Author: seikochan
Pairing: Tsukino Usagi (Sailor Moon) x Seiya Kou (Sailor Star Fighter)
Fandom: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
Theme: #15. perfect blue
Rating: Slightly PG?
Disclaimer: Tsukino Usagi, Seiya Kou and Kakyuu-Ouhi do not belong to me, but to the astounding Naoko Takeuchi. If they did, the series would have ended a lot differently. A lot. *cough* Nor do I own MYMP's "Only Reminds Me Of You", from which I ganked a couple of lines to set the mood. (Haha. That sounded wrong. O_O)
A/N: This drabble is the first of a two-parter story thingamabob. This one is from Seiya (or Sailor Star Fighter's) point of view. Usagi's is here.
Everything was white, almost blinding to his eyes. But in his arms, he held a warmth and glow that he rarely felt, and so he embraced it wholeheartedly.
He was warm, so very warm. Not hot, but warm. He supposed it was from the warmth he held in his arms, which radiated the sensation all throughout his body. He had felt this before. It was as strong as the one he felt now. He could not call it his own, but the warmth was addicting, intoxicating, all-encompassing, and so he had held on for as long as he could.
Unbidden, a name entered his mind, and he spoke it aloud. The warmth in his arms shifted, and he realized that it was she that he held in his arms. A burst of emotion coursed through him; a wonderful, almost painful sensation burning in his chest.
She looked up at him, and he felt his heart melt. She was every inch as beautiful as he dared to remember, her blonde hair down from its usual style and pooling around their bodies, entwining with his own unbound hair to form a complicated design of gold and black.
Her eyes were impossibly wide, the bright blue reminding him of the sky and sea of a foreign planet, and all the wonderful blue things that were pure and good - everything she was. They swam with an emotion, something he had seen faintly in another's eyes, but raw and undisguised in the depths of her gaze.
'Beautiful,' he thought, and he bent down to kiss her.
Unlike the first brief, bittersweet kiss, this one was long and sweet, full of the emotions that he fought so hard to hide in reality. His heart soared as she responded in kind, and he moved his mouth desperately over hers, trying to convey all of the love he was not able to show. He whispered her name over and over against her lips, murmuring it into her mouth and cherishing the way she gasped his name before he captured her lips again.
Dimly, he realized that he never wanted to leave this reality. Brief flickers of rational thought reminded him gently of his duty, of the Starlights, of the Princess, but the warmth was consuming him, drowning out all logic and thought and leaving only the girl in his arms. His entire world was her, and it would collapse if she were to go.
All too soon, something pulled her away, and he only had one moment to catch her beautiful blue gaze before everything went black.

Fighter jolted awake to a dark room. Her hand passed over the candles on the bedside table and they flickered to life, lighting the room with a gentle golden glow.
The figure beside her shifted, and the Senshi's eyes softened as they fell on the slumbering form of her Princess. Fighter threaded her fingers gently through Kakyuu's hair, the crimson tresses let down from their usual ornamented style and flowing unbound across the pillows and sheets of the large bed.
Fighter smiled to herself. How odd ... In the candlelight, the Princess' hair almost looked golden.
A girl with shining blonde hair and laughing blue eyes came to mind. The Senshi shut her eyes, forcing the memory away.
"Fighter? Are you all right?"
She opened her eyes to find the Princess half-awake, looking up at her concernedly from beneath the sheets. Her sleepy vermilion eyes were filled with worry, and the girl's blue eyes flashed through her thoughts again. Fighter swallowed, and bent down to brush her lips against Kakyuu's forehead gently. "I am fine, Princess. Please go back to sleep. You have a meeting with those foreign dignitaries in the morning," she assured her.
Kakyuu shot her Senshi a slightly skeptical look, but gave in. She lay back down and quickly fell asleep, the exhaustion of rebuilding an entire planet overtaking her. Fighter kept a watchful eye on her, but the day's work also took its toll on the star Senshi.
Her last thoughts were of her liege, but in her somnolence, she did not question why the Princess' hair had lightened to a golden hue, and instead of a brilliant red, her eyes were a perfect blue.
