Medusa and Blind Love Chapter 3

Theia's hands started to tremble once she heard her name. But she didn't take them off her face. Medusa's face lit up with fear as soon as she saw Theia's expression of fear. "Well, that explains the scales," Theia jokingly mentioned, "Ahaha, so uh yeah. I forgot to mention that didn't I?" Medusa answered timidly. She was tense, but surprised she didn't leave in a haste.

"So if you are THE Medusa, how come I'm not a statue yet," Theia asked, "Stone-gaze doesn't work on people who're blind, so I guess you've gotten an advantage there I guess." Medusa explained. They both laughed, Theia then realized that she still had her hands caressing her face. She quickly took them off when she thought she was making her uncomfortable. "So your friends call you Theia, you might as well call me Meds. It's less of a mouthful too," Meds brought up, "You know, your hands felt nice. Also, you weren't making me uncomfortable," She told Theia to make her feel better.

"Haha, how could you tell,"Theia questioned, " Faces are masks for the soul. We wear them to hide or to show, but you can always figure them out." She explained. Medusa had been alone for so long, and she had kept so many statues, she has been able determine the expressions of many people. Granted most of them is usually pure terror, but she has been able to study other expressions in the past.

"It's getting late, I think I should head to bed, if you don't mind." Theia quickly brought up to avoid any further discussion. She turned her head and covered her face so Medusa couldn't see her blush. Grabbing some sheets, Theia tried to feel around for the bed. "You can sleep in my bed tonight, I'll just be in the room next to you," Meds offered, "Actually Meds, can you stay with me? Just for tonight, a lot of things could happen and I just feel safer with you that's all." Theia requested. Medusa felt a warm feeling after hearing from someone that they felt safer with her. "I don't see why not," Meds gave in, "I don't see it either." Theia responded. Medusa, after realizing what she just said inhaled sharply then started to laugh. She is laughing a lot harder than she should have.

Medusa sat by Theia the whole night, she watched over her like a guardian…..gorgon. It felt nice to know that there was someone who trusted her. She removed the hood on her head and let her snakes loose. They came close to Theia's face and then she started to smile, she almost forgot that Medusa had snakes in her hair. It felt like a hundred goodnight kisses were all over her face. Medusa pulled her hair away so she can get some sleep, she heard her hair whining as she pulled them away from her(obvious soulmate).

The Next Day

When Theia woke up, she stood up and slowly walked her way towards the door. She heard Medusa singing outside and followed the beautiful silky voice. Meds was by the lake painting the latest statues and singing her favorite song. "You have a beautiful voice you know?" Theia pointed out, "And I see you're awake, I thought you would've snuck out once it turned day." Meds assumed. Theia sat down next to her and enjoyed her singing, she would join too, but she doesn't know any of the words.

Much to Medusa's surprise, she hadn't left yet. She just kinda sat there just enjoying the moment, and Medusa was confused why. "Theia, if you don't mind me asking. Why don't you just go home? Isn't that what you wanted to do in the first place?", Meds asks,"I could stay for a while, I'm in no hurry to get home. Besides I really enjoy being with you." Theia replied while furiously blushing from what she just said. Medusa took a break from painting to sit down with Theia, she looked at the lake and felt joy. She could feel a warm finger touching her fingertips and it had seemed like time had froze and Medusa was having a heart attack at the same time. Theia was trying to put her hand on Meds, she felt a strong connection to Medusa.

Medusa slowly and timidly moved her hand to Theia's in what felt like an eternity. But before she could reach it, Medusa got cold feet (cause she's cold blooded, get it?) and took her hand back. Theia sensed she moved her hand back and felt embarrassed, she slid her hand back towards her person. Theia blushed with sorrow and tilted her head away so Medusa wouldn't see her. "I'm sorry, I'm not used to this," Meds apologized, "It's quite alright, but I do very much like you, as you can tell." Theia confessed. Meds was at this point completely paralyzed. The thoughts going through her head were rapid, she can feel all the insecurity that has been building up for years being released. She knew that if she didn't act now, there wouldn't be another opportunity for something like this.

Medusa drew up all her courage and grabbed Theia's hand and squeezed it tight, "I like you too." Medusa finally confessed, the blood rush through her scales warmed up her bloodstream as heart started to float. Theia looked at her and laughed as she admitted it. Though it has only been two days, Medusa and Amaltheia had created a strong connection between them. They both looked at the lake to enjoy the sunrise (well Medusa at least. I'm not sorry).
