A Little Time For Us

Haiku was too good to be true. As they walked and talked, Bowen sharing both the fortunes and misfortunes of her capture and enslavement, he didn't say a single negative thing. He was nothing but supportive and caring and she appreciate that from him immensely. Part of Haiku reminded her of Artorias, but the chocolate colored brute didn't challenge her like her brother did. Haiku simply accepted and sought to make things better. He had told her that he was a healer. He claimed that he wanted to help her. Well, he was making good on those claims. Haiku helped her whenever she needed it in whatever way she needed it. He was becoming an amazing lover and was a very quick study. He didn't mind her subtle instruction and seemed eager to learn as much as he could. That right there proved how much he cared for her.

Casual touches as they walked were nice and Bowen absorbed each and ever bit of affection that Haiku lavished upon her. Had she realized that, in his mind, he was feeling protective, possessive and controlling... part of her would have really liked it. After being in the world with no real safety for such a long time, being cared for and protected was divine. The last thing that Bowen wanted was to take advantage of Haiku, but she definitely allowed him to care for her when he took the initiative.

As they arrived at the bridge that would lead them out to the strange circular island, Haiku took a moment to nuzzle into her cheek. Bowen smiled, leaning into the affection before leading him outwards. He touched her as they walked and she loved the feel of his body against her. As the man questioned her, Bowen shook her head. "No. First time." The speckled brute had suggested that they take supplies and the russet and cream fae had quickly agreed. Together, they had gathered a stockpile of items and Haiku agreed to carry them.

Drifting down the stretch of sandy beach, Bowen moved leisurely, content to just be beside Haiku and enjoy their moments together while she could. After today... there was a good chance that he might not want anything to do with her. Not after she told him about the other love in her life. And that was another thing. Bowen was going to confess her love to Haiku today as well.
