The Balcony
Hitomi slowly woke up and got out of her large canopy bed. The coldness of the stone floor beneath her stung her feet as she walked towards the small balcony connected to her room. She glanced around her commodious room and sighed. Her bed was lime green, soft and spacious. The curtains to her windows were a fine deep emerald silk. All around her were closets and cuboards filled with beautiful dresses, the kind of clothes she wouldn't even think of buying while she was back on Earth.
Hitomi deeply breathed in the refreshing morning air as she stepped out into the balcony. She let out another deep sigh as she gazed at the magnificent sight in front of her. The sun was just rising and the sky was tinged with beautiful colours of pink and violet. As she looked down into the city, people were already beginning to start their day. Hitomi could her wisps of laughter and merriment coming from the city.Hitomi smiled 'This is where I belong'. She leaned against the steel railing, her mind drifting to the young man who had become her lover and saviour.'I wonder what Van is doing right now...'. As if someone had read her thoughts, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around Hitomi's waist and held her protectively against the strong, lean body they belonged too . Hitomi giggled as she leaned into Van. She looked up at him with a small smile. "Hello, love." Van smiled back at her, and lovingly began caressing her cheek. They made quite a romantic scene. Two young lovers wallowing in eachothers love under the early morning sky. It was moments like these that Hitomi lived for, just her and Van. Out of all the places in the Fanelian castle, the balcony was her favourite. This was the only place where she could truly be alone with Van without anyone disturbing them. Hitomi smiled as she thought about her first night back on Gaia.
They landed on the castle roof in a hurricane of kisses. Tears were running down Hitomi's face as Van whispered vows eternal love into her ear. Chills were running up and down her body. "Is this really happening?" Van cupped Hitomi's chin and tilted it towards his face. His chocolate eyes were filled with so much love."This is no dream...you are mine forever." He wiped away her tears. Van took a step back so he could retract his wings, and than grabbed Hitomi's hand and began leading her into the castle. Excitement filled Hitomi as she glanced around the old castle. Flashes of memory filled her mind. Oh god it was good to be home. Van abruptly stopped in front of a wooden door, and turned around to face her. He leaned down to give her another passionate kiss, leaving Hitomi in a daze. Van opened the door in front of them, and Hitomi let a small gasp. In front of her was the most beautiful room she had ever seen. The room was tinted with various colours of green and blue, silk and satin were everywhere, the dresser and cuboards were made out of oak. But the thing that entranced her most was the balcony. She ran over to the balcony and squealed. The cold night air made her shiver, but she didn't care. The view was gorgeous. Van walked up and stood beside her. "Do you like it?" he asked. "It's beautiful." Van gave her one last kiss before saying that she would be staying in this room, and that he would come visit her in the morning. Hitomi embraced him tightly. "I love you." Van began walking towards the door. He turned his head and took one last look at her, as if to make sure that she really was here and that it wasn't a dream. Smiling to himself, Van softly closed the door and left.
That was a month ago, and Hitomi had never experienced so much joy in such a short time. Hitomi was jolted out of her thoughts, when Van began laying kisses along her neck and shoulder. Hitomi bursted with laughter. " Stop,Van! That tickles!" Hitomi suddenly found herself laying on the stone floor with Van on top of her. " Good morning, sweetheart." Hitomi watched Van's face go blank, as if he was thinking about what to do next. The sudden pressure on top, and steel coldness below her, was not exactly comfortable position for her. Hitomi began getting up but Van held her down. Hitomi raised an eyebrow at his strange behaviour, "Van what's wrong?" Van's eyes bored into Hitomi's, you could tell that he was nervous about something.
"Hitomi..." Van reached into his left pocket and took out a small velvet black box. Seeing the box, Hitomi's heart began to race. " Do you believe in our love?" Hitomi nodded her head. "Do you promise, that no matter what happens, you'll always be here?" Hitomi shook her head vigourosly. "I promise" she said. Van gave her one of the most beautiful smiles she had seen. "Then...will you forever be mine?" Van opened the small velvet box, and revealed a small, pink, heart shaped diamond ring. Hitomi could feel tears welling up in her eyes and she released a small giggle. "Didn't you know Van? I've always been yours." A single tear crept down Van's cheek as he gently took Hitomi's hand and placed the ring on her finger. That spent the entire morning on the balcony, talking about their wedding and their future.
But their future, is still undecided. Soon they will need eachother more than anything. For great tragedies are on the horizon.
