Drabble 7: Finding An Addiction

He couldn't move. But then, he didn't want to move either. He was perfectly content to stay as he was, locked away in her arms. His hair was spread out over the soft lavender of her kimono, his fingers caressing the tantalizing curve of her cheek. As his fingers fluttered over her lips, the only thing he can think is that they are even softer than he had imagined.
Nothing could have prepared him for this. No heated imagination, or deliberate fantasy could have told him that this was how it would unfold. That this was how his first kiss would feel like.
But he has never even imagined his first kiss. That was never part of the battle plan of his life. His life was about training to fulfill his duties. His duties were to his land and to his people. That he would find himself in the embrace of a beautiful woman, and especially this beautiful woman had never even registered in his mind.
But this was the truth. This was happening. He was here. And Kaoru was with him. That he had fallen for her was no surprise to him. That she had chosen him to belong to had shocked him. He was addicted to her.
It isn't an easy thing to admit for a man, even less so for a warrior. But he is addicted to her. Where he had found the courage to pursue her is still a mystery to him. But he had told her and subsequently become lost in the haze of knowing he was not alone who had been swept away in the limitless flood that is love.
And now here they were. She bent her head and whispered softly, "Okita."
"Hmmm." Hearing his name on her lips deepened his ecstasy.
She bent her head. Her lips rest briefly at the corner of his mouth teasingly and move away. He lifts his hand to stop her from running away but he is one moment too slow. She lightly pushes him off her lap and runs away laughing.
"Kaoru! That's not fair!"
Her only response is her bubbling laughter that echoes in the garden. Okita slowly gets to his feet. Kaoru is not yet tired of being chased. As he follows her he realizes, he's not yet tired of chasing either.
The moth must fly towards the flame. The addict must run after his drug.
