Marimite Drabble: Sei/Youko

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea for the fic. Though I highly recommend the anime Maria-sama ga Miteru to everyone.

Sei had always felt as though she never quite measured up to Youko as a person or a Rose, she like her petite seour, were too far removed from normal people, and seemed above them too, it was at times like this she saw the similarities between herself and Yumi. She didn't know exactly what had prompted her to do so, but Sei pulled Youko towards her and kissed her lips. Youko stiffened waging an internal battle then Sei felt her tense shoulders slack.
As they parted Youko sighed sadly, "Don't use me to hide behind, Sei, my heart couldn't take it."
With that she turned and began to walk away. What had they been talking about anyway?
Sei felt sucker punched, remembering the night Shiori didn't come to the train station, yet Youko and her oneesama appeared, and after that it was Youko who had stood by her side, yet now when she looked back at things she saw that every time Youko had the courage to reach out to her, Sei on the other hand rebuffed her and hide behind her cheeky smiles and the friendship Youko had so effortlessly and easily given her long ago.
Her world almost literally tilted with every step Youko took, Shiori never gave her the chance to change her mind, yet Youko wasn't completely gone yet. With her heart clenching painfully in her chest Sei ran after Youko and embraced her from behind. Again Youko stiffened. The strain on her heart made Sei breath heavily into Youko's hair and her lips sought purchase on Youko's cheek.
"My heart won't take it if you don't feel the same."
It seems as though she's finally catching up to the enigmatic Rosa Chinesis.
