3.
Hope because of the knowledge that in this cave she couldn't ran away from him.
And he couldn't deny it any longer.
Only the thought about finally telling her seemed to lift a mountain from his so tortured heart.
„I'm glad to be here because when today has to be the day i meet my holy father it had to be with you by my side. I won't be afraid if i know you're here with me when i should die."
The sun was blocked from a shadow and she couldn't but slap his chest.
„Na, you moron- no one's going to die here! Not me- not you! Ya undastan'?!"
She reached up and took his face in both of her hands.
The feel of his unshaved cheeks tickeled her palms.
She looked him straight in the eye, hold his gaze.
A sea of Ice Blue to pools of warm Brown.
„Do you hear me, Scotty Valens?"
A small smile crept around the corners of his lips .
„When i tell you i'm not- will your hands stay where they are? Then i believe that i'm not."
She felt a smile on her own face as well.
„If you tell me i'm gonna do something you'll wish for the next onehundert years!"
she whispered and wondered where the strength to say that had come from, building up inside her.
No fear. Just trust. In herself. In him. In them. Together.
„You think ya know my wishes?" he lifted one eyebrow and she couldn't help but smile 'cause of his mocking tone. The teasing.
„Don't challenge me, Rush! I have a rich fond of fan..."
The look in her eyes made him quit the sentence.
Maybe he was uncomfortable with her hands wound around his face- but probably she's wrong
'cause this moment he wrapped his own around hers and laughter filled his eyes with some kind of joy. It was far too long since she'd seen him so full of fun and her own smile brightened.
„And you think my bad nights were 'bout nightmares? Maybe i couldn't sleep 'cause of dreaming 'bout ya...!"
His right pushed away some strands of her dirty blond hair, caressing her face.
Now his smile fanished and he told her honest: „I had bad dreams about you're getting shot or die or that kinda stuff. They're shaking me to core."
