"Good night," his voice came over the line for a last time, sweet, low, and serene at having spent the remaining hours of night talking to the object of his affections.
She smiled softly on her end of the line.
"...good night..." She whispered with her hand cupping the telephone's receiver.
In a simultaneous motion, they clicked an end to their conversation, exhausted with deprived sleep yet exhilarated by the swoon-sational topics they had spoken of. Most of their talks centered around the same subject – each other. They spent the night away; talking and laughing, teasing and flirting, consoling and -best of all- loving. Those three words had been spoken in countless tones endlessly and each one held more meaning, more power than the last.
With the phone clutched tight to her chest, she rolled over on her bed and just layed, staring up at the ceiling thinking of him as he thought of her. Her azure hair splayed across her sheets in a wave of silken beauty as his washed across his pillow in an unruly mass. As mirror images would, the two breathed deeply through their noses and out through their opened mouths.
Because every waking moment was meant to be spent with the other in one form or another, they shut their eyes to the world and fell into a deep sleep. Only to be caught in a torrential wave of dreams, flashbacks to times earlier. Ever since she said 'yes', life had been blissful and perfect for the prized soldier, and all too surreal for the high school idol. She had never pictured him to be a romantic, between Kurz, Mao, and unintentionally, Tessa, he had learned well. The two were beyond compatible, though as different as they would appear, and completed the other in a way so perfect – it was unbelievable.
As the dark surge of sleep dwelled over them, a whispered name came from their respective lips.
"Sousuke..."
"Kaname..."
And then, as the early morning rays of pink crept acrosss the sky, the last phrase escaped.
"I love you..."
