Just some cute ideas that didn't really fit into the main narrative, or theme or anything, but this is where it falls timeline-wise, and it's cute, so whatever, here it is.
Chaos surrounded us. Swarmed around us in circles, blurring together, and then disappearing into… stillness. The only thing I saw was him. The only thing he saw was me. But it wasn't… the same. It didn't feel real. Disbelief filled both of us. Uncertainty. Doubt. Fear almost. We stood across from each other, our bodies becoming tiny silhouettes through the layers of snow falling from the sky. Everything was white. Pure. Untouched. One might think the moment was heavenly - but the ninth circle of hell is covered in ice.
My body shook. Not because of the cold. I looked at him, his blue eyes shining through the air piercing me with a feeling I couldn't quite place. He scared me. That silhouette, that image had killed me. Betrayed me. A part of me wished his eyes hadn't met mine. That I could fade into the wind to escape him. To escape myself. His eyes turned to his surroundings in curiosity. I stood in the middle of an explosion of ice. Shards littered the ground near me, growing larger and larger the farther out they lie. His hand lightly brushed the edge of one he stood next to. His eyes wandered back to mine, almost asking… did you do this?
I didn't need to answer. He already knew.
His feet began moving forward, adrenaline running through me, panic setting in as my body stepped back in response. He stopped, confused as to why I might avoid him. Was there a way I could know it was him? Really him? To know that he wouldn't hurt me? That my feelings wouldn't control me again, blind me to my situation? Was there a way to keep my body from shaking?
My fingers found their way to a small button positioned on my chest, and gently applied pressure, my chest panel opening. The only way I could know it was him, is if he gave me power. He was the one who held the other half of my heart. Only he could ever do that.
He stared at me for a moment, and then began to move, his hand shifting as another blue light appeared through the snow. Tears filled my eyes as the wave of relief hit me. It didn't help me stop shaking. My hands rose to my face to brush away the water as I fell to my knees. I could hear feet running towards me and soon cold arms surrounded me, cradling my head as I sobbed. His soft whispers slowly quieted my cries, as I rose my head to see him. I traced the shape of his face with my fingertips as he smiled.
"I didn't think it could really be you. I thought you were gone."
His hand cupped my left cheek as more tears fell from my eyes. "I'm here. It's me. It's really me."
I covered his hand and guided it down as I composed myself. "I missed you," I smiled, giggling through blurred vision.
This time he joined me, a few tears falling from his eyes. "I… I missed you too."
We sat together in the middle of this storm, gripping each others' hands and slowly taking control of our breaths as we adjusted to each other's presence. His eyes remained fixated on mine, his expression growing to be extremely at peace.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"I think…" he began. "I think I'd like to kiss you." Our eyes remained locked for a moment more before he became flustered. "But I don't know that it would be appropriate, seeing as we haven't done so before."
My hands gripped his tighter. "Well, maybe we could just start with…" I leaned forward and placed my lips on his cheek for a brief moment.
And now both of us were shaking.
IT'S DONE! IT'S FINISHED! I DID IT! I DID SOMETHING! YAY! NOW I CAN WRITE OTHER THINGS! But will probably still write things eerily similar to this so…
Thanks for reading!
