Author's Note: This will be the last one-shot couple before I begin my main feature, which will run for several chapters. Unless of course, you make more requests in your reviews…Enjoy! And thanks to those who have submitted reviews! Slight AU here.
"Why not?"
That was the question she had asked him as they found their faces inches apart from one another, on this jagged treacherous mountain, underneath a full moon. He'd claimed he couldn't go through with it. So now she asked him why.
"I...just can't."
"Don't you like me? Don't you care about me?"
"Well, yes, but…I…" He found he could no longer give a good answer. So he just went for it. Their lips touched lightly at first, but gradually with more passion. He gripped her tighter to him as they pressed their lips against one another even more. Finally, they broke it, if only just so they could take in air. He found himself in confusion, and uncertainty. He loved her, he could no longer deny that, but he still held love for the woman he had failed to protect. The one who now resided in the moon. He still thought about her. Still missed her. But she was no longer his, was she? And to be fair, their relationship had never had a chance to begin with. And yet if anything, that only made his love for her stronger. But here was another woman who loved him. Was he going to deny himself this?
He decided that he would not. And so the two kissed again. They were both so full of passion, and now that he had submitted to his desires, there was nothing left to stop him from fully embracing this beautiful girl.
But another figure watched. Watched him, watched the whole world actually, but was now especially focused on him. She focused her sad blue eyes on him and saw as he embraced that other woman. She felt a swirl of emotions, namely hurt. A part of her told her that their romance would never have worked. And it also reminded her that she belonged to the ocean spirit now. If anything, she should have been happy for him that he had now found someone else.
And forgotten about me…
No, that was a lie. He hadn't forgotten about her. He'd just moved on. Found someone else to be with. She couldn't really hold that against him, could she?
And yet, none of this stopped her eyes from filling with water at the sight of those two together, sharing a kiss on the Serpent's Pass…
And she, the Moon Spirit, knew that she would bear witness to their love, every month, for the rest of their lives…
Author's Note: And that's that! Sad huh? Next stop: Jet and June!
