The Sky Above
By SMYGO4EVA

The skies were clear blue, almost clear as day when Ryou and Téa were lying on the cool grass in the park of Domino.

Moments of peace like these were hard to come by.

Téa soon looked to her left, noticing that Ryou was staring at her with that faraway look on his face.

"What?" Téa asked. "What is it? Do I have something on my face?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just that…"

"Just what? You can tell me."

"Well…"

"Come on, you can tell me anything."

"It's just that…you are light," Ryou said.

Téa glanced down at herself, a bit confused.

"Uh, well I'm not heavy," she stumbled over her words, "but..."

"No, no," Ryou replied. "You are light. It is a…darn, what is that word again?" He frowned, trying to muster up what word he was looking for.

"Metaphor," Téa answered, smiling.

"Oh that's right!"

"There we go."

"Ah, yes, of course." Ryou sat up and took Téa's hand. "Light," he added. "Like sunshine. You make me happy."

"When skies are gray, right?"

Ryou looked up at the sky above them. "The sky is blue, today," he replied, pointing. "No clouds."

"Yeah." Téa laughed, pulling Ryou close. "No clouds at all."
