The blackest of night has gone, fleeing the new day. White blinds remain helpless against sunlight streaming through the cracks. A soft light paints the room gold. Its glow casts the spell of morning, rousing a man with its magic….
-Domon POV-
A warmth I've never known, I can feel. It's more than blankets and sheets. It's living warmth.
It's alive… breathing… and not my own.
Rising and falling.
It's a melody of life, loving my ears with its simple sound.
I rise and fall with it.
A scent of flowers, those sweet and fresh on a summer's day, bind my senses. I want it to linger in my soul forever.
…I know it will.
And suddenly, I need to see - to know, this is real. Not an illusion.
Hesitantly, my eyelids rise.
And she is sight.
Is it possible for someone to be more beautiful than you remember? I remind myself to breathe. Slowly, I reach for her… my rough and calloused fingers against her soft skin.
Is it a sin?
I couldn't be worthy of this. I was a fighter. But, she made me a lover.
She made me more than I thought I could be.
Gently, she stirs with a small smile on her lips, but sleep draws her in again, letting her dream of all things sweet.
Was she dreaming of me?
I smirk.
She had to be.
My fingers drown in russet silk, memorizing their feel. I press my lips to her brow; and she awakens, radiant blue opening to the world… and to me.
I could get used to this.
She secures my idle hand and places hers on top, folding her fingers over mine.
Rings of metal -- never-ending circles -- find each other.
This is real.
She's my Rain.
Rain Kasshu.
