It felt surreal.

Pain echoed in my body, yet I felt this gentle touch.

Brief. Soft. Genuine. Unreal.

Concern in his voice and the familiar warmth of his breath was almost too much to comprehend. It was as if this is what I dreamt.

Maybe this is my heaven.

Maybe the fall was so great I died. It seems impossible though.

But living in the Sohma household I learned nothing is really impossible.

"Please be alright," he whispered softly as I felt the touch of his lips on mine and the gentle feel of a tear falling.

My first kiss.
