Title: Love
Author: Ohtori Akio
Pairing: YamatoSakura
Rating: PG
WARNING: Yamato POV
Love
She is neither pink nor pale,
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
And her moth on a valentine
All those pictures on the wall do not begin to capture you,
Standing before me and unraveling before me,
Letting the true form behind that shadow show and gently taking my hand in yours…you show me the reality of your skin, the reality of your corves and your slopes…and the enormity of this moment could swallow me up, spit me out and leave me for dead—if not for your eyes on mine, beckoning me forwards and to your mouth…how many do you kiss at night? Many more then I have, surely—but as sure of this as I am, I am even more aware of you against me now, of your heart—your heart, so very alive—beating in time with mine…and I rush to keep you with me, to save us both from the turntable of time and the swell of ancient waters—you are as real as you seem and still more real then I can ever hope to be…Will you depart with me? Will you be mine?
