-1Something woke me. I'm not sure what it was. A movement in the room, I'm so jumpy as of late. I turned over and saw Shuuya sitting in a chair watching me. We didn't speak for a moment, just stared at each other.
"I'm
sorry Nori, I really am." I sat up and moved over. A moment passed
and I tapped the spot on the side of me in bed. Shuuya stood up,
walked over and sat down next to me.
"I should apologize to.
You don't sulk. If anything, it's me that does." He opened his
arms and I snuggled into them. We both knew there were no words to
say at that moment. It was times like this that everything in life
seemed worth it. You knew that love existed, even though I know we
are both alone… If it's Shuuya and I against the world, then I
like my odds. Slipping my arms around his waist, he let me hold him
to… People need to realize that that is life, letting yourself be
held. To much pride will only stand in the way of moments like
this.
"We've never fought before" I said quietly
"I don't think I like it." I looked up at him and smiled. Suddenly something strange hit me, desire? Wow, you can live again. This was proof. My life wasn't over, I needed to live in the moment…
"Shuuya," I said, running my hand up his chest gently, I could feel his muscles tighten. "I think I should try to teach you some English" he tried to relax, feeling as though he had misread my intentions.
"Okay."
"They are words that describe us perfectly, the English
translation of a Greek saying… Seize the Day. There may not be a
tomorrow… live each day as though it's your last."
"Seize the Day" He echoed, with that I kissed him. This was our first kiss, sweet and kind. Love, tenderness and all that was right in the world.
"Does
this mean what I think it does?" he looked at me with love in his
eyes.
"Yes" My voice was shaking, my whole body
shaking…
"Only if your sure… 100"
"Shut up and touch me…" I giggled as he obliged, pushing me onto the bed, and laying over me. For once I wasn't afraid… when it was right it was right and my heart told me that time was now.
