under the moonlight

She didn't know what to do. If only the world would allow her to be with Indigo, then everything would be okay. He had her heart. She still didn't understand, other than the problems with children, why it was so bad. She didn't want children and could easily avoid having them, so why couldn't they be together? It wasn't fair. She had been told that even her father's empress had been in a relationship with her brother. It was good enough for the empress, but it wasn't good enough for them? It was all so confusing.

Indigo kissed her forehead and Asla's eyes drifted closed. She curled herself into his side and sighed. She didn't want to say it, but she felt that she had to. "I think..." it was so hard and there was a lump in her throat as she said it. "I think we need to try and love other people." Within the girls chest, her heart screamed in anguish. "We're never going to be free to be together, so it might save us both in the long run." She didn't want to see Indigo with another girl, but if he could move away from her and learn to love someone else, she might be relieved. She didn't want him to be in pain all the time. Not like they were now.
