This drabble is inspired by a song, so please take a moment and read the lyrics I add, it adds so much ;)
34. Stars
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time
"Can you see this star?" Eight asks me as he takes my hand in his and raise it up to the blue sky. I nod and say, "Yes, it's Venus; you can see it glows from Earth, sometimes."
"I miss Lorien, I want to end this war already." Eight says.
"We all want," I answer, leaning against the wall.
Moments like this are rare for us; something changed after Eight came back. I sob and lose it;
"It's not us, Eight. We aren't the same. It's not the same," I cry hardly and turn my hands to fits. "You're faking your smiles ever since you came back! Why are you doing that?"
Behind the tears I see Eight in shock, doesn't know what to say or do; I feel guilty for a second.
Eight takes my hand and put it in his, "I did because I didn't want to hurt you again." He looks at me, "Today I realized it was a mistake. I should known that you know be too good to see it."
"Eight, I... I didn't mean to..." I'm trying to say.
Eight moves his hand and wipes my tears. "I understood another thing today." He says, I look at him, trying to understand. "It took me some time to realize it, but it's good that I did. What I'm trying to say is that..." Eight stops and looks at me for a couple of seconds. "It's something that I wanted to say to you, I guess I'll just let it out."
Yes, please.
"I love you, Marina. You're the best thing that happened to me."
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right
These are the hands of fate
You're my Achilles heel
Today's drabble is inspired by "State of Grace" by Taylor Swift
hope you liked it ;)
