For JENOVA(YAZOO)

[Deleted]

Yazoo's gaze flicked to hers, blinking slowly. "I'm just surprised...and grateful... about that. I've aways wanted wings, like so many of my Brothers and Sisters with Mother's cells." He let out a short chuckle, leaning back onto his elbows. "Look at me, I'm droning on."

He paused to listen to her song, surprised at the sound that met his ears. She had a beautiful voice that filled the silence, making a small tingle ran down his spine. He wasn't used to these kind of things. It was so... alien to him to have things turn out pleasurable.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan came back to earth. She was embarrassed. "Oh I'm sorry. It's just errm I..." she babbled. He was so beautiful and yet she didnt have the guts to say it so she stayed quiet. Every time she turned to look at him her heart skipped a vital beat. And she thought she liked Kadaj. Oh how she had bee so neiave. She messed with her hair nervously at what he was going to say next.

[Deleted]

Yazoo's gaze flicked to Elstan once again when she stopped singing. She looked embarassed, not meeting his gaze and messing with a stray lock of hair. "No need to be embarassed. I liked that song." A soft smile played at his mouth. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but being with thie woman was... different. He rarely spoke to women, and those he did were generally trying to kill him, or he was trying to kill her. He liked being able to be comfortably near somebody other than Kadaj, Loz, or Sepheroth.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan still felt like a little schoolgirl with a crush, but it felt different. She had never been close to anyone other than those of her Creed. All her life ment was murder and she was the best at covering her tracks. But she felt she had to protect Yazoo from any harm that may come his way. She sighed and gulped. "Yazoo. This may sound ridiculous but I err...oh god." she said but whispered the last two words. Waiting for his reply was nerve racking.

[Deleted]

Intrest prickled in Yazoo's eyes at her words. Something seemed to be bothering her, or nagging her into embarassment. There was an emotion behind her gaze, something more intense than mere liking, or friendship. He blinked, cocking his head to one side with a single silver eyebrow raised.

"Is something wrong? You seem embarassed." The silver haired Remnant observed, only mild curiosity in his eyes. It was obvious he wanted to know what she wanted to say.

[Elstan Shadow]

Holding her head in in her hands, Elstan cursed herself. 'How can you be so stupid and reckless?' her conscience said to her. She met Yazoo's gaze. "Yout wouldn't understand what emotion I'm feeling at this moment in time." she said. Elstan managed to tear her eyes off him and look back into the crystal clear water that was running beneath them. Her heart was beating so fast that she thought it might burst. Sighing she wrapped her cloak around herself to try and keep warm.

[Deleted]

Yazoo opened his mouth to reply, but closed it slowly as she looked away. Her head was cradled in her hands, as many people did in moments of pain or frustration. He wondered which it was for Elstan.

"You can tell me." He said gently, cat-like eyes unsusally soft. He was like this very rarely, and to a select few people. He wasn't even sure Kadaj had seen im like this.

[Elstan Shadow]

Should she take a risk and tell him or keep him in the dark? She swallowed hard. "Yout may find this weird but I think I love you." she said. She wondered what he would say. She was a bit scared about this part. She messed with her hair again and braided it.

[Deleted]

Okay, to be honest, he didn't see that coming. Surprise flared in the green depths of his eyes at the confession. What was he suppoused to say? I love you too? His heart began to thud niosily in his chest, so loud he was convinced she could hear it.

He was able to hang on to his cool, calm demeanor, but only just. "I..." He started, trailing off. Maybe he felt the same way. He'd never experienced love before, aside from the brotherly bonds that tied him and his Brothers together. And the feelings racing through his brain were unlike any he felt before. "I think... I feel the same"

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan looked at him. The words she had hoped for. She took Yazoo's hand in her own and sprouted her wing and wrapped it around him. She put her head on his shoulder. It had been a while since she had felt this way dorset anyone. Elstan looked back up at him and brushed a sray hair out of his beautiful eyes. She had heard the stories about him and she was beginning to think they were all lies.

[Deleted]

Yazoo was slightly startled when her head was on his shoulder, and her single wing wrapped around him, but he made no move to push her away. The odd thing was... he liked it. There was a slight tingle down his spine as she brushed hair from his face. He could sit there forever, watching the flowing water pleashed as silver as his hair in the moon, with Elstan's head on his shoulder, her wing wrapped around them both, pulling them together.

How could he feel like this? Just a Remnant... He'd been telling himself that for all of his life. Just a Remnant could't be cared for like this. Just a Remnant could care back like this. A smile played at the corners of his lips as he pulled her closer and shifted to a position in which they would both be more comfortable.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan felt Yazoo pull her closer to him. She took a vial from her pocket, slit her finger and filled it and put the glass stopper in the top. "Here. Take it. If at some point we are apart and you need me just call out my name in your thoughts. I shall hear you." she smiled. She wrapped an arm around his waist. She was actually shocked herself that someone could love her and she could love them back without being afraid of losing them.

[Deleted]

Yazoo took the vial, turning it over in one hand and watching the blood flow inside of it. He stowed it in small pocket in Velvet Nightmre's holster, careful not to even bump it against his weapon. If he ended up breaking this vial, he'd end up hating himself. "Thank you." He whispered, curling his fingers around the hand she was holding. "I won't forget this." A gloved hand tenderly brushed against Elstan's cheek before dropping back to around his shoulder.

[Elstan Shadow]

She closed her eyes as he touched her. When it was over she was tempted in leaning in and kissing him. She held back unsure if it was what he wanted or not. Instead she quickly kissed his cheek. "You're welcome. I love you." she whispered. Elstan couldn't tear her eyes from him he was just so perfect. Well perfect in her eyes and nothing would ever change that. Ever. Her heart belonged to him and to him only. No other could take his place in her heart.

[Deleted]

Sparks seemed to explode under the skin in which Elstan had kissed him. He'd never experience this before. It was so now and so... perfect. It was merely a peck on the cheek, one that teenagers even exchanged frequently, but it was enough to set his nervous system burning with pleasure. "Likewise." The silver haired man whsipered.

He loved being kissed. It was unlike anything he'd ever felt before, and it sent his heart fluttering unsteadily. By the look in her eyes, Yazoo could tell that Elstan wanted much more than a peck on the cheek. This was also something new, but he had to try a real kiss, even if it was just once. He tilted her head gently toward his with a finger under her chin, and pressed his lips to hers.
