( I don't own Sesshomaru and not even Dante, she belongs to my friend theglassaddiction and this is based on a ig rp, between lordsesshomaru and theglassaddiction. Enjoy ;P)
Changing hearts- Feelings
At first they both just stood there, staring into each others eyes.
Neither of them said or did anything, until Sesshomaru broke the silence.
"Im sorry"
Dantes eyes widened slightly, shocked by hearing these words especially from him.
He looked down.
"Im sorry for hurting you, i didn't mean that...i just...im sorry"
She didn't know what to say. She could clearly hear the sincerity and regret in his voice and she knew since before that he never lied...
But he wasn't done yet.
"I know i may not deserve your forgiveness...but i'll try anyway. Because ever since i said those things yesterday, i just couldn't drop it. I couldn't forgive myself..."
His voice faltered and he forced himself to look into her eyes again as he took a deep breath and said something Dante never thought she would ever hear.
" Because...i...i think i love you"
He blushed slightly as he said it.
It was done.
Dante's heart raced. Did he really just say what she thought he did? Did he really say that he... Loved her?
She thought maybe it was another joke, another way to get back at her for stealing his cloak but as she looked into his eyes, she knew that wasn't the case. This was the first time Dante saw him blush, even if it was just slightly visible., and she never imagined these feelings would be for her.
"I-is that true?" She stammered, feeling her face blush too. "Do you really... Love me?"
He keept his golden gaze locked with hers, his normally cold eyes having a new warm tone as they looked softly into hers, making her heart beat even faster.
"Yes...i do..."
He smiled slightly as he tasted the words he just had said, knowing that it was the absolute truth.
"I love you. I truly do..."
Dante's own gaze softened and she smiled, her face bright red from blushing, her heart thumping in her chest. He loved her. She never had thought he would, for the longest time she hid her own feelings as not to embarrass herself, knowing they wouldn't be returned. But this changed everything.
"I... I love you too... Sesshomaru."
His smile widened and his stance relaxed as he heard her words, his fear of being rejected getting swept away.
"Really?"
He stepped slowly a little closer, not really sure if i could go any closer, even though what he desired right now was to be close to her.
He stopped just a few inches before her, his eyes still locked at hers and spoke softly:
"Do you really love me?"
She looked back into his eyes, smiling softly back at him, knowing how close he stood to her.
She was so relived that she finally had been able to let him know her feelings and so happy that he actually answered them.
"Yes...i do"
She'd hardly let those words leave her lips as his arms wrapped tightly around her, his chest pressed softly against hers and she hardly couldn't believe that was actually happening.
She leaned slightly towards him as she let her arms wrap around him as well and she could feel his heart beating closely to hers.
She looked up at him and noticed that his eyes were already locked at her, his golden eyes full of what could be nothing else than desire.
Desire for her.
She blushed a little more at his intense gaze and when he slowly leaned his face closer to hers, her heartbeat raced and she could swear she was as red as a tomato.
And then his lips met hers.
He pressed his cool, soft lips against hers and she soon answered by pressing hers back as his arms traveled up to her shoulders, so he could hold her even closer.
Their kiss deepened as Sesshomaru advanced as he let his tongue wrap around hers, conquering it, making it his.
She pushed up closer against him and he took a few step backwards so he could lean his weight against a tree and as they kept kissing, he slid down the trunk and soon they were half laying, half leaning against the tree.
And so they were for many more minutes, none of them willing to end the kiss.
But after a while they pulled back as they looked into each others eyes, which had a new glow that they hadn't had before.
He moved his hand up to her hair and stroked it softly, feeling the smoothness of her silky hair beneath his fingers.
Dante leaned her head against his chest, with the taste of his lips still on hers.
She felt so at ease by the feeling of his fingers that ran through her hair, hearing his steady heartbeat and calm breathing this close to her.
Sesshomaru leaned his head against hers, still stroking her hair gently as he snuggled his nose into her bangs and then kissed her forehead softly.
He was happy.
He couldn't remember the last time he felt like this, if he'd ever done.
He sighed contently as he murmured low:
"Dante..."
She smiled as she heard him say her name, hearing the new softness and caring in his voice, knowing je would never call her "girl" again.
They kept laying there, wrapped up in each others arms as the day went to night and soon Dante drifted off in Sesshomarus arms.
He watched her sleep for a while, her relaxed and still smiling face making him smile as well before he closed his eyes, following her into the soft darkness.
