[wow, so pink]

Ohhhh...!

Re: Day 231

[sunflowering]

Do you know how to play an instrument at all?

Moving over to the piano and lifting the cover-up. ]

Even though this piano looks like it's out of a kid's storybook, it works.

Re: Day 231

[artisticliberty]

I do not. But I shall gladly listen to you play.

1/2

[sunflowering]

Alright.

[ Taking a seat elegantly at the piano, situating herself. Has he seen Shu perform before? He was excellent at this. Eyes closing, she takes a breath, lifting her hands delicately, before-- ]

2/2

[sunflowering]

[ Hot crossed buns
Hot crossed buns
one a penny
two a penny
hot crossed buns. ]

[artisticliberty]

[claps politely :O]

[sunflowering]

[ Stands and takes a bow ]

I promise to wow you more with my cello performance!

[artisticliberty]

I am looking forward to it. I am sure it will be a performance to remember for ages.

[sunflowering]

Ehee.

[ She hopes it does a little justice to that. ]

I was thinking I'd stay in this room tonight since it seems harmless enough. Maybe I'll work on a second masterpiece. Unless you wind up too tired to leave later.

[artisticliberty]

[clears his throat and blushes]

... we shall see.

[goes over and sits on the bed]

Yuuki, will you come here?

[sunflowering]

[ She crosses the distance between them, lifting one of her hands out for him to take. ]

Mm...[ . . . And the faintest blush, before- ] Yusuke...?

[artisticliberty]

[he takes it, and then pulls her into his arms, hugging her]

[sunflowering]

[ Mm. It's an easy feeling to adjust to. Pressed against the warmth of his chest. Her senses aren't as strong as back home, but certainly, like this, she can both feel and hear the beat of his heart, his scent just as tantalizing as ever.

Smiling against him, she closes her eyes, her own arms coming to grasp hold of his outer clothes...and tightening. ]

Somehow, when I'm with you... you blow all the bad feelings away.

[artisticliberty]

I feel the same when I am with you. In your arms, I feel... at peace.

[sunflowering]

[ . . . Staying snuggled close for the moment.]

Did Zero tell you at all...? About...today?

[artisticliberty]

No... he didn't say anything to me. I think perhaps we have a strained relationship... I am not sure how to mend it, as it is.

[pets her hair]

Do you want to talk about what happened?

[sunflowering]

He's very stoic. I'm sure that he cares about you too.

[ If he was able to be as close to him as she is, she's sure he'd be won over almost immediately. She nods against him, though.]

I think... I want to talk to you because I think you might understand my feelings a little more. But it's... it may be due to a sad similarity between us.

[artisticliberty]

What do you mean...?

[sunflowering]

. . . Possessing feelings for someone, even when that person hurts you, and even when everyone else... says it is wrong.

[artisticliberty]

[ah. he lowers his eyes]

...

Tell me?

[sunflowering]

I had a bad memory today. With Kaname.

[ He had met him...right? That time when those other units were here. She can't remember because everything is a whirl, but she's pretty sure he met him. ]

It's my second one. Though in the past... Zero had a really bad one involving him too.

[ His memory, really... is what makes her own feelings all the more loathsome. ]

I... I'm too embarrassed to try and explain it. I don't know how to put it into words. If I say 'I was being punished,' it automatically paints him as a bad guy. If I show you the memories, then you'll be upset too.

[ She's rambling. She has no idea where to start or how to even explain the mess that is her heart. ]

. . . He wanted to show me how useless it was to try. How...weak I am. I'm a terrible fiancee, no good-- I'm useless and even when I try my hardest, it all comes down to nothing.

Those... are the sorts of things that have been said between some of these last memories.

[ She swallows ]

And not all of it is false. I am a terrible fiancee. But... but putting that aside, I feel shaken. It's like his heart is lost inside a terribly deep forest and he can't see any light. And because he can't, the only things he can seem to mutter are full of loneliness and despair.

. . . Even though I'm right here too. And even though my heart hurts... like a bunch of stakes are being driven through to the core, I can't shake how I feel either. Because I... because I love him, too. I have always thought that...were he to fall to the deepest depths, then it would be okay. Because I would fall with him.

But everything... it's all mixed up. And it gets worse, which is why... I can't face Zero right now. I can't face him or Ren.

[artisticliberty]

[quiet as he listens, though his brow furrows deeply. for a few moments after she finishes, he doesn't say anything]

...

It's because you love him... that you cannot hate him for what he did to you.

[sunflowering]

[ Nods ]

I love him. I love him so much that sometimes it feels like he's filling my head entirely and taking over every cell within my body. Like it's impossible to think past him.

[artisticliberty]

[running his fingers through her hair]

You must know... that if you were to fall with him, you would never be able to pull him back up. No one would be able to pull you up, either. The fog he is lost in... it consumes men. It turns their hearts black.

If I could, I would steal his heart for you. So that you can break the chains that bind you both.

[sunflowering]

[ . . . It's true. And she knows that his words ring true. It just doesn't make it any easier.]

The castles... you spoke about before.

[ She remembers him telling her about them. She's seen them too, in his memories. ]

I wonder if that sort of thing would be possible. Once leaving this place, or having wishes granted...
