Part of the choose your own couple thing I have going.
I don't own.
Enjoy!
I was grinning when I finally made it back to my house.
I was carrying a small bottle of sand, black sand. The name on the bottle was Scorch Sand, I got it from when my family and I went on vacation.
It was small, barely bigger then my thumb, but it was perfect, at least, I believe it is.
"Hey!" I called out when I saw him walking. He turned, and his frown turned into a smile when he saw me, a forced smile.
I scrunched my eyebrows briefly, I hope he didn't see.
"Hi! I brought you something from vacation." I hold out the bottle, my grin still tacked on, it almost hurt my cheeks, but it was too hard to dim the smile, so I just endured the pain.
"Thanks. Er, what is it?" He looked at the bottle in confusion.
"It's black sand, from the nightmare pit in Africa." I grinned again.
"They say that if you have a bit of sand next to you, it will take the nightmares from your mind and leave you with happy dreams. It's like a dreamcatcher." I tell him, my smile dimming of it's own accord when he didn't look up at me.
"You have to keep it" I tell him, "You have to, you can't get rid of it." I tried to be stearn, but my bottom lip started to tremble. It wasn't a very good gift after all. He hated it.
I was caught by surprise when he lifted his head.
His eyes were misted over, like he was trying not to cry. The grin on his face was a bit watery, but genuin.
"I love it. I'll keep it forever." I couldn't help but pull him into a hug.
We just held each other for a bit.
Awe. They are so cute. Who do you see? Out of curiosity.
Sometimes I lean toward two guys, but sometimes I see Gah as a girl.
