"Karasu..I have a question.." Duo said trailing off. The words seemed to take on a life of their own as they echoed in her ears. Her heartrate quickened as her hand toyed absently with her shirt, her eyes rose to meet his. Their anxiety was blatant. Heero and Usagi, unnoticed now, shared a knowing grin as they made their way out of the apartment with a grin.The door closed startling the two as Duo smiled nervously and continued to speak.
"Yeah..about that question.." She nodded in a gesture that was meant to encourage his question.
"Yes..Duo?" The voice, soft an unsure as it was in its intonation was music to his ears. Her soft attempt to encourage him made him smile, genuinely. It was all that he needed to be certain of his question.
" Will you..." His voice was soft, and unsure because the thought that she might reject him came to surface. It was far more devastating than he could have expected from a simple thought. It rendered him nearly speechless. He took a breath and began again, hoping that the question would finally reach her ears as it left his lips. "Will you...come with me to the winter formal?"
Her eyes widened. He drew in a breath fearing the worst. Time passed slowly at this moment. 'He..asked..me..' Her expression softened visibly. Her eyes held an expression of joy, he noted his hopes of her acceptance of the offer rose. He shifted as she moved quickly and embraced him. The getsure came as a surprise as he brought his arms around her.
"Is that a yes?" She nodded and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. He grinned from ear to ear. They lingered in that position relishing the feel of the embrace. Their bodies fit together much like a puzzle, completed finally. Two parts of a whole. Karasu noted this silently, and wondered if he noticed. She'd never felt such a feeling of contentment from a mere embrace. She couldn't help but let herself think..if this was how wonderful a hug felt.. She shook her mind from that train of thought. 'Musn't be so damned perverse.' She chided herself. She felt his breath upon her neck and blushed. He wasn't doing anything to help the direction of her thoughts. She moved her head and found that he was watching her intently. She quirked a brow. He smiled at her. She felt the warmth of his breath upon her lips.
She watched him, her eyes half lidded as he drew nearer. His lips met hers as her eyes closed. Warmth flooded her entire being, a simple kiss leaving her body feeling aflame. She tingled to from her head to her fingertips. Never had she expected such a reaction from this. She felt him draw her closer hand resting upon her back as hers wrapped around his neck. Their closeness did not seem enough to satisfy them, as they continued to move in an effort to be closer. As if that were possible. Physically they were as close as they could be at the moment. He drew away from her as they both opened their eyes and shared a smile. A memory to keep close. A first kiss. Surely, they both were aware of the tension that had formed between them from the beginning. Now it was heightened. Now having had a small taste of each other it would merely be a matter of time before the tension grew again. It was amazing, to have such raw attraction and an emotional attachment at the same time. Both were unnerved by the desire flooding their bodies. Duo in particular was afraid that his feelings would begin to show as she sat down on the couch. Breathing slowly to calm himself, he spoke.
"Well..that was nice." He flashed her a roguish grin. She nodded.
"It was..yep.." She was a bit shy now as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Don't go getting too shy on me. " She looked up. "Although that shade of red is awfully cute on you. "
She sputtered as he laughed softly. The look of affection softening his eyes. Jovile, in truth for once he hugged her growing almost serious.
" You have no idea how happy you make me.." She looked at him wondering what had spurred the sudden statement. Such honesty, such need all evident in a look. The tone of his voice, everything about him spoke volumes to her observing senses. She wanted nothing more than to take him into her arms and shield him from the world's obscenity and pain. 'God..I love him..' She was surprised by the thought. 'So fast to fall in love? Me..in love? ' She yearned to trust him, which she did, but nothing could uproot the fear of doing so. She'd been wounded deeply and she hoped that he'd understand and not take it as something negative. She was still healing. Perhaps that was why she was a bit reluctant to do anything about her forming feelings. Luckily for the sake of whatever relationship would be, Duo had acted. Otherwise, she would have been left with the mere thought of it, too afraid to act upon emotion. The pain of betrayal might fade, but the scars remained, as fresh as the day the wounds were inflicted. It was quite lovely to be trapped within the grasp of misery. Constantly remaining its company, much to the wicked sentiment's delight. Brooding did nothing good, she halted her train of thought. Her mind had been racing as he held her. It seems they were both doing the same. He still smiled, looking at her every so often. It appeared that he was in shock that she had said yes. She wondered why. 'Why would I say no?' Perhaps he had taken into account that she might have had a past with pain. Maybe he could relate? Or he'd spoken to Usagi. 'Eh...I wonder what she told him. '
And in remaining , in the simplistic comforts of an embrace a new relationship had begun.
