Summary: There's something about him that calms the fire in her. A new beginning in an old love story.
There's something about him that calms the fire in her.
Here, curled up in his lap like this, she feels her anger dissipating into nothing, such so that she can no longer remember what it was she was mad about. Something or another. It did not seem important now. His fingers run up her side, then back down, and the repetitive motion is soothing. She runs her fingers through his hair-- his head tips back with the motion, and he's looking at her, looking into her--
The velocity at which she loves often stuns her. The velocity at which she loves this man (this boy, lonely boy, sweet and shy;), therefore, frightens her to the core, and more. The touch of his hand, fingers stroking her cheek: emotion overwhelms her, but does not overpower. She doesn't feel weak with this boy. She feels everything-- all of that, and more.
It's not like flames that consume and then destroy. And more often than not that is all she has known. It's a slow build-- a process that perplexed her, so used to the idea that love had to take the way falling objects surrender to sheer gravity.
She already loved him, and didn't know it until three months later.
Here, now, walking along the shore at the beach where she first met him, she looks back to find that the sea had claimed her footprints for itself. Memory moves in orbits of absence, she thinks, wrapping her arms around herself and holding on tight. The loss of herself always scares her so.
She finds him just a little further up, hands shoved into his pockets, looking to the horizon. Erika inclines her head just a little this way, and the light filters in through the cracks of him, casting shadows in the sand.
He looks up and smiles at her-- he's smiling, at her. It doesn't hit with the intensity of a tidal wave, but there's something inside her, and it's blooming slowly, like the flowers he brings her. Yuichi reaches for her, and she moves into his arms.
Held close like this, the ocean teasing their toes, she feels as if she's on the verge of something big and unfamiliar.
"I'm going to love you forever," she says softly, watching the sun crash into the sea.
He smiles into her hair. "Thank you."
