Despite the fact Fletcher and I are expecting visitors I end up out at the greenhouse where I lose track of time. Before I know it a voice behind me is saying, “I somehow knew I’d find you out here.”

I turn around and my response dies in my throat.

Black and gold. That’s what you are a vision of leaning in the doorway smirking at me in those leather pants, your hair loose and longer than I remember.

I’ve never believed in love, especially not at first sight, but lust... lust at first sight is a totally different ballgame.

****

 

Certain settings seem to make you wistful… I like you like that. The crassness and bravado tucked away for another time. Out on the roof on a starlit night you are speaking to me about infinity and how days are nothing more than grains of sand through an hourglass in the grand scheme of things. The look on your face this night will be forever etched on the back of my mind.

Looking into the sky you point at a shooting star. I look at you and think of how lucky I am to have had one land beside me.

****

 

I should have known where this was headed from the start.

From the moment the sound of your laughter made me smile, it was only a matter of time. From the instant looking in your eyes made my heart beat at an ungodly pace I should’ve known what road I was traveling on. But just as the tide must follow the pull of the moon I follow you wherever you may be.

You don’t question my presence and I don’t volunteer answers.

It’s funny how I didn’t believe in love until everything that is you, took ownership of my soul.

 

****

As I watched two lovers dance on the shoreline in the dying light of day, I feel sad even though the scene itself is one of beauty and joy. I had planned on commenting on this clash of sensation, but when I turn to face you, you kiss me.

Everything stopped.

The planet ceased rotating, stars fell from the heavens and even the very fabric of time stood still.

The golden eyes looking at me are alive with mischief even as the face they are set in is flushed.

I’m falling into you and I love every soul endearing moment.

****

Three days ago, you arrived on my doorstep. Wide eyed and looking as ready for action as ever. You offer to cook and I don’t object... it was the best grilled salmon I’ve ever eaten.

Twenty-two hours into your visit I knew I never wanted you to leave. Your laugh is infectious and I’ve smiled so much my face hurts... and I don’t care.

Ten minutes ago your train pulled out of the station and I’m still standing here staring after you like a love-struck moron... contemplating hopping on the next one and following you.

I’m in deep... way deep.

Aaaaahhhhhh I love it. This is one of my seekrit guilty pleasure pairings despite Russel being such a minor first!anime-original character (it has a lot to do with Tamiko's Baptism fic series over on y!). I love the composition of this, as it reads like a very fluid chain of memories streaming through Russel's mind; I imagine all of these drabbles together as a stream of recollection that Russel is experiencing as he stands there at the station forever looking like a freak. And because of that, it's very d'awww-worthy. I just want to be standing behind him so I can throw him into the next train when it arrives lol.

Thank you ever so much for taking time to leave such praise! *blushes* I too adore this pairing and write them often. Something about these two make me swoon.

And I think you shoving Russell on the next train would be just what he needs ^_^

I loved how romantic feeling the whole thing was and struck by how hauntingly sad the ending turned out to be... poor Russell!! Its just like Ed to blow into town, sweep a guy off his feet and then leave him high and dry... Great job dear... very well written!! :D

[lynx212.livejournal.com]

Thank you chic a dee. I love these two together and for whatever reason my muse has decided Russell is forever to be the one falling for Ed ^_^
