Drabble: Push and Pull
Nov. 3rd, 2009 07:28 amThis is another one of those drabbles I wrote in the gift exchange at
atlaland, this time fore
suzukiblu. Her fanfic is seriously brilliant, and you can find it at
white_knuckle. Check it out.
Push and Pull
Yue stood thin and insubstantial in the grim half-light of the spirit world. “I am the moon for my people.”
La’s arms hung limp at his sides. “But you aren’t Tui. You can’t be Tui.”
The ocean spirit was crying, she realized, like a person, and she was the moon spirit, and every thing hurt and itched, and didn’t feel right. “I’m sorry,” she said the words falling flat.
His hand rested on her cheek, face slack with desperation. “I barely know you.”
She kissed him on the forehead and pulled away. “We don’t have to love each other yet.”
