Heads Up
Heads Up.
Akito has a lot of time left in her life to heal. She surely needs that time to heal - to be able to smile without grimacing, to be able to use hands for caressing and not scratching.
Akito thinks she can start acting like a woman now. She still likes suits and ties, but she’d like to try on a dress too - maybe dresses that are a lot like the ones Tohru wears.
She’d like to feel pretty. She’d like to feel wanted - on someone’s individual volition and not because she makes them.
Akito wants to feel human for the first time. With Tohru’s smile in the back of her mind, always, she knows that she can.
Tails Down.
Shigure didn’t like this feeling. He didn’t know how to get it all back. It was impossible - the curse was over with, and that one special bond that had kept him grounded was now gone. She had spread wings and now she could fly.
He was rather sure she’d fly away.
But the feeling was new, different and somewhat tantalizing.
‘So this is what it feels like?’
He wondered, in turn, what it felt like to want someone that was not tied to him by cosmic force. And in that tantalizing nature, could he be strong enough to get her back?
Would she give him that chance? There was merit in such a chance opportunity, a turnabout of play that had unforeseen results.
Anxious and seduced by the opportunity, he wondered and yearned for such a game.
And there was plenty of time for such things - plenty of time for both of them.
