His eyes swept over the dark room. He was searching for something-some*one*. He didn't know why he felt the way he did…but he did. And he wanted to find him…to make him understand…to make himself understand.

            His eyes continued searching, probing into the hidden depths of the room.

Please love let's make no impartial vow

Let all fall away

That's not crucial now

            His eyes alit on something in the darkness…their game of hide-and-seek was over. Walking towards the figure, he whispered his name.

            The man turned. His eyes lit up as he recognized him.

            Neither one knew exactly what happened but somehow they doing exactly what they're promised not to do.

I want a brave love, one that makes me weak in the knees

I want a crazy, crazy love

One that makes me come undone at the seams

            Their lips pressed together again and again, hands fumbling as they sought to remove their needless clothing, anxious to feel their skin rubbing sensuously against the others. Their breathing was heavy, their soft sounds of need, want, and pleasure filled the room.

Cause I'm tired of all these pilgrims, these puritans, these thieves

Of all these unbelievers who whittle love down at the knees

Let these swift roads destroy themselves

Let the world fall into its sleep

For we shall be spared

            As the last sounds of their love-making died away, they separated, scrambling away from each other, trying to, wanting to understand.

            Neither one could explain what had happened. The only words they could find was a clumsily muttered apology that neither one meant.

            They had wanted it.

            Sought it.

            And did not regret it.

We shall be left standing

To face what's left of concrete and honey

Kiss the flame

Let's run with the hunted the untamed

Kiss the flame

Embrace the faceless, the unnamed

Kiss the flame

            Their eyes glowed at each other in the darkness. There was nothing left for them here.

            They had done what they'd sworn they would never do.

            They had done it shamelessly, without remorse they had fallen to the ground, joining together and not regretting any of it.

            And now…they must leave.

            There was nothing left for them.

There are nightmares on the sidewalks

There are jokes on TV

There are people selling thoughtlessness

With such casualty

            They did not need each other. There moment of passion was gone, only a lingering memory, soft and faded around the edges. They had to leave...both of them had someone waiting for them, needing them, wanting them.

            They gazed at each other. Both knew what they had to do, and yet neither turned, wanting this moment to last forever.

But wherefore art thou Romeo

Where have all the brave men gone

Show me one man who knows his own heart

To him I shall belong

            At last, he whispered, "Good bye."

            As he started out of the room where the scent of their lovemaking still lay heavy in the air, he heard his lover for the night call.

            "Wufei…I love you…"

Kiss the flame

Let's run with hunted, the untamed

Kiss the flame

Embrace the faceless, the untamed

Kiss the flame

Kiss the flame

Kiss the flame

            He stopped upon hearing the words torn so desperately from his lover's lips. Turning, he ran the few steps back to him and embraced him, pressing his lips recklessly along his face.

            After a long moment they let go of each other. They might love each other…but they already had commitments made to others neither one wanted to leave yet.

            As his lover quietly slipped away, Wufei called into the darkness. "I love you…Quatre."

Please love let's make no impartial vows
