Everything Darwin Delantri :: Find me here :: A dark living room, lit only by the flickering from the dying fireplace. The coals cast indefinate shadows over the furniture and shag rugs, like ships on a misty bay. :: Speak to me :: One shadow stirs uncomfortably on the rug in front of the fireplace. :: I want to feel you :: The distraught Zechs pulls himself off the rug and surveys the darkened room with acute emerald eyes. :: I need to hear you :: He weaves his familiar way past silhouettes of furniture. :: You are the light that is leading me :: He stops and sits, wets his paw, and runs in through his bright white mane. :: To the place where I find peace again :: He hops up on the piano bench and from there, onto the windowsill. Gazing up at the full moon, he takes a lucrative sigh out of the air, his breath fogging the tiniest part of the glass. :: You are the hope that keeps me trusting :: Betrayed by that moon�s feral light, Noin prowls through the dark house, her head down and her whiskers twitching. :: You are the life to my soul :: She suffers from the same malaise Zechs has, dropping herself forlornly onto a cushion sticking with ashen-violet fur. :: You are my purpose you are my everything :: Still scared and fragile, she eyes the slinking shadows with darting distaste. :: And how could I stand here with you :: The shadows melt together again, and Zechs hops down from the windowsill, his paws hitting the floor with such light precision that they barely cause a gasp of startled wind. :: And not be moved by you :: He is glad to leave the living room, going instead to the cold linoleum of the home�s kitchen. :: Would you tell me it could be :: Beside the towering refrigerator, a few plastic dishes sat safe from the pearl door�s arc. :: Any better than this :: The one marked Zechs in big block letters is full, as he never touched his food. :: You calm the storm you give me rest :: The second, empty one is marked Noin. She forgot to take it with her when she left. :: You hold me in your hands :: Zechs walks to the communal water bowl and looks at his reflection. :: You won�t let me fall :: Noin sees Zechs� reflection in her replacement, ceramic water dish, and backs away in surprise. :: You still my heart :: She looks at the glistening pool again, disappointed to see her own face looking back at her. :: You take my breath away :: Not bothering to drink, she jumps up on the kitchen counter. :: Would you take me in :: She sits between the sink and the dirty blender jar, looking out at the moon through a child�s dreamcatcher. :: Would you take me deeper now :: The moonlight�s silken streaming beams make her deep eyes shine, but they soon take on a glitter from within. :: �Cause you�re all I want :: Blessed by the moon goddess, the two were freed outside, charging for one another across an endless field. :: You are all I need :: They met and clashed, laughing as only cats can as they tumbled in an ecstatic ball of fur, paws and rolling grass. :: You are everything :: Together again, they grin as they pause from their wrestling to catch their breath. :: Everything :: On the grass, panting, they lock their eyes and just look into one another, silent under the moon. :: How am I to stand here with you :: The mutual dream ends, and Noin jumps down from the counter. She takes an indulgent drink of her chilly water and leaves the kitchen satisfied. :: And not be moved by you :: She lies down on her cushion, smiling underneath her bangs as she lets herself slip off into bliss. :: Would you tell me how it could be :: Zechs breaks his gaze from the blue-white disk past the glass, retreating back to his shaggy mat. :: Any better than this :: He plops down in front of the last moments of the coals, smirking as his consciousness faded along with the light. :: �Cause you� re all I want :: :: You are all I need :: :: You are everything :: :: Everything :: Everything is property of Lifehouse, and Lucrezia Noin and Zechs Marquise are property of Sunrise Studios, Sutso Agency, and Bandai. |
