On top of this mountain, the air was so pure and clear that, on the contrary, it was hard to breathe. The grass was nearly black, the night sky an opalescent swath of fabric, and their only lanterns were the glowing bodies of the fireflies. The whole universe was turning in a slow dance; for just a little while, Father Time was allowing himself to be distracted elsewhere, just for them.

Wendy let herself meld together with the earth beneath her shoulders; the cold, dew-sprinkled grass a sharp contrast to Romeo's body covering hers, hot skin on skin, friction slow and sweet. One flicker of light would cast a tempting glow on his shoulder; the next would illuminate his wanton eyes staring into hers, memorizing her equally open and desperate face. Their roaming hands were relatively innocent compared to their bare forms; but alone and far away from the guild, she and her lover had no need to be cautious of interference.

This wasn't a tragic, war-torn love story; but they were young enough that seven years made a real difference. Where he was once three years younger than she, he was now four years older. Even waiting two years after her return was torturous. When he had looked at her, even when young, it would be ridiculous to ask him not to touch her anymore. Despite her 12-year-old body, her existence and birth certificate read as 19; if anyone were supposed to get in trouble, wouldn't it be her?

Not that it mattered. He was doing everything she wanted, and he could do more if he wanted. Desperate for her as he was, he had a tight control on the beast inside; despite their hands exploring freely over their unhidden forms, completely unveiled before each others' eyes, he was stopping there, savoring her. He was worshiping her body, regardless of his worsening need, because is only overwhelming desire was to shower her with all his great affection.

Surroundings disappearing into dark of night, they only had this time to themselves, illuminated by the few late-lingering fireflies.


AN: Because I'm a Romeo x Wendy fan and wanted to tinker. Just ignore me. =v=;
