Author's Note: ... :) I wonder if anyone else has thought of this pairing.
You run your nails, which glisten like a lonesome dying star, down her cheeks; gently dislodging the small grits of sand clinging to her skin.
She winces and shivers while you hiss; you are like mercury, that poor conductor of heat, and your centipede's touch stings her. Your finger tips are the cause of your hiss; they are melting away as ice caresses the sun.
You have claimed teachers and barmaids, students and ninjas, and yet it is when human saliva cools under the command of your tongue and spirals of sunlight stares upwards that you revel in the pain and adoration.
Her companions lay motionless in forced sleep besides you; the small moment is close to being lost should they awaken.
To think you would become besotted with a sun-child splattered with oil when you saw glimpsed seconds of her at the start of the summons. You had watched her run away with battles scars and as the summoner continued to call you again and again, the two of you had more chances to connect with your eyes.
You could taste her dreams of blizzard breath and beds with an icy cover; you sometimes wondered if she had managed to summon you in those chilly nights.
Now, as Yu Yevon began to crumble away with the aeons, you used this last time to lovingly kiss her mouth, it is like an oasis, to lick her hot skin which whispers of dry deserts and scorched metal, and to stroke her hair which surely must have been worshipped by the sun.
At last you withdraw with limbs that seem to be like icicles introduced to spring, while she shivers with chapped lips and raw fingers.
Please, finish this, love...
She brings forth the Phoenix Downs and the battle begins once more.
