Yay! New oneshot! Lessee... Saki and I are doing a tradeoff. I'm gonna write a oneshot for each of our pairings and she's gonna do the same. I thought I'd start this one off with a new pair that works for both the tradeoff and the 100 themes. :D

Pinch Me, I'm Dreaming
----
Ow. Sunlight.
I never really liked sunlight to begin with. Most types like myself never do, really. There’s something about the sunlight today, though. It doesn’t hurt as much. The last time it felt that way was when I was in some place that made me forget about the stinging light.
Come to think about it… the room feels alien, too.
I sit up, glancing at the sleeping form beside me. Tense, I feel my fingers clutch at the bedsheets, feeling the silk beneath my fingers wrinkle ever so slightly when I realize who lay next to me last night. I can’t help but smile, though. She looks so beautiful here, now. Everything’s quiet and I am too, just awed by this being who makes me forget all about the sunlight. I think I’d even brave the sunlight to see her.
My hand quivers a little as I reach out, lightly touching her hair. She stirs slightly but doesn’t wake. I stay put a moment before slipping close and stroking her hair in a slow steady calming rhythm. She’s like nothing I’ve never experienced.
No demon has ever tasted heaven but I can now say I have.
I guess I’m the first.
I feel her move, lying on her side to face me. And here I was hoping that I didn’t wake her with my curious hands. She smiles softly up at me, almost sleepily and I start to wonder if this was some sort of waking dream for me. If it was, then gods, never wake me up. My eyes meet her blue and I find myself unable to do anything but blush, seeing her lying there suggestively. Last night was no dream. Far from a dream.
“Tenshi…” I hear her call to me using my secret name.
I smile back, sinking into the sheets next to her. “I’m here, princess.” I finally say, gently nuzzling against her to assure her of this. I can’t help but sigh, feeling her so close and so warm. She takes my hand, meeting my eyes as she does so. This close. This near.
How could I resist her?
She draws me in close, kissing me softly and reminding me why I lingered here a moment more. I feel my body weaken, overwhelmed by the kiss and the warmth of her body as I lie there next to her skin to skin. She draws me in closer, slipping an arm around my waist and keeping me close in a secure embrace and stopping me from drawing away even as we break our kiss. I stay there obediently as any lover, any pet.
Mortal men often ask me what heaven’s like as I ferry their souls across the Sanzou* river. I just stay quiet most of the time. Those I bring sometimes aren’t meant to know the answer seeing as it would be too much torture for them to know what they’re missing. To the others, I give an enigmatic ”You’ll know when you get there”. I never gave a straight answer.
That’s only because I never had a straight answer.
Until today.
This must be heaven. Right here. With my princess.
It’s really good to hear your voice
Saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
It makes me weak
*Yes, according to Buddhist mythology, that IS what it’s called. Stop laughing!
Yes, shut it. Shin's uke. :p
