Late Goodbye | Room 74,240 | Aphro as Needed

As the full moon shone through the clouds above, the entire kingdom of Seyruun seemed to glow under the sliver rays, only further illuminating the stunning white architecture of the city. It was a place of white magic, of goodness and truth, where all were equal and life was happy and prosperous. However, to the usually happy princess of the land, ( Read more... )

It was from the full moon above that a pair of somber blue eyes watched the world below. The city of Seyruun stood out among the others, and not just because it was clearly visible from space. Though the leadership was at times misguided, the kingdom was a beacon of peace and prosperity the likes of had yet to be equaled save for the hidden kingdoms of the moon. Libraries, gardens, everything one could imagined finding in a virtual utopia was present both in Seyruun and within the Silver Millennium ( ... )

The healer heard the chimes, but her mind was still fogged over with the harsh bitter ache of what was to become of her to pay it much mind. Nothing could phase her anymore, nothing could match this feeling that was eating away at her very being. She almost wished inwardly that she had never been silly enough to allow herself to fall in love, but immediately regretted the thought ( ... )

Her heart ached in ways she'd never felt before, ever since reading the letter. Though she knew the reasons why, and her mind had accepted it, there was no getting over the way she felt. Logic failed her in that respect, because she hadn't even realized just how attached she'd felt to the other girl until that moment when she'd opened the envelope. Now she was standing there, draped in darkness and looking into the mirror. A mirror, that meant... Mercury took a tentative step back, but it was too late. She'd been seen, which left her with only one option ( ... )

Amelia did not have the will within her to be quiet or stealthy, sneaking around seemed so dishonorable, and that would make her no better than the evil people she had fought so hard to bring to Justice. She would set an example and make those villains change their ways. Unfortunately that often made the art of surprise a waste, but it couldn't be helped ( ... )

Those from the moon had to remain hidden, to allow the Earth to evolve and grow, but with the occasional bit of benevolent guidance. Mercury's presence there was out of line, she knew it and yet it hadn't stopped her. The 'everyone else is doing it' defense had been the first that came to her, but she'd stand up and defend her actions with her own words if it came to that ( ... )

Truthfully, the other girl's presense wasn't entirely unwelcome. It hurt, yes, very much. But surely this was better than the numbness that would become her life after tomorrow. The pain told her she was still alive, her heart beating for Mercury. Once the pain faded, she would be empty and lifeless, living as an shell of her former self ( ... )

Mercury was already thinking up possibilities, ranging from stealing Amelia away for herself to never seeing her again. No option was being overlooked, but of course some were far less likely than others. She would not harm the stability of the kingdom for her own purposes. To think only of herself, her wish to be with Amelia, no she couldn't risk starting a war to satiate her lonely heart. But there had to be a way, there was always a way ( ... )

Logic and reason had never been Amelia's strong points, she had often listened to her heart over her head, which tended to cause a lot of problems. Normally she wouldn't deny who she was, confident that her way of doing things was the best. True Justice came from morality and compassion, so trying to force a restrictive formula on it was pointless. For her kingdom though, for all those people who depended on her, she would forsake it for their safety, no matter how wrong it felt. Her happiness in comparison to so many lives was not important ( ... )

Words like duty and honor were hanging heavy on Mercury's mind. She couldn't stay on the Earth, she knew that, and yet she'd allowed her feelings to grow for the Earth princess in spite of knowing she shouldn't. Was this how Serenity felt, any time she was caught visiting Endymion? She never thought she'd understand how the moon princess felt until that very moment. Sometimes it was okay to bend the rules, right ( ... )

Amelia had her own responsibilities, and only of late had they all begun to weigh down on her. Soon she would be giving up her freedom to roam with friends, have adventures and bring Justice to the land. She would be confined to a castle, learning how to be a proper wife. 'Real' Queens had dignity, and didn't off gallavanting through the country. As if this wasn't bad enough, she'd be leaving her home, the place were she grew up, and the place that had brought her together with Mercury. Fate was truly trying to sever all ties they shared ( ... )

It didn't matter to Mercury that Amelia would be located in another place. One thing about the moon was it shone everywhere, which made anywhere easily accessible to her with a little work. Would it be right to sneak around once she was married though? It was a tough question, one that she didn't have an answer for and one she'd need time to ponder. It didn't matter now, because the night belonged to them. Tomorrow would be difficult, but they'd always have their fond memories ( ... )

For the time they had, however brief, Amelia almost felt like the world could stop turning, the sun wouldn't rise, and they could enjoy this for eternity. Even then, it would all pass too quickly, but at least they wouldn't be wasting away the moments feeling sorry for themselves.

The white magic user allowed herself to melt into the hold, responding to the tenderness with her own as their mouths met again. She could feel sparks in her chest at every soft bit of friction between them, making her sigh. One hand roamed the others back, carressing in a soothing fashion as doubts slipped away until they were gone. Nothing else mattered that what she wanted right then and there, and the girl knew exactly what she was so desperate for.

"I'd like to show you, if you'd let me." she whispered back, going back to kissing the other princess. However, she didn't stay still, soon moving her lips across Mercury's cheek, briefly pausing to nibble at her ear, before sliding down her neck and throat, leaving a trail of nips and licks along the way.

Mercury didn't want to feel sorry for herself or for Amelia. There were too many pleasant memories there in her heart to ignore in favor of the unhappier ones. There would be time later, time to think and to plot even, but Amelia was right, all they needed to do tonight was feel. And she wanted to feel happy ( ... )

The healer sighed against Mercury's neck, her breath tickling the skin as she continued to explore. Up until tonight things had been rather chaste between them. Yes there had been touches and kisses, but both felt it wouldn't be terribly proper, particularly in case they were spotted. They didn't need the gossip spreading before Amelia got the chance to tell her father the entire story. That hesitance was gone now, as it seemed neither of them wanted to part with regrets ( ... )

Those brief moments before where they'd thrown caution to the wind had at first left Mercury feeling awkward and embarrassed. She knew that Amelia would always be recognized in Seyruun because of who she was, but to make matters worse she'd caught Venus and Jupiter both sneaking around to see what she was up to. That was one reason she had opted so often to meet Amelia in the library, knowing the other two girls would become easily lost inside. The other reason was she felt the most comfortable there. A touch to the cheek and a tender kiss on the lips, it had seemed so much before ( ... )

Naturally Seyruun was an important kingdom, so having their princess in a relationship was a big deal. It might have been self centered in the understanding of her position, but Amelia didn't want her romantic life to be the latest polictical topic of the land. Hence why she had decided to wait to tell her father about it. It worked for both of them, as even though she never questioned Mercury's own situation, not wanting to pry, she knew the other girl was rather skittish for some reason, as if she was worried she too was being watched. Still, the healer couldn't complain; all the stolen bits of affection were well worth it ( ... )
