Description
Chie stepped close, her hips touching Yousuke's as the words suddenly jumped from her tongue, almost without her bidding:

“I'd rather not have anything at all,” she murmured, “than not have you.” And she rose up on her toes, to press her mouth to his in a soft and sealing kiss.

She had had no intention of lingering there against his lips as they stood together on the path, but for some reason, she did, as fervently as if this were the last time she'd be able to spend such a peaceful and perfect moment in the embrace of his love.

She wrapped her arms fiercely around his neck as he did the same with his arms around her waist, the brief second of their kiss extending out to perhaps a minute or more as she felt a sudden wind swirl about them, rustling the autumn leaves up from the ground and around them. If they'd been standing in Mayonaka and not on the familiar path to the ryokan that she knew so well, she almost would have thought that he'd cast a spell of Garudyne about them, to corkscrew up along the odd pillar of their conjoined bodies, ruffling the edges of her skirt and their hair, pushing them closer together and stealing the air from their lungs.

As it was, she felt a dizzying rush in her brain as she finally stepped back onto her heels, his mouth clutching to hers until the very last moment. And when they parted, they both gave a long exhalation, as if they'd been holding their breath against a whirlwind much more powerful than the spiraling breeze that still curled around them.

Very late submission for the 2011 #Persona-pairings theme week (Thursday, "Autumn Wind"). I know that I already did a submission for this particular theme, but I've been wanting to draw this somewhat magical moment (the scene quoted above, that is) from my P4 flash-forward story "1 More Chance!" for a long time. (This scene takes place in Chapter 54 .)

The original is a pretty small drawing (about 5" high), so some of the details are lacking, especially in the faces. But I was hoping to save my Prismacolor flesh-tone pencils for a while!

Hope you enjoy!
