The Sun Will Shine Again

Her nerves were wracked with anxiety as finished speaking and waited for Steel to say something, if he had anything to say. She could almost feel her muscles quivering, and her stomach doing flips. Why was this so hard to talk about? Why was it so terrifying? As her emerald orbs washed over his face, she noticed that although his expression remained neutral, something about him seemed a little flustered as he quietly struggled for words. She knew she must have caught him off-guard - in fact, she'd even caught herself off-guard a little. Still, she couldn't help but to worry, as even though she'd mentioned it on a whim, it was still very important to her. But as he leaned in a little, she felt a glimmer of hope - maybe she hadn't freaked him out. Well, not enough to send him running. Then he spoke again, and her ears perked toward him, listening eagerly. His concerns were legitimate, and if she really thought about it, she had no idea what kind of parent she'd make, either. After all, she was a wanderer, whimsical and spontaneous. But if she was with him, it couldn't go wrong... right? Although he didn't seem to mind traveling with her, she was sure that he would help ground her, to keep her in one place long enough to do things properly. As he said he'd try, her heart jumped. "If that's what you want to do, we can try." Did he really say it? An excited giggle escaped her. "I think you'd be a good father," she murmured to him in a light-hearted tone, "You're tough on the outside, but really you're just so sweet and selfless." He seemed willing to try anything for her, regardless of his doubts, so she couldn't imagine how far he'd go for his own flesh and blood. As he pressed his nose into her neck, inhaling deeply, she took in a sharp breath of her own, surprised by the intensity of the sudden gesture. She craned her neck slightly, feelings ripples of warmth move through her skin at his touch, her cheeks burning. A satisfied sigh escaped her lips as she smiled warmly, her eyelids fluttering almost shut as her heart thudded in her chest. He always made her feel that way when they were close - at first, it had made her anxious, but now she craved the sensation more and more. In this moment, she wanted to be closer as she got a little light-headed. "I don't want to move from you," she murmured, pressing into him, "But we should really get this den finished. You know, if we ever want to be... alone together." She pulled her head away from him just far enough to look at the handsome male beside her, a warm glow in her emerald eyes. She'd love to be alone with him. |
