She felt him ease into her embrace, into her touch. A shuttering sigh left her lips, eyes sliding shut. She had never felt so at ease with someone, not like this. She was used to just getting what she wanted out of a guy and leaving. Sex, pain, bloodshed, or a mix of all three. The men she usually ran into were all more than happy to just leave right after, leaving smug as they got what they wanted. It made sex nothing more but a way to feel good, the next high she was looking for. It wasn't a sign of love or commitment, if that was the case... well there were quite a few notches on her belt so to say. But Gethin... he was different. He had asked her to stay, saying that others were foolish. But why? What did he see in her that no one else did? And why did she feel like this with him? It was only with her brother that she had ever felt like this before. Her ears lowered a fraction, no one had never come close to making her feel the way her brother did. Well, maybe Kyarst, but that was then. Mercy gave Gethin's scruff a few licks while she ran this through her brain, one thought being taken over by another before she got anywhere with it. He had told her that she didn't need to say anything, so she just enjoyed the silence for now. When he pulled back, she reluctantly allowed him, straightening herself up as he did so. He was searching her face, and she blinked rapidly at him. She was about to ask him a question when he took the words right out of her mouth. Letting out a gentle giggle, she smirked softly at him. "I was about to ask you the exact same thing," she said. Her smile grew at his last words, but she made no comment on that. She had grown silent again, trying to put everything she was feeling into words. He deserved that much, after everything that had happened between them. "Well... besides not really being able to walk after?" she started, a playful tone to her voice. "I... it's hard to explain. I guess you just made me feel, I dunno... different I guess. You wanted me to stay with you afterwards. You didn't reject me as soon as you saw want I was in to, which had happened before. You took me for me, and it was honestly the most fun that I had had in a long time." Her tone was more serious, losing all sense of testing him. "As for what I see in you, I kind of see myself. Is that strange? But I do, we both have so much in common that it's almost refreshing in a way. I don't have anyone to relate to on that level, my brother didn't feel the same way about my parents. In fact he has been rather distant lately," Her frown deepened, but that thought was neither here nor there. "And you offered me everything, even though you hardly know me. You didn't abandon me when I started sobbing. I think I would have left me at that point," she said with a snort. "But you didn't. You're here talking to me. You played my game but stayed after, which like I said, not a lot do. You're... different, Gethin. In a way I can't really place. You seem to have a closed off heart, a far away look and walls to climb. But like me, you seem to have a touch of a different side under all that rough and tough exterior. And... I've never met someone who makes me feel the way you do. Excited and afraid all at the same time." Mercy paused then, searching his face. She had spoken so many truths to him, more than her own brother knew. But had she given him the answer he was looking for? |
Art by endless-adventure
Mercy likes to swear and bite, and she can be unpredictable. She's not always nice, and is quick to jump into a fight. Thread at your own risk.
Mercy has a visible scar from her shoulders down to the middle of her back, in a v like shape. Not all of her art shows this.
