So Scary

Walk | Talk | Think

Another quiet, giddy little chuckle fell from her lips as he spoke her nickname, the very name that he had chosen to call her even before he had known what her true name was. That it had managed to stick over all this time was somewhat surprising in retrospect, but she could understand why it did. As much as she liked to think of herself as the brave, enthusiastic adventurer that she had been in her youth, Anais knew she had changed. She was cautious, nervous, and at times quiet: just like the Little Mouse he named her for. She loved hearing it, loved knowing that he was the only one to ever use it, and hoped that he would continue to do so into the future.

She was so lucky to have him. She knew it as he promised her their waiting was over, as she watched the gears turning behind the shimmering silver eyes of his. He had plans, grand plans most likely, and he alluded to them with a question of the cliffs, of sunsets and stars. Her timid but delighted smile softened as she sighed, touched by the romantic picture that he was painting. It would have been an ideal spot if it did not hold a special place in her heart, but the fact that it did only made it more significant and important to her. Those cliffs had been where she had first realized the true extent of her feelings for him, where they had stayed up half the night talking and learning so much about each other. She loved the location, the memories attached to it. And she loved that he had been thoughtful enough to think of it.

There were butterflies in her stomach that fluttered about incessantly, and her heart felt full to bursting with the love she felt him. She did not cry again but tears remained welled within her yellow-gold gaze, almost sparkling as she smiled at him and with a dreamy, conceding tone of voice answered, "I'd go anywhere with you." Perhaps it was just a little exaggerated for what he requested, but deep down she knew it was truth. She loved him, unconditionally and beyond her control. She had to be with him, and would go wherever it was that he wanted to go. Even if it was just up to the cliff tops in order for them to see the stars come out together.
