We've got exams soon, so have at it.
I.
Cold winds raged outside, droplets of rain softly pattered on the windowsill, and the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee permeated in the air.
(The silence is comforting.)
From beside, the pile of blankets shifted as the sleeping lump underneath shifted in their slumber. Heat radiated off of them in waves.
(I enjoy your warmth.)
A sleeping maiden's face peeked from underneath the blankets – the epitome of peace and innocence. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips, eyeing the slumbering maiden fondly. He lifts a hand to lightly comb her flowing tresses, freeing them of the unruly tangles he knew she loathed to brush at the end of each day.
(You never cease to make my heart flutter.)
She shifts some more and he notices. It seems she's slowly awakening from her slumber. With one last pat on her head, he stands up and quietly slips away with the grace of a quiet mouse.
(I'm sorry I can't meet you.)
She awakens, her hair unusually neat despite being asleep for quite a while. She blinks, noticing the small creases on the spot beside her.
She smiles.
(I'm sorry I can't stay.)
She spots the mug sitting in the middle of her black coffee table, steam wafting out, and picks it up. Her fingers trace the contour of the pristine white mug – it's still warm. She brings it to her lips and lets the bitter liquid fill her stomach with warmth.
He smiles unconsciously.
She sets down the mug, lifting her head to turn to the window across the room.
A warm smile spreads across her lips.
His heartbeat picks up.
She knows.
(I want to meet you, but I'm still not worthy of you.)
A/N:
I wrote this in the middle of class, (even though I have a project to finish) and I tried to play around with it. So I tried to experiment a bit, I think I failed.
This chapter turned out too short and lacking in content (I think).
I wasn't supposed to post this yet. But I guess while in the middle of finishing a lot of projects for school, I got bored and decided to post. And this is actually such a random time for a school day. It's almost 1 am and I'm sitting here alone, by the bottom of the stairs outside our dorm rooms and it's so cold and our electric sockets aren't working. Apparently, this is a great time to go online since the internet's faster. And we have a quiz on Physics and I still do not understand a single thing.
Anyway, this chapter is probably the calm before the storm. Expect things to go haywire real soon. So yes, this is going to be a multi-chap fic (although I'll be keeping each chapter short).
(As if I don't have a shit ton of fics to update)
