What Once Was

She didn't hesitate then, to go on and explain herself more fully with out a belly full of anger. He'd watch her, noting that her bright purple gaze lingered at his feet. Her distress was more than obvious, and he had to with hold himself from rushing to her side. She didn't keep from him her jealousy, or her knowledge of how unfair she'd been. Despite having proven himself to her over and over again, she was still very much uncertain in their relationship. "..I don't want a piece of your heart," she'd say as her gaze finally found his own. She'd shuffle forward, and he couldn't help but mirror the movement. "..take you away from me." He'd shake his head, no one was going to take her from him, ever. She'd move even closer and he wouldn't be able to stop himself from closing the distance this time.

He wouldn't miss her tear as he pushed their chests' together. He'd lick the trail it had left before pulling her underneath his chin. "You ARE my heart, Revenge." He'd try to smile softly as she put her rump beneath her. With better leverage Revenge would wrap his left front leg around her shoulders and kiss her softly. "I love you, Mercy." He didn't know what else to tell her, relax, don't worry about what he did? "You'll always be the owner of my heart, no matter who I'm.. intimate with," he'd use her words uncomfortably, "Your den is the one I come home to." He'd reassure her again as he kissed her softly.
