my heart stops without you

He expected a little bit of giggling, but it kind of hurt that she would laugh so hard at him. Of course the mirth was difficult to resist so it wasn’t long before Roan joined in. He didn’t have much time to dwell as she slipped into the ocean. Even if the water was shallow he still jumped. His eyes grew wide and he was sure his heart had stopped for a moment.

Iolaire was fine though and came up laughing even though she’d been soaked through. Seeing her laugh felt good, especially after their somber moment that morning. He had no real name for them, but the question was already forgotten as he passed the spectacles over. Thankfully she trusted him enough to do such a crazy task. ”Just put your face in the water.” Roan confirmed, but she was already doing as he asked.

He watched quietly as she leaned forward to take a glimpse into the unknown world beyond the ocean’s surface. Roan had been amazed at the different colored fish and the coral were astounding. However much mystic beauty he’d seen there, none of it compared to the smile that played on Iolaire’s sweet lips when she lifted her eyes back to him.

Roan aimed to wrap one water logged arm around her and pulled her closer to his chest as she offered him a kiss and thanks for the odd but wonderful experience. ”You’re welcome, but really I should thank you. I would have died without you.” He buried his muzzle into her thick silver scruff and embraced her tight. Spirits above he loved this woman. He lingered there for as long as she’d let him. ”I’d do anything for you.” Roan promised softly as he pulled away to find her golden emerald eyes.
