Hearts of the Damned

His gaze would remain upon her, unwavering whilst his heart threatened to jump clean of his body. Her sweet breath driving him all the more wild, almost impossible for him to keep from closing the gap and pressing against her. And yet, he was afraid that if he did...the pent up emotion would bring him to cry if he got the chance to touch her. One ear lied towards her, the other held back as a single fizzled word uttered from her tongue. He gazed at her, expecting another lie. But what it seemed like to him, was that she was struggling to say it. Usually, she said things so easily...was it perhaps she was indeed tellin' the truth? He swallowed, aqua gaze boring into her own as he noticed her own gaze softening. Was she really telling the truth? She confirmed that she had been blinded by it all, but that in itself had been obvious to him already. He had tried to tell her before, and yet she had turned his back on him and returned to her proclaimed king.
He held his tongue, allowing her to speak what she wanted to without interruption. He wanted her to say more, he wanted her to show him that she truly was doing the right thing. Or the wrong thing...however she chose to think about it. "I... I wasn't taught how to love someone, but I like to believe I know how it feels..." For a moment, his maw lifted in a brief smile of the smallest sizes. It was there, though not quite. "Nobody can teach you how to love, it's somethin' you learn on your own. It's what you feel in your heart for another." He would gaze into her eyes, allowing her to continue then. He fell silent, heart hammering within his brittle chest as she continues to explain how she feels. The boy feeling elated, heat filling his body like it never had before. She looked at him then, a great difference then what he had seen before within the light of her beautiful eyes. "What... What do you see when you look at me?"
The question would not catch him off guard. He knew exactly well what he saw whenever he looked at her, whenever he thought about her. "Liberty, since the moment I saw you I fell in love. Why do you think I have been tryin' so hard everytime I see you? Why it hurts so much? Hell, if I had been able to forget so easily I would have after all this time...but it's been seasons, and still I hold on to you. Why?" He paused, takin' a shaky breath as he dropped his gaze for a moment. Gathering himself, keeping himself from a breakdown. Slowly, surely...he returned his gaze to her. "Why...I've asked myself that so many times. And everytime, it's the same answer. It's because I love you, Liberty. It's never gone away. When I look at you, I see strength. I see a beautiful soul who has so much to offer, not only to the world but to herself. You're strong, whether you believe it or not. I believe you are. You're unique, you're beautiful, you're you. You don't need power, you don't need some old fool to charm you with lies. We all only require one thing in this world...and that's for someone to love us, and accept us for who we are in our hearts. I love your heart...not a day goes by that I don't think about you."
