Note: It's really a spur of the moment thing that I wanted to do. I was kind of bored with all of my other multi-chaptered stories (and that doesn't happen very often) and I had an idea in my head. The pairing is yours for the choosing. Just pick two characters and run with it. I'll try to keep it as YAOI/YURI friendly as possible.

The mornings after sometimes suck
I wake up to the feeling of you against my chest. At first, in my delirious state, I don't know what to think of it. You've never stayed with me before now. I look down at my bare chest where your head is haphazardly resting. Your fine hair tickles my neck slightly as I watch your eyelashes shadow your face in slumber.
It's hard for me to think that the angel sleeping next to me is the same one who, just a few hours ago, was giving me this painfully bloody bite on my shoulder. The wound has healed I'm sure, but for future reference, I'd like it if you didn't brand me as your own by breaking skin. It hurts, really, but you don't care.
Sometimes I wonder if you care for me at all. Maybe, I am just a means for you to get laid. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. I tell you I love you and you just brush it off as some mildly hurtful insult. You don't get insulted by it, and you're too mature to retaliate. You say I don't know enough about love to deserve to hear the words. No one deserves them you say.
You contradict yourself an awful lot, you know? Like this morning, which I find to be different from all the others. Why are you here? Why do you sleep soundly with my arms wrapped around you, while on your own you're plagued with nightmares. What effect do I have on you that those torturous dreams would cease? You say you don't love me, but your actions tell a completely different story. I wish you weren't so hard to read.
What happens when the others wake up. We aren't exactly in our rooms right now and some of them don't know how far our relationship has taken us. Some don't know about us at all. What will happen when she finds us here? You haven't told her yet have you? No, I don't think you have.
I feel you stir atop me and I look back down to meet your eyes. I think I was looking into them this same way the first time you backed me into a corner and captured my lips with your own. Your gaze was intense then and mine a frightened one. I'm feeling just as frightened now.
Reaching behind my head you pull out your shirt that I was using for a pillow. My skull falls to the ground with a sickening crack that you don't hear, and a cool rush of air replaces the empty spot on my chest as you stand up. I hear you get dressed and I sit up then.
"Good morning." I say softly. You don't speak, you don't even acknowledge me. As you turn to leave me lying on the ground I speak once more, "I love you." I say, hoping for the off chance that you won't hear me.
You turn then though and stare strait into my eyes. Your piercing, steady watch is enough to send me shrinking away from you forever. "Don't say such fickle things." You say. "They are never the truth." With that you leave me to my own tears and thoughts of a better you. I would only change one thing, the mornings after.
Note: this was really a bit of a challenge for me. It was really hard to not reveal who the pairing was in my head. Did I achieve my goal? Did you like it? I hope so... Oh, and for those who are wondering, I should have another chapter up in Deeper by the end of next week. I promise. And for those who haven't read it, you should.
Love and be loved
Ayumi
