Freefall - The Stars


Opalescence seats herself on the grass and looks to the sky. "It's
beautiful."

Vlair seats himself beside Opalescence beneath the starry night,
admiring the sky she looked upon. She hardly noticed he had taken
her hand into his at some point.'

Opalescence smiles softly, her gaze meeting his shyly. "Thank you for
coming.." She blinks, blushing fiercely when realizing her hand grasped
within his own. She smiles, lowering her gaze to the ground.

Vlair smiles comfortably, his pale skin fades beneath the shadows of
the night with dark accents, and he says "The pleasure's mine, my love.".

Opalescence raises her Ocean-blue eyes to his, a small smile tugging at
her rose-colored lips. The blush still faint in her soft cheeks, she
fidgets a little with the skirt of her dress with her free hand. "Thank
you.." She manages.

Vlair pulls Opalescence's hand to his chest, and recites a small poem,
oddly it all seemed to rhyme with the way the breeze rustled the grass
"Beneath the stars, and in our sight. Love and solemn enchantment
alight. You, my beauty, are my star tonight.".'

Opalescence blinks, watching him as he finishes the poem. She blinks again,
looking from his face to her hand on his chest. She blushes again, dark
lashes fluttering against her pale cheek. "You are very bold, sir."

Vlair with a calmed expression, replies, "I do feel the stars blink, and
their eyes, they shimmer, as boldy as any words spoken, and thus speak in
a language only understood by the eyes.". He looks upon Opalescence's paled
face with confidence, and smiles towards her.'

Opalescence smiles, slowly moving her hand to Vlair's cheek, her eyes
meeting his. "You are gifted with words, sir." She blushes a little,
biting down on her lip. "I'm afraid I cannot be as good with words as
you are."

Vlair replies "Your eyes speak much more than words, they speak truth.
My lady, your gift is in your beauty, and even when you speak, know that
your beauty speaks its heart. Speak for what you love, and all that's
spoken will glitter brightly."'

Opalescence smiles softly, boldly moving her other hand to his cheek,
cradling his face in her hands softly. "You flatter me." She whispers,
watching him. "You are.. special to me, Vlair."

Vlair closes his eyes as Opalescence holds his face in her palm, and
falls into trance like state. Barely smiling, barely even breathing.
He then tills his face slightly, and kisses her wrist softly.'

Opalescence blinks, blushing at the intimate action. Her hands tremble
softly, adverting her eyes to her hands..simply waiting to see what he
will do next,

Vlair opens his eyes, and takes her hand in his own. Reaching around her
he takes her into his arms, pulling her close to him, and touches his
cheek to hers. He breaths delicately upon her neck.'

Opalescence shivers, closing her eyes and wrapping her arms tightly around
him. "Forgive me for being so shy.." She whispers, leaning her head gently
against his.

Vlair holds her closely, running his pale and slender fingers through her
black flowing hair. "My lady, my life I thought had ended, and I thought
the feeling of love had ceased to exist for me." He pauses for a moment,
touching his lips to her ear softly, and continues in the most calm and
quiet whisper, "I have fallen in love, even after love had cried leaving
my soul so many years ago.". She does not see the tear brink his eye lid.'

Opalescence holds her breath, her hands gently moving to his shoulders.
"And.. the lady who has the honor of your love..?" She whispers, closing
her eyes, waiting his answer, daring to hope that perhaps she too, was
worthy of love.

Vlair smiles openly, and whispers ever so slightly bolder than before,
"My love, my sparkling star shining, that pale face I see when I close
my eyes; You, my beautiful night diamond. I love you.".'

Opalescence blinks, biting down on her lip to contain her tears. She
smiles, pulling away from him a little to look at him. Then, in a very
bold move, kisses his lips gently.

Vlair sighs a pleasing harmony with her acceptance, flowing with her lips
touching his, and kissing her for a forgotten length of time.'

Opalescence smiles, trailing her fingertips along huis cheek, looking
into his eyes. "I.. love you as well, Vlair.." She whispers, a bloodied
tear escaping her almond-shaped eye to trail down her cheek..

Vlair holds her in his arms, forgetting even his endarkened history, knowing
only her for the moment.'
