Little long, but reads funny if cut any shorter. XD
Date: 2010-09-22 12:26 pm (UTC)To her credit, she didn't say anything, just slid down and sat beside Ellone, but when she held out one of her arms, Ellone fell into her, twisting around to bury her face against Fujin's shoulder. She couldn't stop hiccuping, couldn't stop herself from crying. Fujin patted her shoulder, then made a soft noise and wrapped her arms around Ellone, holding her close. Ellone melted into the embrace, needing it more than she cared to admit.
She was the strong one. She was the one who had been chased her entire life by evil and still found ways to smile, who held her White SeeDs as they broke down (eventually, they each had) because how could they protect her against someone wearing the face of the woman they all loved? But this time, she couldn't shoulder her burden alone. She didn't know how.
“H-he,” she swallowed, knowing that her voice was muffled against Fujin's shoulder and not caring, “he kissed me, Fujin. I … I didn't know what to do.” She eased back and reached a hand up to wipe her eyes. Fujin offered her the end of Ellone's own green scarf and, with a shaky smile, Ellone took it and dried her eyes.
“Return?” Fujin tilted her head, and Ellone wrapped the scarf around her hand, clutching it.
“I don't know,” she whispered as she stared at the grass. She couldn't even seem to think anymore around him. Fujin touched the side of her face, and Ellone glanced up at her. Without warning, Fujin leaned in, touched their lips together. Ellone's eyes widened, and Fujin's hand slid around to the back of her neck, keeping her there.
It was sweet, gentle, and entirely unlike the kiss she had shared with Seifer. Even then, by the time Fujin drew back, Ellone was trembling, reaching up to touch her lips hesitantly.
“Like his?”
Understanding dawned on her, and Ellone flushed darkly. “No, Fu. Not like his.”
With that, Fujin stood, dusted herself off, and held out a hand to Ellone. One silver eyebrow arched, and she offered a very small grin. “Answer,” she said, matter-of-factly, as she helped Ellone to her feet. Ellone supposed she was right; she did have her answer.
