18. Death
Thanks to Doc-sama for reviewing the previous chapter!
A/N: This was difficult to think of a fluffy one. I mean. Just the word "Death" already brings to mind more angst and darker themes.

She was falling!
His hands reached out for her, throat burning as her name left his lips. His heart thumped faster against his ribcage as he jumped after her. Her nightgown fluttered with the midnight breeze, hair spilling out like a blanket beneath her.
Reaching.
Their hands failed to grasp each other's, and she smiled impishly, mouthing words he couldn't understand to him.
With one last thrust, he forced his body's physical limitations to the extreme, finally grabbing her wrist and pulling her up against his body. His cloak shielded her from the harsh impact awaiting her if he hadn't grabbed her.
With another jump, they were back on the large balcony where they had started.
"What were you trying to do!" Endymion's harsh voice lashed out at her. For a moment there, he thought he had lost her. "Are you trying to kill yourself?" He cradled her tightly, his heart wrenching tightly at the thought of her leaving him.
"You forgot I have wings." She smiled the same smile that took his breath away. "I'm not that weak." Her hands snaked around his neck, raking her fingers through the ends of his hair. His nose nuzzled the side of her neck and he leant in for a demanding kiss to sooth his ragged emotions. "I just wanted to fly for a while."
"Someday, Serenity. You'll be the death of me." Endymion smiled ruefully, still cradling her as his princess snuggled against his hard chest, enjoying his scent.
A/N: I'm not sure if you guys get this, but I hope you do. Let me know if you dont and I'll explain to you in a PM!
