This is my first songfic-I hope you like it. Bye! More author’s notes at the end! “Kiss Me At Midnight” by *N SYNC. *^~Cephirie~^*
Amelia turned to face him, her eyes big and blue as usual-smiling face as beautiful as can be. Zelgadis felt his heart jump into his throat and stop beating once he set his eyes upon her face. An angel she truly was. Lina and Gourry, along with the others were moving into the next room to wait for the clock to strike twelve.
The room-still decorated with red and white was dimly lit. Zelgadis’ legs still carried him closer to Amelia. This was the night they had both been waiting for. Amelia-a princess shining with beautiful blue eyes-waiting for him…
Slow music playing in the distance-the air was crisp with the scents of cinnamon and mint. Amelia-only feet away, felt like her legs were gone-she was standing-but she didn’t know how. Zelgadis was coming towards her-handsome as ever and smiling slightly. The anticipation was making her body tremble. The slight breeze rustled her dress around a bit-placing her hair in her face slightly. He stopped.
Zelgadis drew in a shaky breath and remembered all the times they were together. The smiles-the laughs-the tears-and the close calls. She had always been a good friend to him-he was a man in her eyes-not a monster. He felt happy in her presence-her smile illuminating the whole room. His heart was bursting-hers was pounding like a drum.
Zelgadis took another step closer to her and placed a hand on the side of her face. All the nervousness faded away for the both of them. The warmth of her skin-the smile on her face-the whole environment was no longer there-only her. Amelia looked up into his eyes-not cold or hardened like his stone skin-but warm and loving.
Zelgadis leaned down to meet her face and kissed her tenderly. Amelia fell into his arms and returned the sweet kiss lovingly. Her hands on his chest-his around her back-their minds almost gone. A jumble of thoughts-rational and not-raced through them, along with the pleasure of being in each other’s arms. The magnetism between the two made the kiss passionate-and yet special and so very sweet and tender.
The sweetness of her lips overwhelmed Zelgadis-the whole event shocked Amelia out of her skin. The strength of his arms around her-the way he kissed her-it was all a moment that would never be forgotten. Zelgadis broke the kiss-Amelia collapsed into his chest-smiling, she wrapped her arms around his back, he too held her tight within his own arms.
“Amelia-I never want to let you go again.”
“I would do anything for that Zelgadis-anything for you to never stop hugging me.”
The two kissed again, and this time-Zelgadis placed his hands on her hips and lifted her feet from the floor and spun around. Amelia broke the kiss, wrapped her arms around his neck and cried tears of joy onto his shoulder as they danced. Her dress spinning out around her as they twirled in each other’s arms. He stopped and looked into her eyes. He placed his hands on her face and rubbed away the tears with his thumbs.
Zelgadis smiled and pulled her back to him, hugging her tenderly and sending a whirlwind through his mind trying to find a way to describe what he was feeling. Amelia too searched her mind-was it truly love-it had to be! If it wasn’t-what kind of crush was this?
Amelia looked up at him and bit her lip, trying to stop the constant flow of tears to her eyes. Zelgadis kissed away the tears. Amelia clenched her fists into the fabric of his suit. Zelgadis just couldn’t stop smiling-it was like his face was stuck that way. They both stood in the middle of the ballroom-chanting from the next room echoing through the halls.
Lina and Gourry’s chanting was ever-present-plenty of wine in their systems--screaming out above the others’ countdown. Philionel was directing the bunch-champagne in hand-red nose and bloodshot eyes-too much champagne.
Sylphiel and Xellos sat in the corner-simply sipping on their wine and chatting about how everything was going in Sairaag. Zangulus and Martina were also in the bunch of rambling-chanting fools-but they were too busy kissing to chant. Nahga was in disguise as a red-head and slurring her chant between knocking back her wine mixes.
Zelgadis and Amelia were standing still-awaiting the final number one. They looked directly into each others’ eyes, as if searching their souls.
Time seemed to stand still. There was no sound whatsoever-other than the sound of each other breathing. The room was nothing but a pitch black void. Nothing was there in their eyes-only each other.
“Amelia-I love you and I’ll never let you go again, I promise. You don’t have to do anything-you love me as I am-I love you as you are.”
Amelia smiled and hugged him as tightly as her arms would allow. She dug her face into his chest and cried. Finally “one” sounded out through the halls and a great yelling and screaming-whooping and hollering came from the other room-though it wasn’t even noticed.
Zelgadis and Amelia kissed once more-the light from the moon shining in-their love for each other was all that mattered now. Love in the air-drunks in the other room-and love finally found.
