Thanks bunches to crossXdeep, Chocobaby, and Meresta for reviewing, and to everyone else who's been reading! :) I'm very happy that you feel that way about my story (stories? xD) and I'll continue to try my best!
crossXdeep: Thanks! I'm really glad that you read it. ^.^ (Does that sound weird?)
Chocobaby: Hi Chibi/Choco (what do you go by? (x )! Thank you (I'm going to say this lots from now on~) for your review and your help in the TMGS community on LJ. You don't think you're a good writer? I really think you are, though! (: I love how you write your stories!
Meresta: Arigato gozaimasu! (There, so I don't have to keep writing "Thank/Thanks" 8) ) I appreciate your review, and the constructive criticism! Reading over my work, I have noticed that I could add more details on the setting. Thanks!

Three
Tonight: Saeki
For a moment, they believe that the night will last forever. Their hearts longingly ache at the thought of being intertwined, woven together into each other's lives where they belonged, for eternity.
Immediately they push the thought away from their minds. They cannot bring themselves to wholly believe in the foolish lie. For it was just hope, wasn't it?
It wasn't the truth.
In between today and tomorrow, there exists tonight.
The sun doesn't shine, but there are the stars and the moon, and they are just as bright in their beauty.
For the sky is black, but it is not dark.
The moon is alone, but it is not lonely. The stars are small, and yet they are able to form a beautiful necklace above, the tiny twinkling gems combining into one light.
The night is a time to reflect on the passing day, just before a fresh one arrives, bringing opportunity along with the rising sun.
But tonight, it is different.
The moon is gray rather than silver.
The stars fail to unite, and instead they are scattered like teardrops across the cobalt velvet.
The sky is dark and black, and it is beautiful in a way that arouses sorrow in two hearts. A different kind of beauty, they notice.
For these two hearts know that tomorrow, the daybreak will be accompanied with sadness. The beginning of a new day will be the end of another. The end of their love. Their heaven.
And so they do everything they can to never forget the other.
They engrave each other into their memories, the one place where they will safely last through forever.
His scent, she thinks through the tears, pressing her nose to his smooth, sweet skin.
Her touch, he thinks through his blurring vision, holding her soft, gentle hands in his as they roam his body.
It is not a lasting moment. It is their last.
And, knowing this, they cherish it all – the gray moon, the little stars, the silent indigo sky. The short time left until the sun appears over the horizon.
The night. Tonight.

Originally it was going to be fluff, but it turned out like this. The idea came from when Saeki leaves in the game. (He comes back, but still. xD) ): Sorry it's a bit short, but I didn't want to put too much angst. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed it! :D
Thanks for reading! (:
Next will either be on Shiba or Amachi, I'm not sure yet. x)
