Tonight Is Not A Dream

By spheeris1

Pairing: Anthy/Utena

Warnings/Notes: Anthy POV, no angst (well I hope…), sex….if only in my special abstract way

Inspired by Ashanti's 'Rescue Me'

The bud is closed. The lights go out. And the stars are the only witness to our silent walk.

Bare feet upon dew-covered grass, sinking deep.

You tug on my hand, in fear, in anticipation.

But I pull you along.

I listen to your breath shift. I listen to your heart pound.

And I look back at you.

My eyes are not hidden behind wire rims tonight.

And you ask me why.

Why no carefully crafted hair? Why no honorific titles?

I take one finger and touch it to your lips.

Leaving it there….

…letting you settle to the feel of my flesh…

You need to get used to it.

For tonight is not a dream.

~~~

At night, your eyes seem to glow.

Shiny gems of blue, glittering in shock….

…shock at my hands pulling you…

And that

Touch upon

Your slender and pale neck.

How soft the skin.

You whisper and I exhale,

Breathing desire

Into your cold mouth.

You whisper and I slide fingers into your top,

Bringing warmth to your

Chilled body.

You…whisper….

And I kiss my way along

Your torso and hips.

~~~

I see green in your pink locks.

I see green against your ivory skin.

And you whisper and you moan and you shake.

You taste like victory, like love unbounded and unfettered,

Flying on the wings of the night.

You taste like sweat and salt.

You taste like something of the past.

And you whisper…

That I feel like a shadow.

You want to touch me.

And dear God,

How I want you to….

I want you to envelope me,

To devour me,

To possess me…

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid…..

I am yours.

~~~
