WARNING: MAJOR MAJOR MAXIMUS ANGST AHEAD!
#4 – Refuse
There was no afterglow, as described in so many romances. No, tonight there were just the two of them in his bed, covered by a lone white sheet, and the choked cries of his female companion that echoed thought the dismal room.
Her scalding tears burned at his sweat-laden shoulder while she cradled her head in the crook of his neck, trying to muffle her sobs.
He'd have to admit that this was the second time, in over nine years of companionship; she'd take down her defenses and show him her softer side. He knew that her tears and sobs were filled with both anger and fear, not only for herself, but for him too.
There was no solace, nor words that could ease their pains. There is no way they can refuse their orders; any last bits of optimism and hope they had was ripped from them with such savage force, they were just feeling the pains of it now.
His hand slowly rubbed her lower back, trying to clam her slightly, even though he was torn up inside as well.
She held onto him tightly, as if she'd never let him go, to preserve this little bit of time she had with them; for they both knew the chances that he would see her again were grim.
AN: Yikes...yah. Bad day. Decided to write royai. Ninalee-chan, this isnt a spoiler...unless you've been keeping up to date with the manga (even then it isnt a spoiler too much) and the other one was a tiny tiny spoiler. Shoot me an e-mail or im some day, I'd like to chat (you're such a nice person!)
