Kiss THIS!
zutara drabbles. (Plot, what plot? Have you ever heard of this strange thing they call plot?) A series of drabbles concerning a certain fire prince and water peasant and an authoress' many ways to get them to kiss.
Taken from the sixteen zutara prompts on lj. This is the sixth one. Expect at least ten (YEAH BABY!) more. (I plan to finish) I don't know for sure if all of them will have a kiss, but I'm going to try.
This is another AU/reincarnation one, but rather than place them in modern day, I put them in medieval England. What did you expect—they gave me Shakespeare as a prompt!
"I do desire we may be better strangers." – William Shakespeare
She leaned against the rail quietly, the feel of the moonlight gently kissing her, adding a ghostlike paleness to her dark skin and an unearthly beauty to her livelyhood.
"M'lady?" a quiet voice, one from that seemed so vaguely familiar, yet she could not place it. "I noticed you you left the ball—and I hope you don't think this rude of me, but I wished to know why." A boy with dark hair and gold eyes asked, head slightly bowed in respect for the lady.
"Why should you care?" She asked softly, not intending to insult the young man who had followed her. "We are nothing but strangers."
"Then," he answered softly, kneeling before her to kiss her hand. "I do desire that we may become better strangers, M'lady."
Who could deny someone with such charm? She smiled and blushed, allowing the young gentleman in front of her to rise, in turn allowing herself to answer his questions. But where have I seen you before, stranger?

Hey look! It's short again! I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing…
Anyway, I'm a sucker for the romantic/Shakespearean era. I could do a billion and a half drabbles just on this era alone. Regency era is also good. Got to love lords and ladies and balls ( -- that sounds dirty) and fluff, right?
Anywho, thanks for the reviews! Expect a new one soon!
