*~~* Songbirds *~~*
Never had they been this close, and once again they couldn't hope to explain how wonderful the simplicity was. They laid atop blankets of leaves, resting on a ground painted with shades of orange and yellow. It felt like an eternity of nothing, but at the same time, an eternity of paradise. KOS-MOS remained still, she didn't move at all. Her eyes were closed, so she wouldn't have to blink. She just lay on his chest in her sleep-like state. Only chaos moved, but barely. He traced his fingers up her back, and through her hair. He never wanted this moment to end, and deep down inside, KOS-MOS knew she wanted this one moment to be her whole lifetime... it wasn't like her life was going to have that many surprises or accomplishments, if any at all.
It was times like this chaos could consider their future. The fantasy was appealing, the reality only hurt. Of course, people's fantasies were their view of a perfect life. They were flawless, they would capture a person's every desire and fulfill it.
Fantasies only obscure the horrible truth. They were the empty hopes and dreams chaos used to shake off his painful reality. Hollow promises he made to himself to delay the inevitable pain for a little while longer... He had to stop kidding himself.
He wasn't going to shower her with jewelry, flowers, and sweets on their dates. He wasn't going to feed her cake and sweet red wine on their wedding day. A name wasn't going to roll off his tongue the moment he looked into the eyes of their firstborn child.
He imagined kissing her goodnight on their first date, lifting up the veil that hid her face while she walked down the aisle, and holding their child (he pictured a daughter for some reason or another) just up from the floor, almost ready to take her first steps.
chaos closed his eyes and let the autumn breeze wash over him, letting fact and truth take him over again. Sighing, he kissed the top of his beloved's head. KOS-MOS' slowly opened her eyes and looked up to him. His voice had the same tone as an apology, "I have to get back to the Elsa."
He stood up and, once again, offered his hand to lift her up. And, just like the last time, she rejected the offer and got up by herself. She looked back at the birds, still singing joyfully and flying from branch to branch, "chaos," she said, almost whispering. He turned to her, and paid close attention to whatever she was going to say next, "I'd like to request to return here sometime in the near future."
She finished her statement almost silently, "I'd prefer if at the time you accompany me."
chaos stood directly in front of her and traced his fingers down the side of her face. He rested his hand on her cheek and pulled her into another long, sweet kiss. His ran traced down her arm, the cold metals, the soft fabrics, and, to his satisfaction, the smooth skin of her fingers. He wrapped his fingers around hers, and to his surprise, and joy, she did the same, almost simultaneously.
As their lips parted, chaos' eyes opened almost instantly. KOS-MOS always kept her eyes closed for awhile after they kissed, it was if she always expected more. He absoloutely adored that tranquil, calm look upon her face. When she finally opened her eyes, as she looked at him, it didn't feel like she was giving him that blank stare she kept constantly since he'd first seen her.
"Of course," he replied as he kissed her one last time before returning to the Elsa.
The songbirds sung overhead, the cerulean-haired weapon and the aquamarine-eyed angel the inspiration for their next masterpiece.
*~~*
KOS-MOS and chaos walked down the streets of one of the city's shopping districts, slowly, but keeping a quick enough pace to make it back on time. With his hand around her shoulder, they got many stares from the pedestrians, and mumbles from people who recognized KOS-MOS as "Vector's Ultimate Battle Weapon." Even though it seemed like chaos could hear some of these mumbles clear as day, not even once did they make him think of moving his arm from her shoulder.
But... it was one of the very few things that ever got on his nerves. He felt like pushing her against one of these store windows and devouring her mouth right then and there, tongue and all. That'd shut them up. But, of course, he could never bring himself up to do that to her, and after everyone got over the shock and shutting up, it'd be all they talked about.
chaos just held her closer, more protectively it seemed. He just wanted to get away from all those people walking by, even for just a few minutes. He looked through the shop windows, and would go into the first one he saw with the fewest people. The first one he saw only had the owner in it, so he immediately rushed in without knowing anything about the store.
The red-headed girl at the counter, cheerful at the first glance of her, smiled at the both of them, "Hi, can I help you?"
"No, it's okay, we're just..." he paused to take a quick look through the store, lasting longer than he had planned, "... looking."
The red-head must've said something back, but chaos, even KOS-MOS, were enthralled in what surrounded them. Finely cut diamonds set into rings and necklaces of gold and silver. Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, every jewel you could name placed into at least one piece of elegant jewelry.
Well, they were here, and chaos wasn't leaving until he could get all those voices out of his head. With KOS-MOS still by his side, he looked over a showcase of rings, fancy enough to be wedding rings. There was one on the far left that no one could overlook, silver, adorned beautifully with diamonds and sapphires. If he had the chance, and the money, this would be the ring he would give KOS-MOS, along with a well-written, heartfelt request for her hand in marriage.
His attention was slowly drawn away from the ring to the next showcase, filled with necklaces. One immediately caught his eye, a short silver chain with a single pearl, partially encased in gold. He hugged KOS-MOS as he looked at the red-head, "Excuse me? Could I take a look at this?" he pointed to the necklace.
"Of course," she smiled and opened the showcase, carefully taking out the necklace. As she did this, chaos held up KOS-MOS' hair and ripped the velcro of her choker and name tag. He set it down on the showcase and took the necklace.
"Hold up your hair," he instructed her, she obeyed him without question. chaos smiled as he placed it around her neck, then secured the clasp. He held her wrists, removed her hands from her hair, and rested both their hands on her stomach. KOS-MOS knew that chaos was offering this as a gift, she could not use it, or even accept it. Yet... as she looked in the mirror, the necklace upon her, and chaos' arms wrapped about her body... she didn't dare make a sound.
For a moment, chaos' hand wandered down to her thigh as the owner spoke, "It looks perfect on you, like it was made for you!"
chaos chuckled under his breath while kissing KOS-MOS on the cheek, "How much?"

Aw, thanks for all the wonderful reviews! You all are really too nice! ^_^ *blushes* I do realize some of my sentences don't make that much sense, and I make spelling and grammar mistakes... *whimper* I try so hard, and I still manage to make stupid mistakes. I love hearing your opinions (good or bad, but luckily, most seem to be very good! *blushes again*) on my writing, and I always welcome creative criticism. I hope you enjoyed! ^__^
Buh-bye
