Secrets

Crucifix was struggling with himself in that moment, he knew what he wanted, why his heart was racing beneath his chest but his brain was screaming at him to slow down, to think. Was this not how he broke his friendship with her in the first place? He couldn't risk losing her, couldn't think that she might want him as he did her, which was not just for a night... but for a lifetime. He swallowed, shoving down the thought the moment it arose and was distracted for a moment even as she spoke. He was slow to respond but his eyes would move back to hers to connect for a fleeting moment before she was off.



A startled laugh would escape his lips before he too moved into a run behind her. The girl had a better head start then he and was already a good distance ahead of him. She didn't let herself get too far ahead it seemed and often he could see the glint of her cheeky expression cast over her shoulder before again it would turn from him. He had no clue where she was leading him but was determined not to lose sight of her. Catching up however didn't seem possible so he contented himself with the occasional cast of her eyes and waited to see where she was leading.
