Hey guys. I read COAD about two years ago.I really got into TorakxRenn when I reread it. Hopefully this fandom is not dead yet. This will basically be a series of one shots about them.
(This takes place during Oath Breaker)
Torak and Renn and Fin-Keddin had been hunting Thiazzi. They had just narrowly avoided a , Fin Keddin had broken some ribs and was , currently , asleep.
Torak was feeling really conflicted. On one hand , he felt the need to avenge his kinsman. On the other , he really needed to stay here and look after Renn and Fin-Keddin.
Renn. Ahh , Renn had completely disarmed him . He knew he was in love with her. But he could not bear to say it . Once she was polishing her bow . She was grinding woodberries in order to do the same. Wolf , who really loved them , yipeed and asked Renn to give him some of the berries.
"No Wolf!" Renn had said. "Not for you!" But she had relented anyways. Torak had watched her. Her red hair glittering in the sunlight , making him forget his destiny , his burden. She must have had caught him staring , for she had looked up then.
"Yes , Torak?"She had said , cutely biting her lip.
Torak had felt the heat rising up to his face. He had stammered out a "N-Nothing" and then had fallen silent , still musing how beautiful she looked.
That was when he knew. That was when he discovered that he was in love with
was in love with everything about her. Her hair , her eyes , that cute little freckle below her lip and-
"Torak?" Renn brought him back to the present.
She was on her knees with a handful of birch-bark tinder , grimly trying and failing to get a spark with her strike-fire. "well , go on then" She said , without looking up.
"What do you mean?" Said Torak
"Go after him. That's what you want"
He stared at her."I'm not leaving you."
"But you want to."
He flinched.
"It'll take days to get Fin-Keddin back to the clan."she said ,still failing to get a spark. "And all the time , Thiazzi's getting away. That's what you're thinking , isn't it?"
"Renn-"
"You never wanted us to come!" she burst out. "Well, here's your chance to be rid of us."
"Renn!"
They faced each other , Torak straining to get his feelings out , but his tongue was jammed to the roof of his mouth.
With a violent effort , Torak spoke."Renn , I won't leave you!"
"why?" Renn asked.
"Because I love you!" Torak said . Then , before Renn could speak "I love you. I love you hair , I love your eyes. Everytime I sleep, I get dreams about you. I can't stop thinking about you"
"T-Torak…" Renn said , completely stunned.
Without saying a word , Renn kissed him. Straight on the lips.
It went on for what seemed like an eternity. But Torak never wanted it to stop. Unfortunately , it did.
Renn was beaming after the kiss. Finally , something had gone right.
"Torak , when did you realise?"
"Oh Renn , I realised it the day you were polishing your bow and Wolf begged for some wildberries. The moment you looked up , I knew , that from then on , my world was going to be centered around you."
Renn was grinning evilly. "What?"
"I know that I can disarm you Torak . I know."
"Oh no!" Torak moaned.
"Now , I can go hunting whenever I want , and I'll convince you not to by simply disarming you with my hair and eyes , just like you said."
'That expression does look kind of sexy on her'Torak thought.
Oh no , It had BEGUN!
