I'm thinking of changing my covers to look more like This Phoenix of Mine. I think they'll look nicer so I'll work on that before publishing one more story today c:
KingKagura: Hm, you think so? I guess it counts with the rain and all. And of course I liked your idea, it actually helped move the story along cx
My Delicate Darling

Mercury clapped when he finished, "That was beautiful. How long have you played?"
"Since I was a child. My mother," it hurt to speak about her. "Loved the piano and since she could no longer play it, she taught me. I haven't played it in four years."
"Why not?" Mercury asked. Zoisite didn't answer. He wasn't comfortable on the subject. The reason why he learnt was because Zoisite's mother had gone blind when he was five. Zoisite was too young to realize how weaker his mother's vision became until she needed his help.
"You said you wanted to play the piano?" Zoisite dodged her question. "I can teach you if you like."
Mercury's frown lifted, "If you don't mind," she stood and walked over to him. He slid over and the blue beauty sat beside him, beginning their mini-lesson. In fact, Mercury surprised him at how fast of a learner she was.
Almost an hour passed and they stopped their lesson, "Is this the only instrument you know how to play?" Mercury asked glancing at him.
"I used to play the flute. But I'm not as good with as the piano," Zoisite replied. Truth was he horrible at it and gave it up after a few months. He preferred the piano.
"Will you ever play it again? I'll love to hear it."
"I don't think so," he said turning to her. Silence settled in and Zoisite noticed how close they were. Normally, Mercury kept her distant. Taking the opportunity, without much thought, as he had done countless time with other women, he lifted his hand and caressed her cheek. Her eyes widen.
"Zoisite…"
"Has anyone told you how beautiful you are," he murmured brushing his thumb across her cheek and causing her to blush again.
Finally, he makes a move XD I wonder how Mercury's going to react to this besides uh blushing and whatnot. I do have an Ami/Zoisite one-shot in the progress of being written. It's going to be called Encore ;)
