Bleeding Heart
Disclaimer: Own it not do I, tho' the leaves whisper wildly in the wind…
A/N: Erg…this one will be difficult…
To IKnowNot (times four): Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I would say it eight times (twice for each review), but I'm too lazy to type it all out. But really, thanken so much!
To skenshingumi: Thank you! You totally rock! And thanks for taking time on your review, I completely appreciate it!
To RoseGoddess874: Thankenheimer!
To Battosaigurl: Really now? Deep you say? I'm deep? (Probes brain and finds naught but lint, pencil stubs, an old manual eggbeater, and half a chocolate chip cookie) Whoa…
To Jasmine Reinier: WOOT! PLUSHIES! Aside from that…you know how much you suck for requesting that pairing? As if some of my readers weren't run off already from all the OTHER alternates! Plus…how the hell am I gonna do THAT?
(Pay no heed to my response to Jasmine-chan. She is my friend and we do such to each other. Speaking of which, since everyone that reviewed seemed to LOVE Chou/Tae…well, she writes it. LOTS of it. Like, she's one of two authors on this site that writes said pairing. So read her stories! And review! Yes, this is a shameless plug.)
And onward we go!
XVI. Firefly
Firefly
Dancing in the moonlight
Bright
Joyful
Oblivious
Of the trauma
Of the two humans.
Firefly
Doesn't see the tear
Trickle
Down
Her face
As he says
Goodbye to her.
Firefly
Doesn't hear her
Calling
His
Name
Trying to get him
To stay with her.
Firefly
Doesn't see the tear
Trickle
Down
His face
Desperately trying to show her
He doesn't want to go.
Firefly
Doesn't notice when she
Collapses
Sobbing
Heartbroken
Wishing for him to
Turn and kiss her.
Firefly
Dancing in the moonlight
Bright
Joyful
Oblivious
Of the girl
As her soul dies.
XVII. Unexpected
The most
Unexpected
Never
Expected—
Both young,
However,
One lively…
One bitter.
One looks
To the future…
One dwells
In the past.
The most
Unexpected
Never
Expected—
The friendship
That comes to
The two.
Together,
Both
In comfort
Both live
In the present.
The most
Unexpected
Never
Expected—
What blossoms
Between,
What grows
In their hearts
The unexpected
That was least
Expected—
Love.
Unexpected,
But there.
XVIII: Sometimes
Sometimes
It seems like we
Hate.
Sometimes
It seems like we
Flirt.
Everyone
Thinks that we are
Some twisted
Kind of insane.
Sometimes
It seems like they are
Right.
I know, though,
That all
That insanity is
Is another word for
Completely
Madly
In love.
Sometimes
I think that this
Can only be true.
Sometimes
I think that I'm insane
To love you.
But
Sometimes
I just do.
A/N: FINALLY I got onto my lazy butt and wrote that last one. Sorry about the delay this chapter. Cookies to anyone who reviews and guesses the last two pairings.
