The tender hand on her cheek made her shiver, and she smiled a little as they kissed. His rough fingers against her neck made her shiver as much as he, and she felt her fingers fist his shirt slightly to stop their trembling. When he stood, she rest her head against his chest, breathing almost raggedly.
Even when she'd killed Yevon, killed Sin, she hadn't been half so elated. This was the beginning of a new life for the both of them. No matter what happened, they'd have this moment, this trust and joy. As long as he loved her, he could do whatever he wanted. As long as his heart was hers, and hers his, she'd be content.
When he told her her eye makeup was going to run, she laughed a little. "I'm sorry. You know, I normally don't feel comfortable enough to cry around people. And yes, that would be... yes." She intertwined the fingers of her left hand with his, smiling to herself. "Now nobody's going to be able to spell my last name either, you know."
