A pain that runs deep

He hadn't heard what she said. Dammit. No, it would be okay. She was feeling more confident now that she had already said it once. Inhaling deeply, she pulls away and tilts her chin up to rest it on his chest so she's looking at him finally. As she looks at him, she smiles. His heart is hammering in his chest and so is her's. "I-," Delphi pauses, staring into his eyes. Dang, they really were a pretty shade of lavender. Wait, she's supposed to be repeating what she said. "I think that can happen," her voice is quiet and slightly teasing but sure as she looks back up at him. "You really want to be more than friends?" She asks, unable to hide the smile as her cheeks burst with heat. Barely about to hear but so thankful to be close to him, she tries to dig in closer to his chest so there's no space between them.
