Vayne: Bout time I did something along this line. Welcome to Day to Day, where you can leave me a review for the pairing you'd like to see, there will be no polls for this. If you want a particular setup, please explain it in the review or PM me about it. Please specify if you want it to be a lemon or not. Anyway, first up is requested by a forum friend of mine. Another thing is these chapters will be fairly short, probably under a thousand words. I'm not sure. This is probable because this is my backup plan for when I hit a writer block. Anyway, enjoy this little tid-bit!
NOTE: I'm sorry I removed this from my archive, I was sure I was going to give up my writing after what happened, but anyway here it is again. I'm sorry for those who reviewed and had things they wanted to see.
Does She?
Elesis rolled over in her bed, Elsword snoring loudly on the top bunk. She couldn't get the thought out of her head. She sat up in her bed, almost smacking her head on the top bunk. She slowly crept out, and put on a thin, nearly see through jacket over her completely see through night gown, made of black fabric and dark red lace lining it. She picked up a candle from the small cupboard and lit it in the hallway. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't suppress the sigh of joy when she heard that name. Her heart would fly like a bird, her cheeks barely kept the red at bay. Her legs would shiver and her mind would go insane. She couldn't keep her feelings a secret for much longer. She looked up from the floor to realize she had walked onto the balcony. She placed the candle on the table, and sunk into the chair. She looked up to the moon, and sighed as she saw an amazing sight. The brightest stars had formed a familiar face above the moon, and more stars made the moon appear to be a necklace worn by that loved face. She sunk further into the chair, and could stay silent no longer. She looked back to the sky, and as she spoke the name, the memories returned to her.
"Ara..." Her eyes began to close, and she instantly fell into a dream that she was unaware Ara shared this dream with her.
Elesis walked through the forest in the early morning sun. The house was nearly dead, no one really doing anything and Elesis was wondering where Ara had gone to. She had left the house before anyone had woken up, and Elesis had found a path with distinct footprints, assuming it to be Ara. She walked through the trees, pushing low branches out of her way. She stopped suddenly as she heard something. It sounded like a song. 'Is Ara singing?' Elesis had never heard such a serene sound in her life. She moved slower, and laid down on the floor in front of some thick bushes. She made a small hole, and confirmed her suspicion. Ara, swimming in the large, natural pool without any clothes on and making Elesis very hot in the face, was floating in the water on her back. Her soft voice echoed through the large clearing and rung in Elesis's ears. Elesis couldn't believe the song as the words grew clearer. It was a song about her. Ara ended her song, and swam to the shore to get dried off and dress. Embarrassed for spying on her, Elesis fled to the house, making sure Ara didn't notice her. That night Elesis had no sleep. She couldn't believe it. Did Ara feel the same way? She had to know, one day.
"Ara...Do you really love me?" Elesis jumped up slightly and looked at the balcony door. Someone was coming down the hall. The door opened, and Elesis was surprised.
"Oh, hi Elesis. You're up early." It was Ara, her tight night gown clinging to her slender form. She sat down next to her, a smile on her face.
"Hey...couldn't sleep."
"Ah." Ara leaned forward, "Are you okay? You seem tense."
"I...am a little." Ara got up and walked behind her. Before Elesis could ask, she felt Ara place her hands on her shoulders.
"A massage might help." Elesis looked down as Ara began to massage her neck and shoulders, a blush on the proud warrior's face. Ara was confused, "You're getting tenser. Elesis, what is it? Oh!" Elesis rocketed out of her chair and held Ara tightly. It was too much to bear, she had lost control. Ara stared in shock as Elesis pressed their lips tightly together, eagerly sliding her tongue into Ara's mouth and licking her tongue. Elesis stopped and stared at Ara.
"I'm so sorry...I love you Ara, I can't help myself. You lull me in with every word you say, the way you walk puts me in a trance. I can't keep you off my mind." Elesis looked down in shame, and Ara cupped her face and forced her to look at her.
"I was wondering when you'd say it. I love you too Elesis. You're such a strong girl, not needing anyone to watch out for you."
"But...I do. Elsword is always there for me, a wall to lean on." Ara smiled.
"Then let me lend you my spear, to use to stand tall when you begin to fall down. I'll be there for you, always." Elesis began to cry, revealing just how weak she was.
"Thank you...Ara I love you..." Ara smiled, and silenced her with another passionate kiss.
"Me too Elesis. Come on, let's get to bed. Don't you even think I'm letting you sleep without me." Ara said with a wink. She picked up the candle, and she and Elesis walked down the hall to Ara's room. They blew out the candle, and held each other tightly in their arms. They slept peacefully for the first time in a long time.
