White Wings
An Angel Sanctuary Story, By Graham Parsons
Chapter One: Stay by my side...
I want to have you, I want to keep you all to my own, I want to hurt whoever comes near you; your smile belongs to me and only me...
But....
Why do I not see it? Instead all I see are tears marking the shape of your face... All I want to do is make you happy, because I love you and only you...
He woke from this vision or translucent dream to see a figure beside him that had become all too familiar over the course of his life. He knew that they were defying a system created to maintain balance and structure among the cosmos. It only seemed inevitable that their love would be destroyed at any cost. The time he spent with Sara was the time when he was most happy. He arched his back and let his head fall silently against the pillow below him. He turned his head slightly to see the face of the woman that he wanted to share his life with.
He closely observed her body. Her hair, the very vision of a summer's day, spilling across the silk blue under sheet. Her face, fine and pale, like spring snow, glowing, with light stolen from the moon. Her body, suggestive curves that drove him insane, to the brink of madness thinking only of the next time her would lay his hands on her...
He sighed gently and rose from the bed. He walked gently to the edge of the room and slid the balcony door open, making caution no to wake Sara. He rested his arms on the banister and let out another soft sigh. He thought to himself... I wonder whether this is all worthwhile... Is what we are doing right? He didn't know what to do or what to think, he only knew that life would be so unbearable without her.
Sara woke soon after to find that Setsuna was not beside her... For a moment she panicked and thought only of the worst... That he had left her, realized that their relationship would never work and that things would be simpler if they were not together. Then, she saw him out on the balcony, naked, with his arms rested against the edge. She let out a soft sigh and slid out of the bed and slipped one of Setsuna's over shirts on over her t-shirt. She wrapped it close around her body, warming as much of it as she could. She knelt beside the bed and tied he hair loosely in a silk ribbon, it would have to do for now.
She walked in short steps towards the door and slid it open gently; whatever he was looking at or thinking of sure did take up most of his attention. After time she said in a tired voice
"Setsuna, you are shivering you are going to catch a cold out here..."
He turned only his head and looked at her in a very peculiar way, almost cute, before saying
"Don't be silly Sara, I am immune to the cold" he turned to face the ocean once again, until he looked down and noticed that his hands were shaking.
She looked at him with a very calm look on her face and said
"Don't be silly Setsuna; let me be the one to keep you warm..." She then took off the over shirt she was wearing, now warm from being held closely to her, and donned it on him.
He looked deep into her eyes and gave her a gentle kiss on her mouth. It would take a lot to keep them apart. As the stood arm in arm Setsuna still thought to himself...
We're not fooling ourselves, we know our happiness won't last forever, but now, just for the time being, let us indulge in our role as a happy couple, if we were to kneel before god, we would surely be found guilty.
He smiled and said softly, "the happiest sinners on earth"
Sara turned to Setsuna and said "Don't forget Setsuna, girls have white wings, the wings with which are used to protect their loved ones, I am going to embrace you with those wings"
"It's alright; we will never be apart, so long as we are alive, we will meet again, as long as we have eachother..."
He embraced her forcefully and began to cry... "May God forsake us..."
