Promises
Through a half closed window pale moonlight illuminates two bodies intertwined on a bed; a pale leg can be seen crossing with a pair of tanned ones, a head full of blonde hair resting on a broad scarred shoulder, strong hands circling a slim waist. For the longest time the only the sound of breathing can be heard until a deep contended sigh breaks the silence.
"Mmm… babe…"
"Hmm?"
"Why did you come tonight?"
"Why don't you just enjoy the fact that I did?"
"Why do I even try to make conversation with you?"
"Why do you?"
A chuckle can be heard, after that the silence continues for a while.
"So why did you come?"
A sigh the only response for a long while until… "I promised you didn't I? I promised I'd come back to you one day, no matter what."
"So you do remember…"
"Of course I do."
It went quiet again, long deep breaths indicating sleep; the blonde smiling in the darkness, unseen, unheard but for the first time in years, genuine.
