(no subject)
I got addicted to the 1sentence community. So, I decided to do a Gravitation one for, and I know this will shock everyone, Mika and Tohma. I attempted to make it a coherent bit of writing, and succeeded in parts and not so much in other. :P
Anyway, rated T for naughty implications and use of the word 'sex'.
#01 Motion
When Mika comes to bed she tosses aside her jacket and pushes Tohma down with one swift, smooth motion.

There is a breeze from the open window as they begin to kiss and Tohma’s cool hands slip underneath Mika’s shirt to touch her warm back.
#03 Young

#04 Last
Someday it will be for the last time - be the parting a divorce or death or indifference or a simple lack of desire.

‘And, if the end is near or far, it seems wrong to waste the time worrying when now will suffice,’ Mika says as she leans away and slips off her bra.

#11 Blur

A shadow of something that could have been lurks behind Tohma, and he tries to ignore it along with all the other lost chances that torment him at night.

#29 Safe

But there is always one other ghost that lingers between them, even when they are locked in their most passionate embraces; the ghost of a man Tohma hated, a man Mika never met and yet despises.

The ghost that has been the muse for many books, and curses filled with violent passion.
#32 Eye
The ghost of a man whose eyes wandered where they should not have, and who paid the price with his life.
#33 Never
Mika often mutters to herself how Eiri should never have gone to New York, and when Tohma hears her, he cannot disagree.
