Thaw (Celes, FFVI)
Title: Thaw
Fandom: FFVI
Characters/Pairings:Celes, mention of Locke
Rating: PG
Spoilers/Warnings: none
Summary: Celes has an affinity for the cold
Spring is cold in Kohlingen. Water runs in rivulets from mountain peaks, gathers, feeds into burgeoning rivers. Snow lines the banks, white on dark, broken by the green shoots of crocuses.
Locke thinks she's mad for bathing in those glacial streams - says she'll catch her death, though she reminds him every time that it hasn't happened yet. The water is bracing, swift with runoff, a welcome chill. Currents slip through her fingers, stealing heat and promising springtime.
Water, like death, is no easy thing for her to catch. She's long since learned to give up trying, and let it go.
