Another One-shot I started that got out of hand. DARN YOU MUSES!
I remember the last words Neal and I said to each other as I stood in the middle of this fight.
*flashback*
"You be careful and come back to me," he said.
"I will," I promised as I slid the sharpening stone over my beloved halberd. "It's supposed to be a basic hunt."
"Then why are you bringing your halberd?"
"Because I always leave with over a hundred weapons," I smirked up at him. Neal smiled back and sat down beside me as I finished sharpening the two bladed halberd. I lay it down beside me taking up the next set of weapons, my battle fans that doubled as shields, made of strong steel, perfect for slicing and shielding.
I ran the stone over it, sending a shower of sparks over all of us. His hand stilled mine. I glanced up. Neal's blue eyes landed on mine.
"You had better hold true to your word."
"When have I not?" I asked smirking.
"All it takes is once," he said, cupping my face. My smirk softened into a smile.
"You don't trust my clan to keep me safe?"
"I don't trust you to not jump right into the line of fire protecting one of them," he said pulling me into his arms, burying my head into his chest. I breathed in his scent clutching at his white dress shirt.
"I love you, Neal," I whispered.
"I love you, too. That's why I want you to come home to me. I always want you to come home to me," he said, stroking my braid.
"Of course," I said, leaning up and kissing him. My cursed cell phone rang in the middle of our kiss. I groaned in despair and flipped it open.
"What?" I grumbled.
"We are waiting on you princess."
"Of course you are, you numbskulls," I groaned. I turned to Neal hanging up the phone, "Sorry, duty calls," I muttered. He kissed me once more before I left.
GASP! OH NO CAMICAZI WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
