California Dreamin'

*Mercy I* · 05-06-2016, 05:41 PM

Let the bough break, let it come down crashing
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent
Cause I could live by the light in your eyes

They landed on the ground with a loud thud, her belly flush against his. Her jaws parted around his neck, her breathing rugged and heavy. She was nearly panting, a pained expression on her face. This would be so easy, she could rip out his throat and he couldn't even stop her. In fact, he wasn't even trying to do anything. Her black marked brows pulled together as saliva dripped from her fangs onto his neck. It joined the puddles of her tears, a mangled, garbled laugh leaving her maw. He was just laying there, he either had way too much trust in her or he didn't care what she did to him. Was he signing over his life to her this easily? Not putting up any resistance to her jaws that could so easily end his very existence. She pressed her teeth against him a bit tighter, pinching his skin. Mercy's jaws quivered, and then she broke away. Her face pushed into his fur as she dropped down on him more, the sobs heavy as they left her maw. Tears pooled down her face faster, and she inhaled his scent. Her nails dug into the earth around him, so many emotions flowing through her so quickly. She felt like she was losing her mind, and her head spun. It was too much too fast, all of these things within her. Never before had she felt this way, or felt so completely vulnerable. Mercy felt like she was cracking and breaking apart, ripping from the seams that had been holding her together. All of this from one male, one night. How earth shattering this all had been.

I'll unfold before you
What I've strung together
The very first words
Of a lifelong love letter

His arms coiled around her, holding her closer against him. She gave up on supporting her weight and pushed all of herself against him. She felt every one of his breaths move through him, his heartbeat hammering through her. After she spoke, she felt gravity shift as he rolled her onto her back. Mercy was left blinking up at him, her purple eyes reflecting every emotion. She was generally a lot more closed off than this, but her emotions were so raw that she didn't know how to block them. Gethin's red eyes fell on hers and the silence spread between them. All she could hear was her own ragged breathing, the pounding of her heart singing along with the off set beat. She looked between each of his crimson pools, begging him to say something, anything. When at last he spoke, a rush of air burst free of her lungs. His words pierced through her, rooting her to the ground. Her jaws opened slightly as she listened, his words doing nothing to calm her tears. So she was not alone in these strange feelings? His head dropped to her chest, and she just laid still for a moment. Slowly, she lifted up each of her legs and draped them across him, gently applying pressure to his back. Sniffling slightly, she felt completely stunned at what he was saying. How clearly did their feelings mirror each other? Her head shook softly back and forth, her ears pulling back slightly. "I... I feel exactly the same way. It looks like we fill the holes in each others lives," she whispered, leaning forward to bump her nose against his. Mercy had never thought that she was going to fall for just one wolf. Her father never settled down, neither did her mother. Her litter mate was the same as her as well, she just thought that it ran in her blood. But now, now she couldn't imagine being with anyone else. That had always been such a huge part of who she was, and she always thought that it would be. And then Gethin entered her life, and changed everything. Nothing would ever be the same from this day onward.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you

Gethin kept talking, and that is when she felt like her world stopped. Her breath caught in her throat, and she felt like she couldn't breath. Her heart fluttered against her rib cage like it was about to break through, and she was at a complete loss for words. She just stared into his ruby gaze, feeling like her very being was melting. "I... I don't know what to say," she whispered. She had never felt so lost, and yet found at the same time. She couldn't figure out her emotions, or anything really. Her mind was mush, as was everything inside her. "But I don't want to go anywhere without you. I don't want to be apart from you, and that scared me so much. I've never known anything like this, or thought that I deserved to have someone treat me like this, like you have," A small smile touched her lips, and she pressed a kiss to his cheek. Her eyes expressed her need for him, a desperation to never have him leave. That is what struck her with the most fear, the fact that she knew she would be empty without him. She had a pack, and two mentors to worry about. She didn't need this as well, she hadn't come here looking for it. But she did, she found so much more than she had ever hoped for.

There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me you could not come true
Just love's illusion
But then you found me and everything changed
And I believe in something again

They rolled until they were on their sides, and she wiggled out her arm from under him. Gethin pulled her against his chest and she let out a sigh, her front legs tucked in front of her. She placed her head under his chin, rubbing against the underside of him before nibbling at his throat. He spoke again, and she let out a garbled laugh. That was, until he said that one word. Love. She felt like she couldn't breath, her eyes wide. One puff of air squeezed through her lungs, huffing out until they were empty. Mercy had never said that before, to anyone but her brother. He had just gotten comfy, but she straightened her legs so that she pushed against him, meeting his red gaze. "L-love?" she asked, another shuttering sigh leaving her mouth. "I can't tell you..." she whispered, looking down for a moment. Clearing her throat, she looked up to meet his gaze once more. "But... but I feel it too..."

My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter

"SPEAK!"
