It was so strange to meet someone who shared your face and yet wore it so differently.
He did not wear her face aggressively or with anger, but he wore it with a gentle yet frightened countenance.
She longed for him to grow in the ways that she had, but she hated the thought of him being harmed like she had been.
It was a bizarre contrast of how things were and were to be and what was forbidden.
She doubted that she was supposed to love him this way.
She couldn't help but marvel at the way his face lit up.
Felicia longed to make him laugh and to smile as well as to be his constant ray of sunshine like he was hers.
She loved her counterpart; she loved Feliciano, and may be that was wrong, may be it was bizarre, but she couldn't help it.
The North Italian female could not help the fact that when he smiled, she did too or that her face shone just as brightly and just as wide of a smile.
She loved the constant joy that Feliciano put in her heart and how he masterfully held that part of her beyond her own control.
Of course, she'd fight to make him stronger, but she'd do so in a way that he could not carry her burdens or her pain as his own.
She'd fight for her love, the man that had set her heart on fire and left a lasting yet beautiful mark there.
It was not a burden or a pain to love him this much though the guilt of what others would think which had never held her before now was forced to torment her though she fought it off well.
She loved her male self for all that he was though he sent worry spiking through her heart and loving her struggling to protect him from how badly damaged the world could make him.
Her love was strong much stronger than any love had seemed for her in the past, and she could not resist its delicate control and the bliss that it brings.
She loved Feliciano.
Felicia smiled as she watched her love who in some ways was much more gifted then her which would be expected from alternate selfs or different people whichever anyone felt the need to call them or that they called themselves.
She was happy here with Feliciano despite whatever was thought of their relationship and despite their own struggles.
Felicia also knew that he loved her just as much, and that was enough to set her heart at ease.
It was definitely safe in his hands.
