The sun peaked over the hills and sent waves of crimson across the awakening sky, and the beautiful silence was suddenly broken by a happy cry of "SUUUGGAAAAR!! MORE SUGAR!!", a flying black panther shooting into view, followed by a frustrated looking crimson-haired woman. Clow looked up from his study, sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose, watching Spinel Sun shoot past the window, still yelling "SUGAR!". 'Well.. Yue had to meet them eventually..' Clow thought to himself with a deep sigh.
"Well, well.. who's this?" Rubi paused in front of Yue's window, watching the angel sleeping, raising an eyebrow, she stepped into the room and smirked. "Clow must've gotten lazy.." Yue mumbled sleepily and opened one eye, yelping in surprise, sitting up straight in bed. "Well, good morning, angel boy.. "
"Who.. who are you?" Yue stammered. Rubi giggled.
"I'm your other half, beautiful.." She ran a finger down Yue's chest. "The other Moon guardian.." Yue shivered and gasped sharply as he felt Rubi grab onto his wings, struggling to squirm out of the grasp, hearing a cold laugh from the other guardian as Rubi turned to leave. "What a pleasure to meet you.." She called over her shoulder.
"What's your name?"
"Rubi Muun.. you must be Yue.. Clow's done nothing but talk about you for weeks.. how he was going to create absolute beauty..Looks like he succeeded, angel boy." She laughed and walked out of the room, leaving a rather confused angel sitting in the bedroom alone. He stood up, flexing his wings, still shuddering faintly at the touch against his wings; he folded them against his back as if to protect himself from any others. Walking down the stairs, he stopped again in front of Clow's study, looking in.
"Aren't you going to have something to eat, master?" He asked softly. Clow looked up, feeling a shiver run through his body as he saw Yue standing there, having dreamt of the angel all night.
"N..not right now, Yue.. Thank you for your concern."
"Are you working on another card?" Yue walked in, leaning over Clow's chair to look at it with a childlike innocence, reading the name aloud. "The..Flower?"
"Yes."
"What does it do?"
Clow scratched his head sheepishly. "It makes flowers." as if to prove it, he tapped the card with his staff, and a single white rose appeared in Yue's hands. Yue blinked and smelled it, smiling, blushing.
"Thank you, master.." He held the rose against his cheek, letting the silken petals caress his skin. Clow shuddered and struggled to keep a tight rein on his emotions.
"Go ahead down and eat, Yue.. I'll be down in a moment." He managed to say, watching Yue leave, he sighed and slammed his fist on the desk. He wouldn't be able to control himself much longer.

I couldn't love him.. but I knew that I did. It was wrong, and if I let myself be with him, the line between master and being would be erased; destroyed forever. What would everyone else think, as well? Yue wouldn't respect me if I was his lover..and if he didn't respect me, Keroberos, Spinel and Rubi wouldn't respect me either.. not that Rubi had much respect for anyone.
I knew that I would only hurt Yue in the future, and I wanted to hurt him as little as possible. By keeping him pushed far from me, he would get over it and be content with a new master in the future.. but if we were lovers..he would spend his whole life mourning.. and I couldn't let that happen. It was for his own good.
