Play, My Darling
The night was brilliant. White specks of light decorated the sky as the full moon majestically reflected space's light.
The strings and hammers remained still in its massive black frame. The keys did not move. The grand piano sat alone in the ballroom. The window which towered across the wall let the night enter and nothing else.
The boy sat in front of the keys. His hands laid on the bench and his eyes scanned over the keys in silence. His gaze was dim and unfocused.
His midnight eyes moved up to the dark doorway. She stood there in her regal radiance. Her white dress gave her an effect as if she was glowing; like an angel. There was an innocent smile on her rose colored lips. Her amethyst eyes beamed as if she had an interesting thought.
He tilted his head slightly to the right. "How did you find me?"
She smirked as she walked towards him. Her raven locks swayed and her skirt moved to the rhythm of her step. "Even if I were blind, I'd find you." She pulled off the daisy that was tucked behind her ear. She placed it beside his blank music sheets. "What's wrong?"
He sighed. "I don't have a muse. I believe I lost it."
She stood behind him and placed her hands upon his shoulders. "Do not despair Darling."
" 'Darling?' "
"Isn't it your dream that I should call you 'Darling?' "
He nodded. The way the word played on her mouth gave him a very warm and pleasing feeling. Her voice itself was beautiful; like a songbird on an April morning. He placed his hand upon hers. "Why did you come here?"
She slowly pulled her hands away. Her eyes lowered and her face turned sad. "You do not want me here?" she asked, her mouth holding a frown.
He turned to her and grasped her hand. "Of course I want you here...you know that...I was just wondering if you wish to be here too..."
She smiled as she sat beside him on the piano bench. Her fingers gently played with his dark blue tendrils.
The sensation was soothing to him. "You really are here, aren't you? I can hardly believe it. But why..."
And she leaned towards him and kissed his lips. He took in a breath, taking in her sweet vanilla scent. He cupped her jaw with his hands, making their kiss more intimate. She placed her fingers on the back of his neck, pulling him closer. How he loved the taste of her kiss...It was so new, so incredible and so magical.
She gently pulled away from him. Oh, he wanted more of her lips. His fingers brushed her rose lips. "Stay with me..." he pleaded.
Her fingers brushed his blue bangs away from his eyes. Amethysts met sapphires as she held their gaze. He grew lost in her pure eyes. It was breathtaking...she was breathtaking. "I'm always with you..." and she leaned towards his lips once again.
He opened his eyes. The lights were off in the ballroom in which he sat in. Moonlight danced upon the piano he was in front of. He lifted his head off the bench and sat up straight, adjusting his wire-framed glasses to sit correctly on the bridge of his nose. He looked up at his music sheet, which was now filled with notes on the pages' staffs. A daisy laid in front of the papers.
Play, my Darling... her voice sang.
His fingers tapped the keys as he read the notes, filling the dark and silent room with a lullaby.
...fin...
(Note: CCS and its characters don't belong to me. So, I'm sure you can guess who the characters are...duh. Anyway, I know it's short and I don't know if there's going to be a continuation. I was in the mood for an E+T, that's all. I hope you enjoyed.)
