How Do I Live Without You?

Posted Sep 21, 2007, 11:11:21 AM UTC

"If you knew what I was REALLY like, you'd be disappointed," Nana told him, bowing her head and hiding her eyes behind her hands.

Nobuo looked at her sadly, not knowing how to get his point across.

Smiling softly and closing his own eyes, he spoke softly.  "Then please, let me down.  Maybe that's what I need."

Nana looked up at him, surprised.  She had tears in her eyes that hadn't yet spilled.

"Otherwise," he continued, "I don't know how else I can..."  With love in his eyes, he finally let go.  "...give you up."

She looked surprised, hurt, hopeful, and unworthy at the same time; a tear finally let loose, running a river down her face.  He simply looks at her like a man who had poured his heart out, waiting to be crushed.

A moment later, she flew into his arms, and he grasped for her.

 

*sigh*  I LOVE NANA. 

If you don't know, these two are Nana (Hachi) and Nobuo (Nobu) from the manga NANA.  There is an anime as well, but I like the manga better.  It's one of my favorite manga - it gets really addictive, with all the drama.  I even have the live action movie in Japanese!  ^_^   This is one of my fave moments in the manga, and as I was inspired by one of my friends at PaperDemon, I decided that I needed to do something NOT involving any of the InuYasha characters.  Hence the NANA scene you see here.  YES - this is not original.  I did NOT trace it, but it's by hand (if you couldn't tell by the many mistakes, lol).  I plan on inking it eventually and resubmitting it, once the scanner is hooked up... Hopefully I can fix this up more and make it pretty, as well as scan it, since the photo makes it look like I turned on a sepia filter, lol.  BTW - A song inspired the title for this.  It's called "How Do I Live?" by Leanne Rimes.  Very beautiful and soulful - went perfect with the pic.

Art (c) me.   Sorry I had to put my mark on there, but I don't want anyone taking it to say it's theirs.

BTW, that dialogue is real.  I just started it a few lines before the actual scene happened and improvised to make it sound realistic.
