Red Equals Passionate
[A glimpse becomes a look; they could not be more different but they still balance each other out. GenesisxRosso; drabble series]

A/N: This isn't a song drabble-fic, the chorus lyrics are just a plot device...
Bring me to life
"It seems like only yesterday and yet so long ago, doesn't it?"
Rosso did not respond nor acknowledge the questioner, eyes closed and head lifted to the skies. The Crimson Tsviet stood quite still, letting the rain pour down on her. Most likely she would suffer the consequences of a cold later but at this moment, Rosso could care less.
"The darkness? Back when I was a walking corpse?" There was a pause, the Tsviet slowly lowering her head so that her neck did not ache. "Then again, you brought me to life when I was down there."
Wake me up.
Wake me up inside…
"If you want to call it that way…Yes, I suppose I did." Rosso's conversation partner stepped out from the shadows in which he had been standing. Like her, Genesis now risked coming down with a cold as well and like Rosso, he did not care about such trivial concerns at the moment. The ex-SOLDIER gazed at the Crimson Tsviet intently, the same expression that one would wear at say, a chess tournament.
"You know, I've never felt the rain on my skin before…but then again it was only yesterday that I first looked at the sky." Genesis doesn't respond to those words, lost in his own thoughts and recollections.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside…
"Do you regret it?" The question is sudden, unexpected. Before answering, Rosso thinks over his inquiry, turning it over and back in her mind. Genesis only waits in silence, as if he had all the time in the world at his disposal. It is not an implausible concept.
"I don't regret anything I've done in my life. Well…at the least, I try not to." There is no need to restate facts they both know but she does so all the same.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up…
"I don't regret meeting you." I could never regret meeting you, is what Rosso would have liked to say, but it is hardly in her character to be sentimental.
Sentimentality or none at all, Genesis is satisfied.
Bid my blood to run.
Wake me up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become…
