Chapter 43
…
"I'll be downstairs, okay?" She said, and then gave him a quick kiss.
"Okay." He answered, and soon after, she exited the room.
He looked to his left and through the window. And as he did, he briefly wondered about the world that he used to know.
…
It was a middle of the night, and she was peacefully sleeping in his arms. A sight he could never grow tired of.
I wonder if she's having a dream right now?
He entertained himself with a thought like that for a while. Before he yawned, and noted that his mind finally started to drift towards sleep. But just before he would fall asleep, he thought of his friends. And wondered; could they too enjoy a peaceful night's sleep?
…
He read their letter again.
And as he did, he was reminded of how much he actually worried about them.
…
He read their letter again.
In fact, he'd probably read it one too many times at this point, yet no matter how many times he'd do it again, that lingering worry always persisted to remain as it was.
…
"So, what about this one?" She asked as she held up a photo of herself and Ruby. Only about a decade or even more younger.
"…"
He didn't respond.
"Jaune?"
He blinked, and then quickly turned his eyes to her. "Oh, sorry. I spaced out for a moment," He said, and since she didn't notice that snippet of worry lingering deep in his blue, she didn't think much of it.
"Is everything okay?" However, she still decided to ask him.
"Yea." He answered convincingly enough, and for now, she didn't have a reason to doubt him.
"Okay," She said, and then gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.
He smiled.
Sorry.
He voicelessly apologized, but for now, he wanted to keep his unspoken worries to himself. "You both look like you're having the best time of your lives."
Right now, however, he wanted to enjoy his time with her.
