Description
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face

-- Roberta Flack (First Take, 1969) | Listen >>

With the moonlight cascading over her body through the window, Abrielle seductively slid into the bed, but noticed Zero trembling, unable to look at her. "What's wrong, Zero?" she asked.

"I've..." he stammered in a shaky voice. "I've never..."

She looked at him and saw his face filled with a mingled sense of uncertainty and fear.

"Zero, it's okay," she said, gently placing a hand upon his chest, feeling his heart beating madly. "It's okay. Just relax."

He closed his eyes, ashamed. "I feel like a fool," he muttered. "I mean, look at me. I'm a nervous wreck and I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Some man I am."

Abrielle wrapped her other arm around his neck and pulled him in closer until he could feel her breath on his lips. "Listen to me," she commanded. "I love you, Zero. I love you very much. You are not a fool, and it's okay to be a little scared. I was, too. I will still love you no matter what."

Gently, she placed her lips onto his; a soft kiss of reassurance. "No matter what," she whispered as she pulled away, a small smile upon her face.

He felt a warmth in his eye, but the lone tear that inevitably cascaded down his cheek was not one of sadness, but of unbridled love and respect he had for her, just as he had felt the first time he had seen her face. He looked deep into her eyes, and she could see just how much love he felt for her.

Slowly, cautiously, she leaned to him again; and he leaned toward her; and their mouths found each other in a more passionate kiss before they would find themselves encapsulated by love's embrace under the pale light of the moon shining through the window.

-----------------------------------------

Okay...so...yeah. Zero's first...uhm...experience, you might say. But he was smitten by her from day one, and for some reason, this song kept creeping into my mind when envisioning their "preparation" so-to-speak. Not smutty, but you get the idea of what went on.

I wanted to envision Zero being timid and nervous over something like this despite his attempt at having a more abrasive exterior. Hope I was able to achieve this despite my serious lack of artistic ability when comparing to the likes of so many others than could easily render this in a more visually appealing way. Hey, if you want to do so, I'd be both honored and intrigued at how an OC of mine would be drawn by other hands more talented than mine....just please don't turn it into something *too* adult-like, if you know what I mean.
