Drabble: Push and Pull

This is another one of those drabbles I wrote in the gift exchange at [info]atlaland, this time fore [info]suzukibluHer fanfic is seriously brilliant, and you can find it at [info]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.”

Now this is interesting. Usually when I see just-turned-moon-Yue fic, she's already adapted and inhuman. This is different- and very sweet.

Lol, and you get to see that I can't come up with titles.

I actually want to explore a more human moon!Yue and Tui and La a bit more. They'll show up again in drabbles.
