Pairing: Yuuki/Zero
Their masks touched, lips meeting in an intimate embrace.
Auburn and amethyst… Two very different colored eyes connected, each gaze locked onto the other's face as they kissed.
He could hear her racing heart, could feel the warmth of her skin touching his, she felt real, not like some vestige conjured to torture his mind.
Had it really been a year and a half since he had last kissed her? No, this was not the same Yuki, even if she was quite similar to the one who had died.
His first kiss to her paled in comparison to this. The first had been stiff and unyielding, at least, on her part. He had felt her confusion then, had kissed the ashes of the precious angel who had saved him years ago.
Now, while he could sense some confusion, he could feel a warm response, could feel her saying something back to the question his lips formed against hers.
For what seemed like an eternity, he and she stood there, just kissing, just reuniting in a way that neither had expected to happen again. Then, he heard a whoosh of air, and felt the dark aura of the one who had changed his life forever- and not exactly in a good way.
Their masks fell, and the curtain closed over the brief kiss he and Yuuki had shared.
Author's note: Blech, this was god-awful. Too many cliched or corny phrases, choppy. Eh, I know the genre I won't be attempting anytime soon again, I will leave the romance and additional drama to Matsuri Hino.
