fai & sakura
( dance )
She wondered if this was what a first kiss felt like.
They moved in unison, in slow motion, swaying to the tune that had cast a spell over them; her hand clasped in his, his arm around her waist.
She wasn't sure if they were moving, or if the music that lilted in the background had stopped, but she was aware that her peony lips had parted; emerald swirling in a sea of sapphire, pale skin glowing a rose pink.
Only a simple smile had been said, a simple glance, a simple touch, a simple look, but nonetheless, her breath had been taken away like dandelions dissipating delicately in the playful wind, summer skies clear without silver-lined clouds.
Taking another breath, she realized that Fai was speaking.
"… let's practise a little bit longer." The magician murmured in her ear, holding her lithe body closer to his frail heart, his hand tightening his hold on hers, not wishing to release her from his grip. Not just yet.
"… for a little while…" The princess agreed; resting her head on his chest, listening to the tune that beat to her own, however fragmented.
It was strange that this dance with two strangers had drawn them together, promising a fairytale waltz, a fairytale romance, magic sparkling in air, in his elongated arms and in her tender heart.
And for what seemed like eons, they danced to 'a song to pass the time', neither one wanting to let go.
