Back already! I've been milling over this/these idea(s) for a while now…
This will be a series of one-shots, possibly a few two-shots, about random couples from the series (includes: show, manga, novel) and a few other characters, some might not have pairings. A few might be set in the past or during the show, but most of these will be set, in present day. See profile for further explanation.
Here's a list of parings I'll be using, most will be SayaxHagi or LuluxRiku, but But the possibility of other pairings exist.
And if you read my other story, 'Gone', then you already know about my habit of using Japanese songs for titles, I'll be sticking with that in this series. Every now and then I will also probably be using some English songs for titles if need be, genres ranging anywhere from Rock to Pop to Country or whatever fit's the plot for that chapter.
The series title comes from the NEWS song 'Koi no ABO'. It means 'Love's ABO'. ABO is referring to blood types so it could also loosely mean 'Love's Blood type'. Goes with the romance themes and the show! Double whammy!^^
Chapter title comes from Hitomi Takahashi's song 'Jet Boy Jet Girl'.
Chapter 1: Jet Boy Jet Girl
Summary: Saya wishes she could fly.
Saya always loved the beach. Especially at night. Sometimes, late at night, she and Hagi would sneak out and go for moonlit walks on the sandy shore. It was always so peaceful at night. And they were always alone.
Tonight was no exception.
Side by side they sat in the sand. Hands clasped between them, their fingers laced. Watching the light of the full moon dancing on the dark water.
Hagi wasn't aware that anything was wrong until heard a faint sigh below his shoulder and the warmth in his hand was suddenly taken away. He looked down in surprise at the woman on his left.
Saya was sitting hunkered over, knees pulled up to rest her folded arms, her head was bent down so her long hair fell forward like a curtain, hiding her lovely face.
He reached towards her with his hand, still stinging from missing hers, and pulled the long black strands away. "Saya? What's the matter?"
Her cheeks were puffed out in a pout. Eyes locked strait ahead. She huffed slightly.
"What's wrong?" he asked again, he moved before her, crouched on his knees.
She averted her eyes, but not before catching a glimpse of his worried blue-grey ones, and pursed her lips. That single glance whittled away most of her stubbornness.
"Whatever I did to upset you, love, know that I am sorry." The worry in his voice killed the rest of it.
She looked up at him with frantic eyes. "You didn't do anything, Hagi! What makes you think that?"
"You are angry with me." He sat back on his legs, his fingers brushing against the bare skin of her leg.
"I'm not mad at you." She looked down, her chin fell to her crossed arms. "I'm just a bit miffed that's all."
"About what?"
"Nothing. It's silly." She mumbled.
Hagi placed both of his soft palms on either side of her face and lifted it up until she was looking at him. "Saya… nothing you say is 'silly'." His serious look told her he meant it. "Now please tell me what it is that is bothering you."
She couldn't resist that face. His eyes. They always made her want to say what she was thinking.
"I want to fly." Her face was flushed.
That caught him off guard. "What?"
"You can fly. You have wings. I wish I could fly, too. It looks so fun. Up in the air, the wind in your hair. I bet it would be wonderful to fly."
"I have taken you into the air before…"
She shook her head. "That's different. Then we were fighting. It was necessary and I wasn't paying attention then. I want to fly for the enjoyment of it."
He looked at her for a moment. Then he stood up and began unbuttoning his shirt.
"What are you doing?" Voice full of surprise.
"You wish to fly. I will give you what you wish."
"But your wing…" She remembered it had been severely damaged by Amshel in their fight at the MET.
"It is healed." His calm reply soothed her before. However when his shirt crumpled to the ground her face flooded with color.
She was distracted at the sight of his bare chest. Their relationship had long since passed the level of being modest around each other, she had already seen everything. But the sight of him in any state of undress still caused her heart to race and her stomach to flutter.
She was saved when two black wings protruded from his back. She was intrigued by them. She stood and unconsciously walked towards him. Her hand reaching out to gently caress the leathery skin. He stiffened at her touch and she was sure she heard him sigh.
She looked up at him. "I'm not afraid of you, you know?"
"I know."
"No. I mean, I wasn't afraid of you. Back then. That day at the Zoo."
"Saya… you do not have to say such things for my sake. I know I frightened you back then."
Her shaking head silenced him. "I wasn't afraid of you. I… was upset." He opened his mouth to comment but she pressed her finger to his lips. "I was upset with myself. For what I had done to you. What I had made you become. I… Never, never in my life have I ever been afraid of you, Hagi. Never think that I have."
His lips turned up into a smile. He walked around behind her and placed his large hands on her waist.
Suddenly she was in the air. Looking down at the water. The feeling was better than she imagined. She spread her arms out like a bird and closed her eyes.
She lost track of time. She had no idea how long they had been in the air. But she got an idea. This would be fun.
A mischievous grin crossed her face. She opened her eyes and placed her hands atop his. Grasping his fingers she pried them away from her hips bringing them out to the sides like she had previously. Then she pushed herself out and away from him, escaping his reach.
She fell. The rush felt wonderful. Air whipping her long hair all around. The whooshing in her ears. The water was getting closer.
A strong pair of arms wrapped around her thin frame, halting her decent. She looked up at him with a grin.
His angry face made her laugh. "That was not funny, Saya."
She giggled. "I knew you would catch me."
He didn't look thrilled at her assumption, even if it was correct.
"Don't be mad. I was only playing."
He sighed. Her hand came to rest on his cheek. Pulling his face down to hers, she kissed his lips softly.
When she pulled back she said, "I'm sorry."
"I am not angry."
"Can we stay like this?" She asked quietly.
He gave her a gentle smile, "For as long as you like."
She smiled and wrapped her thin arms around his neck. He released her knees and let her body extend down to press fully against his and wrapped his arms around her waist securely.
He decended lower, down to the still water, their feet barely above the surface. He began to sway slightly, almost as if they were dancing. Strong, black wings flapping once in a while to keep them in the air.
She whispered against his neck, "I love you, Hagi."
"And I love you, Saya." He whispered back, pressing his face into her hair.
She brought one arm down and pulled his hand from her waist again. But this time she intertwined their fingers. He kept his other arm tightly in place.
"Hagi?"
"Hm?"
"Don't ever let me go."
A/N: I love this^^
Hope you enjoyed it!
