Regret Ch.5

A/N: Hey new followers, and once again, thanks for reviewing my chapters….. I'm so happy because I'm almost at 10 followers and I guess it's kind of a milestone since it's my first, story, but I digress. I hope you enjoy this chapter! MLW22.

Humphrey's POV:

I gotta admit, hanging out with Lilly is just awesome. We just walk by the scenery, just passing by, travelers without a destination. We were telling jokes to each other, let out an occasional riddle, and we just seemed to release all of the sadness inside of ourselves…. We truly understood each other.

One day, we were walking through a wide, flat meadow while it was raining, and we were just walking along, looking at the colorful arrangements of flowers, and then I just sighed very contently. Lilly obviously noticed this and asked, "Why are you so happy? Doesn't the rain give a hint of depression to you?" I happily laughed and just replied very calmly, "Rain does the opposite of that for me. With all the peace and serenity, I can clearly think and let my thoughts and imagination run wild. Rain gives me a sense of joy. Even just feeling the rain drops trickling on my fur calms me down and let's me know that I can just relax….. It's almost like the rain takes me to a place where I feel like nothing can bother me, or disturb me."

"Wow, you really are connected to nature you Tree-hugger," She replied sarcastically. "Hey, we all have our things. If you can like your snow, I can like my rain. You know, as an Omega, we have to accept other people's opinions and then try to compromise with each other so we can move on in our lives. So don't be hating on my rain, Lilly, I didn't do anything to you." I fired back hotly.

The rain kept pouring down, not enough to be violent, but just enough to get a good downpour. I soon changed the subject, and we were talking about the flowers on the grass. We started picking up ones we liked, and then soon lost interest as we found another flower two times better than the last one we had.

I saw these very beautiful violets in a small patch a few feet away, and I got this feeling inside that made me want to compliment her, so I did. I took the violet and showed her it and said, "I think this one's my favorite Lilly." "Why's that?" She asked confused. "It really matches your eyes, and it looks very nice on you. You know what, you should wear it, I'll put it. Stay still." I said nervously. For some odd reason my heart was pounding, and I didn't know why, but there butterflies were in my stomach. I placed the violet on her head and said, "There. Voila! That looks really nice Lilly." She did look really good. The flower was very bright and purple like her eyes, and when she looked at me, (With a really surprised look if I do say so myself…) her eyes were much more noticeable and defined.

Lilly's POV:

I don't know how dumbstruck I looked, but I think that was the first time ever Humphrey complimented me, let alone put a flower in my head. My heart was pounding, and he Humphrey looked at me with those same eyes from the dream. There was something in those eyes. Affection? Compassion? Kindness? All of the Above? I couldn't help but just look in those eyes that he had, and for a good 3 minutes, we just stayed there, staring at each other in the rain. It was then that the way the rain affected Humphrey was the same way that affected me.

After those 3 minutes, Humphrey shook his head and asked, "Should we find shelter? It's getting dark pretty quick, and I don't want you to get sick because of the rain. Here, come with me." I just stuttered and realized what he said, shook my head, and began to walk after him. We found a pretty small den, and we settled down to sleep. The den was cozy, and we layed down. The only inconvenience was that I was really cold, and then Humphrey did something I will never forget. He came over to me and asked me one question, "Hey Lilly, are you cold?" I grunted in reply, and then he laid down next to me. "Don't worry Lilly. I'm just going to relax, and then I'll keep watch. Just let me know if you need anything and I'll get it for you, ok? Sleep well Lilly. I don't to see you in pain with those nightmares. You don't have to worry now, I'm here for you…."

With that, something sparked, but I was so tired, I just croaked a thank you, and I fell asleep very peacefully that night, knowing that someone would be there for me. Someone to do anything for me. Someone who cared about me…
