(A Silver Ash fic)
Ling + Lucy
***
Ling smiled softly to himself, he felt so happy and proud as he saw Lucy step out of the changing room. Ling sighed, Lucy looked beautiful like an angel, with his soft blue hair all pinned up and a silver tiara. He looked so innocent and pretty as he solemnly walked over to Ling with the soft fluffy angel wings on his back. Even Hong smiled seeing Lucy, and Zheng blinked as though he thought Lucy was a real angel…
Shyly Lucy stopped in front of Ling looking down at him and wondering what he would say about his clothes. Nervously he began to wring his hands together before speaking, “do you think the dress suits me?” he spoke softly, his cheeks turning crimson. Ling pouted and looked at Lucy closely. Ling slowly let his eyes study Lucy’s clothes; he looked at the slender body and the bare shoulders. His body was only covered by the soft smooth white dress tight around his upper body and loose and flowing from his waist. Ling felt something melting in his heart, Lucy looked an angel for the perfect wedding, or else the perfect bride.
Ling smiled even more as he saw Lucy’s tender and shy face, he longed to reach up and touch his face, tell him he was beautiful, but it didn’t seem like the right time, especially with Hong and Zheng watching. Before Ling could say a word about his clothes Hong came over to them.
“Wah! So pretty Lucy! But are you trying to copy Mana?” he teased towering above Lucy… Lucy pouted and shook his head, “No! Ling designed it…not me!” he spoke defensively. Hong shrugged his shoulders and smiled down to Lucy and Ling.
“Hello! Lucy! Who designed all our clothes?” Hong said smirking and poking his tongue out at Lucy… Ling sighed and then stood up slowly pushing the two band members apart…
“Please don’t fight!” Ling pleaded, “I hate to see you guys fight!” Lucy nodded and smiled to Ling, what ever Ling said Lucy would usually follow. Hong sighed and then submissively nodded, “ok. Sorry.”
Hong turned around and walked away to sit with Zheng. Zheng grinned to Ling and Lucy and then patted Hong on the shoulder, “what’s wrong?” he asked softly so that the others wouldn’t hear.
“Look at Lucy!” Hong sharply said looking at the pretty guitarist.
“Yes? What about him?” Zheng asked frowning as he looked at Lucy.
“I saw your face, I saw Ling’s face and I know what I felt when I saw Lucy come out. He’s beautiful.” Hong spoke with a tinge of sadness.
Zheng looked worried, “are you jealous?”
Ling shook his head, “I just want to know why Ling designed my clothes like a devil with scary make-up and made Lucy like an angel!” he sighed, “I don’t mind looking like this!” he looked down at himself, knowing his own image was scary, “but why?”
Zheng shook his head. Hong stood up and smiled down to him, “I guess its just me huh? Or maybe Ling has something for Lucy?” he smirked and then walked away.
Zheng turned to face Lucy and Ling now, wondering if Hong was right, maybe there was something between the two, he closely began to watch them…
Lucy gulped and bit his tongue, obviously Ling hated his image, he hadn’t said a word about it just stared with big eyes at Lucy. Sadly he turned away and forlornly walked back to the changing room to change back to his usual clothes. He felt so sad and it was a waste, he felt terrible for not being able to wear the clothes that had taken Ling so long to design.
His head was bowed as he stepped away from Ling sadness was filling hid breast. Ever since he had been a part of Ling’s life he had wanted to please Ling any way he could, he had been in love with him ever since then. So it hurt him when Ling was hurt, which was what made Lucy so determined to do his best and help Silver Ash to get somewhere.
“Lucy!” Ling softly called from the couch. Lucy turned back feeling ashamed but now he allowed himself to look at Ling. He nearly collapsed onto Ling, because Ling looked stunning dressed in tight and short sexy leather shorts. Lucy bit his lip letting his eyes go higher up to the soft fluffy sleeveless shirt that Ling was wearing. Lucy couldn’t help him self from grinning madly at Ling, it was so obvious who Ling liked especially with the pink hair.
Lucy controlled himself and wiped the smile of his face, instead he adopted a porcelain doll expression, “yes, Ling?”
“I didn’t tell you how beautiful you look did I?” Ling spoke huskily, crossing his legs and stretching his arms out along each side of the couch.
And I didn’t tell you how sexy you look!
Lucy blushed, “No, you didn’t…” he trailed off, feeling ridiculous for saying that! Ling smiled warmly, “I feel so happy and so proud to see you wearing this! You look like an angel! So much prettier than Mana!” he smiled and the motioned for Lucy to sit beside him.
Lucy sat down a warm feeling flooding his body, he felt so relaxed and at ease now, “well…I can easily see who you like!” he said with a giggle as he looked at Ling. Now Ling blushed, “me? What do you mean?”
Lucy stuck his tongue out at Ling, “excuse me? But who does Ling talk about non-stop in the interviews? Hmm?” Ling turned ever redder and shook his head trying to deny it.
“Come on Ling! We all know you like Kaoru!” Lucy said grinning, he slapped Lings thigh lightly and winked, “although you seem to be trying to mix Sugizo and Kaoru’s styles together now!”
Ling stuck his tongue out at Lucy, “You want me to continue to design your clothes? If so…stop teasing me!” Lucy poked his tongue out, “teasing? Me? Never!” Ling laughed he had always had so much fun with Lucy! When he was with Lucy he could even forget about how little money they had and how expensive it cost for them to do anything.
The pair continued to laugh for a few moments but then Ling stopped he looked serious as he leaned back thinking hard about what Lucy had said. Finally he turned his head towards Lucy and with big innocent eyes he spoke, “you mean its doesn’t look nice?” he sounded sad and Lucy’s heart pounded in his head.
“No, you look sexy.” Lucy smiled and then froze, did I really say that a loud just now? He turned pale and quickly turned away from Ling, now I have done it! Ling knows…I just basically told him! Lucy shut his eyes and lowered his face into his palms, his heartbeat was rapid and he had to take deep breaths to try and cool down.
Suddenly Lucy’s face was lifted and surprised he opened his eyes, meeting Ling’s serious ones which seemed to gaze so strongly they almost burned Lucy. Ling cupped Lucy’s chin with one hand and held his face firmly, “did you just say what I think you said?” Ling’s voice sounded strange to Lucy, he had never heard Ling talk this way before… Lucy’s throat was dry, he had nothing to say at all…he didn’t know what to say or how to say it and so stayed silent.
“Lucy? Why don’t you speak? Did you just say I looked sexy?”
Lucy blushed and lowered his eyes, “yes. But not only that.” His voice was barely audible as he whispered those words. Ling blinked his eyes and his face looked suddenly perplexed, “what do you mean not only that?”
Lucy took a deep breath and then shut his eyes, “I like you…” he whispered gently, not brave enough to see Ling’s face and reaction. Lucy trembled, it took such tremendous effort to get those words out. He wanted to open his eyes but he couldn’t. The next thing he knew soft lips were pressed against his momentarily. Lucy gasped and his eyes fluttered open beautifully, Ling was smiling and looking straight into his eyes too.
“I like you too!” Ling said softly, “I thought you would never like me!” Lucy gasped and blinked his eyes rapidly, was Ling serious? He narrowed his eyes down and closely studied his face; he was serious! Lucy felt so happy that he felt like he could fly now! Ling smiled tenderly towards Lucy and then hugged him tight, “can I be your koi?” he asked gently and Lucy nodded his head…
Zheng snorted smiling as he saw and heard Lucy and Ling’s conversation, “god you two, copying Kaoru and Toshiya!”
Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at Zheng, “Pardon? How are we?”
Zheng grinned; “Well…” he spoke softly, “lets think about it. You have pink hair and are crazy about Kaoru. Lucy has blue hair and is crazy about you…Toshiya has blue hair and Kaoru has pink hair too! So you guys just remind me of them!”
“Oh.” Ling nodded and grinned to him, winking to both Zheng and Lucy as he hugged Lucy, “I guess we were inspired by them huh?”
Zheng nodded laughing, “I’m going to find Hong now, I’ll see you guys later!” he stepped out leaving Ling and Lucy all alone in the studio…they began to talk and talk…
