'I do not claim to know the outcome of this venture, either. After all... hearts are unpredictable.'

She smiled up at the boy who meant the world to her which in response, he barely understood as to why exactly she felt so strongly attracted to him. After all this time he was departed from her, from his friends, his home, he had become nothing like the stories tell you of a handsome prince or perhaps some heroic man who slay dragons. But instead, he had become what he had feared; A monster. He had become a stone mannequin trying his best at over coming the darkness that swallowed him. But things had changed when he was met again with this petty girl standing before him, looking up at him with eyes that danced with excitement.

There were two things he had expected the girl to do when he reunited with her once more; Run away in fear of his new form that he had created, or to finally get over him and move on with her life which it seemed she has not been doing in his absence. Neither action was made on her part which startled him ever so slightly, something he was not quite used to.

Instead of shunning him of his previous actions that she still did not understand, she threw herself into his stiff arm's and clung onto his shirt as if she was afraid if she didn't, he would go away again. He stood there confused and searched his mind on what actions he should take next as she began to cry so many tears that she had locked away for him. Slowly yet surely, he wrapped his bare arm's around her then barred his pale face into her brown locks which he noted smelled like cherry blossoms.

Until now, he hadn't realized just how much he actually missed her which was just as strong as much as she felt for him. The only noise between the two searching friends was her violent sobs she whimpered against his muscular chest. "I've missed you so much…" She choked out which he almost failed to hear cause of her tiny unsure voice. He hadn't heard her voice in so long which made it sound as if it was a sweet melody to his eager ears.

A sly smile passed it's way across his pale lips as her word's etched their way into the depths of his mind. Oh how long he has waited to hear some one else say all these silent confessions to him then his best friend. "I know." He whispered gently back to her.

The grip on his shirt from the shorter figure in front of him, tightened slightly when he was trying to pull away from her. A chuckle erupted in his throat when he noticed her clingy behavior , it made him feel a sudden foreign warmth inside his being. Staring down at her, he started to see thing's a bit differently that he had always looked over before when with her. Maybe this was his chance at finally some happiness he has been scouting far and wide for when it was in front of his face the whole time.

After prying her clinched hands off of his shirt, he stood there and held them softly in his own as if scared to break her. A confused and some what shocked face looked up to meet his smile as he laced their calmly fingers together. The beating of his silent heart began to quicken as he let go one of her hands to take hold of her chin and direct her up to him after she had looked nervously down at the ground.

The girl's cheek's then were glazed over with a rosy red shade as he slowly moved his face down to her own. Time seemed to have slowed for them for that moment which was almost unbearable for her to contain anymore. She had been waiting so long for him to return, for this moment per say , and waiting any longer for him to make his way towards her was not any option in her mind currently. In a swift motion , her hands became a tangled mess in his light colored hair as she pulled his face down to her forcefully.

Shock was the first emotion that radiated his body but none the less smirked against her lip's as he began to regain his composure. "Stubborn and impatient as always." he breathed out when he pulled away just enough so that their noses were brushing off of one another.

With a roll of her brown yet red rimmed eyes, she copied his smirk playfully on her lips then said "Shut up and kiss me." He smirked once more before catching her awaiting lips in his; He didn't need to be told twice.

'There will always be a door to the light'
