say you will

Honestly Iroh knew nothing about love, he’d been raised by a single mother, he’d never met Pyrrhic and Eligos’ mother. He had no one to base these feelings on. All He knew was how he felt, and how he’d feel if he didn’t take this chance. He felt right, being close to her and having her presence beside him again. When she was gone he felt tense and couldn’t get her out of his head. What if something happened to her, what if she disappeared like Banshee? Iroh couldn’t relax until he could call her his own.

Elise returned to a soft quietness as he leaned lightly into her side. He wouldn’t pressure her choice, he knew what he was asking of her. She was wild, and he was asking her to tame those ways to be with him. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek lightly before she finally spoke and made a decision that warmed his heart and brought a grin to his features.

”I won't.” He promised her and took that moment to finally wrap her up in his arms. At the same time he’d aim to press his lips to her shy grin. Iroh hadn’t ever felt elation like what was brewing in his chest. Maybe he knew what love felt like, but it was nothing like this. Elise wanted him too, and she’d accepted what he’d asked of her. ”Elise, I’ve fallen in love with you.” The dark coated Abraxas whispered. Iroh didn’t want to stop kissing her, but the words needed to be said and he wanted her to hear them.
