Ars Amatoria Romance Challenge: Knight
By Angel Mouse
Z POV during Quest
Bridge just looks at us like we're mental or something and then he sighs. He smiles at us both and takes the list and money from Syd.
"Okay, I'll be as quick as I can. One day, when I'm old and grey, you can both explain this whole thing to me." With that he leaves and I glance at Syd. She returns my look and suddenly we both laugh.
Bridge is a real sweetheart sometimes. He's always there for us, in any way shape or form. As I snuggle down in underneath my blanket I come to realize that occasionally we can tend to take advantage of his gentle and friendly nature. But he never complains and is always glad to help. Perhaps that's why I trust him more than any other person in my life, besides Jack that is.
I mean, I trust Syd and Sky but there's just something special about Bridge. I see how Syd and Sky are together and I must admit I have felt a little jealous sometimes, especially when I don't have someone of my own. But with that thought, my mind brings up a picture of Bridge. Surely he doesn't feel that way about me, does he?
Soft snores came from the pink corner of the room and I glance over, smiling slightly at the sight of Syd asleep. Neither of us is too good today and we both have taken some pain relief that tends to make you drowsy. It never does to me, but it does to Syd. I don't mind too much, some time to think is good.
But do I really feel that way about Bridge? I mean, back when we were fighting Grumm I was terrified for him when Bjork took him away from us. And I think that's when I realized how much he means to me. Ever since that first day when I joined SPD he's always been like a Knight in shining amour, you know the ones, in those fairy tales.
But this is real life. Fairy tales don't come true.
Or do they? My thoughts are interrupted by the door opening and my very own Knight in Blue walks in with a bag in his hand and a warm smile on his face.
Perhaps, just perhaps there's a Knight out there for me. And he's wearing Blue.
