AN: I don't usually do well with song-fics, and I'm not sure that this is the exception that proves the rule. This is horribly sappy, but I think it gives a bit of insight into how far they've come since "My Resolution." Day 14 - Theme - "Forgiven" by Within Temptation. Obviously, I don't own SM or the song!
Also, I feel like I should say that I like Hotaru! I just found the idea of the Senshi of Silence not being able to keep a secret intriguing.

Zoi had been surprised when Ami had given her the key to her apartment. That was definitely unlike her, especially as they'd only been going out for a month, though the blush that graced her cheek as she did so was very much his beloved Nymph. When he had asked her if she was sure, she had nodded, "It took me too long to get her. I'm sure." The smile she gave as she looked up at him, shy but sincere, special just for him had made him feel alive, more than he had since being restored.
Now as he stood outside of her door, he was uncertain. He knew the key meant that he could come over whenever he liked, but he also knew how much his Mercurian enjoyed her privacy. Would she really appreciate him just showing up without any warning?
He shook his head slightly. "That's why she gave you the key." Besides he had brought her a bouquet of larkspur, delphinium, a blue flower that made him think of her.
Decided, Zoi let himself into her apartment, and was immediately struck by the music that he heard. The music was harp, though to his practiced ear he knew it was not written for the harp. It was haunting, but less so than the voice that sang with the music.
He started moving, looking for the source of the music, and when he to Ami's bedroom and saw her playing, singing, he stopped, frozen by the sight, the music, and as he listened, the words she sang.
"I've been so lost since you've gone. Why not me before you? Why did fate deceive me? Everything turned out so wrong. Why did you leave me in silence?"
Zoi felt his heart catch. The hand holding the bouquet of flowers fell by his sand, the bouquet being held limply.
"You gave up the fight; you left me behind." Zoi closed his eyes and started to turn around when he heard the next words, "All that's done's forgiven." He stopped and his head jerked up as he looked up at her again. She'd opened her eyes, saw him standing there and she continued, "You'll always be mine. I know deep inside. All that's done forgiven."
