Wrote this a while ago, about Andy and Dion. This was the only time they ever separated and it's after they're cursed the second time.
Say Hey
Eleven months, six days, nine hours. Stopped short of counting the minutes and the seconds, but only barely. Pretty obsessive, right? At least it hasn't been the full year, but damned if it wasn't close. Too damned close for comfort and damned if it wouldn't be.
Standing in the airport, bouncing on the calls of his feet, holding fast to his bag. It's dark red and leather, embroidered in black with runes from other worlds. He's flushed, delicate, lovely, deadly, and no one approaches him as he waits.
Twelve minutes, and he's tempted to start praying.
"Come on, baby," he mutters.
Checks his watch compulsively, and the seconds crawl like decades.
"Come on," he says, again, a little louder, and draws a glance from a passing traveler. A look at his coal black eyes and ruby red hair and ice white flesh, though, a look at his burning dead life and she next to runs by .
Thirteen minutes.
Those black eyes are flashing, and he doesn't even notice that they're starting to glow.
At fourteen minutes his hair has grown points and the people who notice are half-panicked or very sad.
"Come on, come on."
It's been too long.
When the plane finally lands, it's twenty minutes and he's almost vibrating. He can feel her in the air. Feel her presence, her soul, her love and scent of her is overwhelming. He takes a deep breath and tried to calm down, to regain some composure because he knows she's got at least another few weeks in her.
"Andy," he whispers, and it's like grace.
Louder. "Andromeda."
And then she appears. In brightness and boldness with blood red hair and jet black eyes and snow white flesh that's all sharpening as he watches and then smooths again as their eyes glow and meet.
"Andy," he says, again.
They meet in the middle, and embrace like lovers in the airport. He kisses her soft hair and inhales her warmed scent, and he feels like he's got eternity in his arms.
She smiles and sighs, and meets his warm cherub's gaze as she says, "Hello little brother. Did you miss me?"
