Empty the pocket


Come on, let's go on a journey, emptying our pockets. - POKETTO wo Kara ni Shite, sung by Maaya Sakamoto


"We could just leave," she suggests one day. "Just the two of us. We don't need this stupid war. There's an entire world out there to get lost in."

"For you I would fly even to the ends of the universe," he replies. He smiles then, and it's all she can do not to fidget under his knowing gaze. "But I do not think you are really so eager to leave our comrades undefended or our battles unfought."

She sighs and settles back in to the curve of his arm. "I guess," she says. "But it's nice to have options."


A/N: 100 words; written for the prompt 'empty the pocket'.

"Empty the Pocket" is a character song from the anime Escaflowne. To 'empty your pockets' in this sense is a metaphor for throwing away your cares and starting fresh. Or, in their case, leaving the war behind and running off in to the sunset. This really doesn't fit either of their characters IMO, but as Blackarachnia says, it's nice to dream ;)
