I can't believe I'm updating already... Oh wait, yes I can. I seemed to have forgotten to post these two the other night... Ahhh... So that's why Riku was sulky again... Maybe if he would just talk instead of throwing hard objects at my cranium, we might actually get something accomplished.

No real inspiration for these; just more randomness. They're romantic-ish again...I'm so losing my touch...

Dedication: RedCrow1120. My only reviewer so far. 17 chapters and only two reviews...from the same person. Does something seem off to you? Thanks so much for not forgetting me; your support means a lot!

Being able to look into your eyes for hours touches my heart more than words. Speak is fleeting... Your aquamarines say "I love you" better than your lips...


Spoken Silence


His lips try again and again to form words, but something grips his voice every time. The darkness? The ever-consuming shadows? Likely... I can see the strain in his eyes, and that's more painful than any slash from those evil creatures upon my skin.

Without hesitation, I place my fingers upon them, the trembling slowly fading from the flesh as I did so. Giving him a small smirk, I reach up and flick a couple of his silvered strands out of his eyes with that same hand. Getting slightly cocky, I start ruffling his hair, enjoying the sight of his silky, silver hair flailing about. He allows it for a bit, but eventually, his hand captures mine, as do his eyes. But it's the precious smirk upon those velvety lips that brings light to my heart.

His lips separate slightly as his shimmered aquamarine vision gazes at mine with a saddened intent. I can only see his left eye; his blindfold slipping on that side only…but it was enough to pull my tears from their determined prisons. I can't help it; I glance away. I've lost all words…all thoughts…all hope…

The silky fabric of his glove embraces my wet flesh gently, his palm cupping the cheek with an emotion unknown. It lies there softly until I finally face him again; an action I was fighting intensely. Before my vision can attempt to be with his again, his trembling lips fall upon mine and hold them passionately. Shock is quickly replaced by the urge to collapse into his arms and remain there forever, though somehow, I manage to stay upright.

Eventually, he moves away, though not far, and gazes at me again. A small, though intense light seems to flicker within broken aquamarine.

"I love you, too…" More emotions force themselves free at his whispered notes, for though everything within my entity feel the same…my words were never spoken…
