AN Oh my god I am so sorry for taking so long to update! I had my final exams just now and had 11 exams over two weeks and have not had time to even see my girlfriend outside of school. But that's all over I am now free and I am updating regularly... Hopefully... It will probably be every two weeks so I have time to write and hopefully work too. Thank you for staying with me! I love you all!
Shadow
Vio stood looking around aimlessly. I had taken him out for the day to cheer him up. He had been a bit depressed since he told me about his mum, but the nightmares had basically stopped.
I snuck up behind him and put my hands over his eyes. He turned around and hugged me.
"Oh Shadow I thought I'd lost you when we got split in the crow" I laughed gently grabbing his wrist and leading him away.
"Lets go buy Ice cream"
We sat outside an ice-cream parlour that over looked the river. I had a chocolate and fudge one and Vio had a strawberry and cream one. Vio's honey coloured hair fell into his face. I had the urge to push it out the way but felt he might find it a bit weird. I found my self staring at him, he really was beautiful. I had been trying to find the right moment to tell him. I couldn't live like this anymore. I had to tell him, for both of us. I grabbed his spare hand with mine. He looked shocked down at our hands.
"Vi, there's something I have meant to tell you for a while" He smiled at me.
"Me too but you can go first" I smiled trying to find the right words to say but all that came out was a jumbled mess.
"vi, i got nice you gahh!" He laughed at my effort. "I don't know how to say it" I admitted.
"just say it how it sounds in your head" he smiled encouragingly. Why was this so hard. Tears slipped out of my eyes. I had never let Vio see me cry so I stood up and ran. Ran from my problems. Ran from my fears. Just like I have been doing my whole life. Well done Shadow! Screw this up too!
I could hear Vio shouting after me as I ran. I found a bank covered in trees and sat under one. I let the tears fall freely now.
"Shadow" came a soft voice followed by arms wrapping around my shoulders. "Why did you run like that? I did say something that upset you did?" I buried my face in his shoulder shaking my head. "Then why did you run?" his voice soft and caring. He pulled me up onto his lap. I looked at him, my tears slowing. If I couldn't tell him I would show him.
I pressed my lips to his gently. He stiffened in shock, then relaxed and kissed me back. His hand found the back of my head, pulling me closer. He broke the kiss smiling.
"I love you too, Shadow!"
