerts me to the end. My finale came and went but watching your face brings me to new heights. So silently, I watch the music play across your face and feel it vibrate throughout your body.

This clod claims my body and infiltrates my soul as we, again, are two separate beings. Tonight, I will lay in your arms...but tomorrow, I can tell, you plan to leave me. Only, it will not work that way. Tomorrow, we will be one forever, Yao, because I love you and only you...

Arthur looked down at his friends and turned away to buried his face in Alfred's shoulder. They looked peaceful, well, if not for the bullet holes and blood.

~FIN!
