SashaxMilla LURVE

Milla Vodello let out a sigh of delight as she sat down on her bed, a smile on her face; training the generation of tomorrow was a rewarding job to her, and she always looked forward to lessons. She turned on the radio to her favorite station, dancing about playfully and blowing a kiss at herself in the mirror, winking. Suddenly, she let out a gasp of delight as she heard a familiar tune on the radio. "Like a Prayer" by Madonna was a special song to her; it had been playing on her car radio that day she sat parked outside Psychonauts HQ to meet her partner...Sasha Nein. She always thought of Sasha when she heard that song, and she began to sing to it.
"When you call my name,
it's like a little prayer,
I'm down on my knees,
I wanna take you there;
in the midnight hour,
I can feel your power,
just like a prayer,
you know I'll take you there..."
She had been singing that specific part when the tall, pale man climbed into the passenger seat of her car. Milla stopped and giggled, grabbing a pair of sunglasses from her vanity, crossing her arms in front of her mirror and attempting to make a stern face as she imitated her partner's first words to her. "How can you stand such an annoying song? Does everyone I know have bad taste?" She stood still for a second, then burst out laughing, taking off the sunglasses and putting them back on the vanity. "Ah, Sasha...he always made me laugh even though he didn't mean to..." She heard one of her favorite parts of the song, and began to sing again.
"Just like a prayer,
your voice can take me there,
just like a muse to me,
you are a mystery;
Just like a dream,
you are not what you seem,
just like a prayer,
no choice, your voice can take me there..."
She clapped along to the beat as her thoughts lingered on those lines. "That part reminds me a lot of Sasha...I wonder why..." She turned back to her bed, and noticed that her Portugese-English dictionary was missing; true, she was very fluent in English since she came to the country, but she needed a refresher now and then. She shrugged it off, simply concluding that she misplaced it...
A knock at the door distracted her. "Quem está lá?" she asked, then added, "I mean, who is there?" There was silence, so Milla cautiously opened the door, peering outside. Nothing. Crickets chirped excitedly as if trying to tell her who had knocked. She took a step outside, then blinked as something tapped against the toe of her boot. She looked down to see a small, velvet box. Curious, she bent down, picking the box up and using clairvoyance to see where it had come from. To her surprise she saw a familiar face placing the box down on her doorstep before he vanished. She opened the box, gasping as she saw the gleaming ring inside, along with a note:
Eu te amo.
She recognized the Portugese phrase...and the handwriting. She smiled. "What took you so long, Sasha?"
Sasha appeared before her, arms crossed and looking to the side slightly.
"You know how I am, Milla." He reached into his jacket, holding out a small book. "Here's your dictionary back."
She took the dictionary from him, looking briefly at it, then at Sasha. A new song had begun on the radio.
"Feel the rhythm of the beat
That's my heart
Cupid shot me with an arrow
From the start
And you know that it's your love that's got me trapped
Every time I try to leave, you bring me back
So much harder at times I cried a river
You dried my eyes and brought me back laughter
And when I lay next to you I want to wake up
And when I break up
It's only to make up..."
"What, couldn't just ask for it?"
"You would have suspected something."
She giggled slightly, looking back at the ring. There was a silence between them.
"Boy, No matter what we go through
You step up, I'll step up too
it don't matter what the haters say
as long as you are my boo
No matter how hard it gets
This love will have no regrets
As long as when we
Stepping on the dance floor
It's me and you..."
"By the way..."
She looked at him.
"I guess that Madonna song isn't half bad."
Milla laughed. "See? Not everyone has bad taste."
"Maybe it was me who had bad taste."
"Oh, not at all! Honestly, Sasha, I've never heard you say that before!"
"Sorry, I just felt the urge to say that."
Silence.
"And when the symphony plays, I feel my feet
Lifting from underneath
You grab my hand
Spin me around
And right before I fall
You catch me and you say
Baby, it'll be okay
Just look into my eyes and we will make another day ..."
"Milla."
"Hm?"
"Remember our mission in Moscow five years ago?"
"Yes, I remember. What about it?"
"Do you remember that you sacrificed yourself when I found myself on the business end of that PSI scrambler machine?"
"Yes; Ford said it self-destructed afterwards; I had blacked out only moments before then."
"To be honest...you didn't completely black out."
"Huh?"
"After the battle and the explosion I had run low on power, and had carried you to the nearest town---several miles away. You woke up..sort of. You only said my name, and...you kissed me. You don't remember any of that?"
"No..." she smiled slightly. "I wish I did, though. I guess I have to make up for that."
"Make up for it? What do you me---"
She threw her arms around him, kissing him passionately. He was in shock for a moment, then placed his arms around her waist. They only pulled away briefly.
"Milla...will you marry me...?"
"Of course...I want to be your wife more than anything..."
Their lips met again as the radio repeated its chorus one last time.
"Boy, No matter what we go through
You step up, I'll step up too
it don't matter what the haters say
as long as you are my boo
No matter how hard it gets
This love will have no regrets
As long as when we
Stepping on the dance floor
It's me and you..."

Wow. That's all I can say about this picture. Frickin' WOW.

This is my first Psychonauts fanart, and hopefully won't be my last; I love how this came out. As you can tell I'm a SashaxMilla fan---let's just say a lot of stuff in the game hints at them being a couple. Example? Look at the last slide in Milla's "Milla's Adventures" memory. They both look pretty happy. ;3

I WOULD LIKE A SEQUEL TO THIS PICTURE. Don't get what I mean? Simple: I want someone to draw either the wedding, the honeymoon, or a scene from the above story. I just think it'd be cool. ^-^

Also, don't think I'm a Madonna fan; I just like that one song. "Step Up" is from the movie "Step Up."

SPREAD THE SASHA AND MILLA LOVE!


...Ironically I got inspired to do this after reading my friend's Death Note slash. o-o I'm weird like that.
