Chapter: Your Eyes, Your Soul, Your Kiss
Alphonse walked along the street, his steps purposeful yet uncoordinated. He held his shoulders back and his hands behind his back. His blonde hair whipped around his face in the wind. The freezing breeze blew and pricked at the back of his eyes. But maybe it was something else that bothered him. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he had just experienced something beyond his imagination. His mind flashed images across the eye of his mind that spun around in circles, chasing itself until not even he knew what he was looking at.
In his entire life he had never been so confused, or emotionally distraught. Not that he could remember, anyways. His thoughts chased each other in his head. He was just trying to get his head around Maria's problem.
I'm so sorry Alphonse… s-sorry…
"I'm sorry Alphonse… I'm so sorry." She whimpered and he put his hand on the back of her head gently as she gasped the collar of his trench coat. "S-sorry…"
"It's alright…you can cry all you want." He whispered into her hair, burying his nose in the succulent smell. Damp, wet and dirty it still smelt of Irises…
"Al?" She felt his hand on her spine a delicate touch meant to comfort her, but instead it unsettled her, rising to the top of everything was this emotion that she had never felt before and the sudden realization that he was falling in love with her. She breathed in deeply, following his deep breaths, listening to the calm lub-dub of his heart, imagining the rough sunset honey color of his eyes, the smooth low tone of his voice in her ear…
His soul…
Maria jolted awake, her breathing heavy, looking from side to side. 'What a strange dream…' She put her hand to her forehead, pushing her hair from her face and looked at the clock, '9:00, I slept in today…' She pushed her covers back then stopped. There he was, standing in her doorway.
"Maria?" His voice shook her. Her entire form trembled. "I need a word with you." He walked in and shut the door. She nodded.
"How did you get in?"
"Your roommate let me in. Don't worry." He muttered and she motioned for him to sit down on her bed. He pulled his jacket off and turned to put it on the rack. As he did she stood and walked over to him. "What is it?" He asked her as she put her hand on his arm, turning him towards her.
"Al… listen about-" She stopped short as he turned, her hair falling from its loose clip of its own free will as her lips were pressed against his. Her eyes opened wide as she felt tingles run from her head to her toes. She felt as though she was going to collapse. Her face flushed as the gloved hand that was behind her neck slid down her body, down across her smooth collarbone, brushing against her breast and then falling down to cover her hip, which pulled her closer, her entire body working under his control. Her eyes closed finally and she felt his free arm wrap tightly around her waist, pulling her up against him almost roughly. She felt his tongue flit across her lips and parted them.
His eyes opened as he pulled away from her, "Don't say anything. I don't need another explanation or another excuse."
"Wh-y did you do that?" She breathed, her body still shaking slightly from the volume of feeling that his kiss had portrayed. Her skin still tingled where he had touched her and slowly she began to notice that there was something different, about herself… "You're…"
And now his kiss…
