31_days, Duck!fic #2 -- Reflection
I felt like I should work on writing another one of these...didn't have any inspiration from today's theme, so I decided to work on one for a few days from now. Probably best to work ahead, anyway.
I'm not totally sure if I like this one or not. I'm not even exactly sure if I had a theme or idea in mind for this one...I was just playing with what the theme made me think of.
(And yeah, I know, I need to post up the answers to the meme. I'll try to do it after classes, I gotta go to lunch. I still need to get started on Kris' present, too, oi.)
Title: Reflection
Day/Theme: Feb. 29 - "Come give me my soul again."
Series: Princess Tutu
Character/Pairing: Tutu/Mytho
Rating: G
The blood-red crystal felt warm in her hands as she brought it close to her eyes. So this is what a shard of Mytho’s heart looked like? It didn’t quite seem like a heart, but that was probably part of the magic of it. It glowed, shining red light on her hands. Was that…a face, reflected in the shard? Snow-white hair; wide, pure eyes-was that him? The Prince?
It was a strange thing, holding a one of your beloved’s feelings. She felt vaguely disappointed-she’d hoped to see more than just a reflection of him. She wanted to know him more. (Was that the shard? Was it affecting her just like Anteaterina?) She ran one of her fingers along the smooth surface and looked at it again, squinting, trying to catch his face, to see what he might be like when he was whole-
There was a rustle of leaves behind her. She turned, still cupping the crystal in her hands, then smiled at the boy that was approaching. She couldn’t hold onto it any longer.
“Go back to where you belong,” Tutu instructed the piece of his heart, holding it out. It flew out of her palms like a bird from its nest, sinking into Mytho’s chest.
Before he had a chance to recover, to ask her who she was, she was gone.
