A Wish Within a Dream

A/N: This was originally supposed to be for the summer contest for mediaminer, but it obviously wasn't finished in time nor did it have enough words, so yeah. Not sure if I'll continue this or not, but I'll decide that later. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: All standard disclaimers apply. Sadly, I don't own PSOH, but think of what would happen if I did…

A dream. It was always just a dream. Never a reality. It could never happen. Not in this life or the next.

They were always the same. D walking alone on a sandy beach. A crimson sunset reflected in the ocean's tide. Hermit crabs scuttling over grainy sand, inspecting seashells for possible shelter.

D would walk along the shore, watching as time slowly faded away and sunset turned into twilight. Strong arms would envelope him from behind. Blonde hair mixed with ebony. Soft lips on a porcelain neck. Words whispered into the wind. "I long to… no, need to… be in your eternal embrace."

And then he would wake. He'd once again wake alone in the darkness of his bedroom. Tears would well up in his eyes, never quite falling, as he was again reminded of the one he could never have. The one he could never be close to. Never closer than on opposite sides of a coffee table.

As all this passes through his mind, D crawls out of bed, lighting a candle as he sat on the window sill. He gazes up at the full moon, wondering if the one who haunts his dreams was still awake. Wondering if he ever dreamt of him.

Leon Orcot jolted awake from his sleep. It was that damn dream again. That blasted, god-forsaken dream that haunted him every night. It was always the same. He would be walking along the coast of the beach, a blood red sunset off in the distance. And then he saw D, back facing him. Leon would walk towards him, yet it always seemed like it took an eternity as sunset slowly turned into twilight. He would take D in his arms, always surprising the androgynous asian, holding him as close as he could, placing a line of kisses down that pale neck. The words "I long to… no, need to… be in your eternal embrace" were echoed into the wind.

When the dreams had first started, that was when he'd wake up. Now, however, that dream continued. D spinning around and capturing Leon's lips with his own. Impossibly long fingernails entangling themselves in a golden mane. Two bodies falling to the sand. The sounds of their moans and screams ringing through the night.

Leon shook himself, refusing to remember any more of that nightmare. Getting up, he walked to the bathroom, splashing his face with icy water. He walked back towards the bed, stopping to open his window. He leaned his head out to watch the full moon hanging over head, taking in a breath of the crisp night air. 'I wonder… I wonder what D is doing right now…"

Leon scowled, snapping the window shut as once again the image of his lips on D's burned in his mind.

A/N: Shorter than what I usually do, but it's pretty good, I guess. As always, reviews are always much appreciated. Until next time, loves…
