"You're doing it again."
Her voice, lilting, yet carrying the sweet hint of suggestion reserved for midnight reveries, carried across to him from the doorway of the changing room, sounding more to him like verse than prose. The light, fading away behind her as the fixtures dimmed, silhouetted her approach. Like a wraith, she descended upon him, fingers of a ringed right hand brushing backwards across his exposed cheek. A flutter lifted his heart.
"Midori? What're you--"
"Shhh. Aewyn, darling. Be silent for now."
Curling through his hair, those fingers found purchase, pulling his head up to meet her lips as she kneeled by the side of his bed, like some strange intruder come to take, but not his belongings. Pulsing green, the message diode on the vision phone was the only illumination besides the reflection of light off Neudaiz in the port window.
"But Midori, you've been--"
She cut him off with a loud sigh, flattening her hand against the back of his head and pulling it into the crook of her neck and shoulder. Feeling chided, Aewyn stayed silent, looking very much put out even in the dark. A bubble of a giggle escaped her throat, seeping out her lips as the sexiest release of pent up breath he'd heard in his waking life.
"Nevermind what I've been, darling. You need to listen to me now. This is important, okay?"
There was a pause as she waited for him to nod his assent. He did.
"You must become a Guardian."
Her hand was already flat on his chest and expectantly she pushed him right back down to the bed as he began to get up.
"I know how you feel about this SEED mess, love. So many have been hurt, and so many more will be before this is even begun to near the end of the beginning."
Her eyes glittered in the limited light, breaking his heart as it had only been broken once before.
"Aewyn, my love, you are everything I ever wanted; but more, less, and the same."
D:):):):):):) a hand across his cheek, she smiled beatifically. Inside his heart, Aewyn felt little twines snap as he was suddenly breathing hard, fast... and alone, in his room. Panicking, his right hand slapped the control panel along the runner of his bed, flooding the room in amber light.
Her picture hung just above his vision phone, and as he turned to examine it, the tears brimming over in his eyes rolled down his cheeks.
