| | I don't really have much to say about this one. It's another Trunks and
Butterfly story (don't you just love 'em? xD), and it's also another
kind of sad one. Once again, I think I probably butchered it while
trying to put it into words, but oh well. ^^;
Now that I think of it, most people probably won't get this one
since...well, since I haven't explained it. xP I've begun a new little
theory that it's a curse that keeps Butterfly in the Realm of the
Living, and the curse was placed on her because she fell in love with
Trunks (I know...the whole "forbidden love" thing is so
overused -.-). So the curse is something like having to die 1,000
tragic deaths or something crazy like that...I haven't exactly worked
out all the details yet, and, like I said, it's only a theory. ^^; I
may decide to just throw it out in the end. xD And even this story
probably isn't going to be in the grand scheme of things.
In case you haven't realized it yet, I love
playing around with the different ways that Butterfly could die. I
mean, I've probably thought up at least 10 possibilities today alone,
but I just can't bring myself to kill her off completely. >.<
That's where the curse kinda comes in, since I like having her die but
I don't actually want to take her out of the "story" completely (she's
actually a part of an even bigger story...if you can imagine that!).
^^; That reminds me - another part of the curse is that she loses
something everytime she comes back. Once it was her ability to have
children, once it was her sight, and now they're afraid that she'll
lose her ability to love (or something like that). I needed a reason
why they were so sad about her dying since she would just come back
anyway, and that happened to occur to me as a good reason. xD
Wow...Reading through this, I think I sound like a total lunatic. Dx Ah
well, at least I don't have any loyal fans who would be upset about me
changing things a little. ^^; Eh...and I still keep forgetting to put
that one story up here. >.< *just realized that it's actually
pretty vital to understanding this story and the last one* I think I'll
get started on that now, actually....Anyway, enjoy!
"Butterfly...Just tell me how long until this thing kills you." He had
his back turned to her, but she could hear the shaking in his voice. It
was obvious he didn't want to look at her, not after...
She had stayed silent before, but now
it was time for her to tell him the truth. He had the right to know...
"A couple months, maybe," was her quiet reply. Her heart jerked as she
heard a sob escape from his throat; he turned around now, and she could
feel the sense of determination that was growing inside him.
"I'll find a way to make this right,"
he said as he grabbed her hand, still speckled with small drops of
dried blood. "I promise I will."
"Trunks..." she whispered, her
unseeing emerald eyes filling with tears. She knew what was coming -
the promises he would make, the words of hope that he would say to her,
the passion that would be held within those lovely words, the sadness
that would come when she realized that their desperate hopes were
impossible to fulfill....
"Someday," he began, his deep blue
eyes sparkling with excitement, "we'll rule the Heavens together, you
and I. We'll bring changes to this world...no more violence, or wars,
or...or murder, or crime, or pain...And just think about it; they'll
all be waiting for us up there. I can already see Snow's face smiling
at me when...Butterfly, I'll find a way to make you human again. Then
you could live a normal life with a husband and kids and everything,
and when you got old and it was time for you to die...you'd return to
me. You'd return to the Heavens to be with me, and then no one could
keep us apart! You'd stay by my side forever up there...and it wouldn't
matter how scarred or torn your body was, because you'd always be
beautiful up there. And...you'd be free, Butterfly. I would set you
free, to fly above the clouds and do as you please without worrying
about curses. I could even make you into a real butterfly if you
wanted...I would do anything for you, my angel, and most importantly
we'd be together...forever."
How silly it all seemed; he was only one man, one single guy trying to
fight reality for the sake of the women he loved. He was always
terribly stubborn, after all..."And what would I give you in return, my
prince?"
She felt rather than saw his handsome smile. "Your happiness is the
only thing I want...Your happiness, and your love, are all that I ask
for in return." A tear rolled down her pale cheek, unchecked by any
hand that may have wiped it away. In a moment she had wrapped her arms
around his waist and her head was buried in his muscular chest.
"You're such a fool..." her voice was muffled by his body, but he heard
her all the same. His smile grew even bigger as he wrapped his strong
arms around his lover.
"Ah, but I'm your fool, my love."
The end. ^.^
