Pairing: Ashe/Balthier
Rating: PG
"I do not harbor affection for you." Ashe's voice was as cold as wind that blew through the Paramina rift. It was a lie but there was no other way. Oh, how she wanted to hold him, and pretend that it could work.
"Is that all?" Balthier cocked an eyebrow.
"No, I-" She placed her hand atop his, and sighed. His hand is calloused and rugged, yet decorated with the baubles and jewels he pilfered. Hers was pale and soft, her and her husband's wedding bands still shining upon her fingers.
"Your hands betray your words princess?" Wet lips press against the back of her palm.
The heat rises to her cheeks as she slowly nods.
"Does this mean I get the first dance?"
Ashe smiles coyly, "Perhaps…but call me queen."
Reviews and concrit are both loved.
