Hi everybody! I seem to have disappeared for a while, but don't worry! I'm alright! I just wanted to write something simple and sweet, and that's what this is.
It had started not long after he had taken her as his apprentice. They had gone mining, and Zoey was smiling just as radiant as ever. He was looking at her face, when he got the strangest feeling. He couldn't explain it, yet it made him feel...good.
He started spending more time talking to her, being with her, than working on his magic, or his revenge. She made the world brighter. Everything made sense, even with her crazy, wonderful world. She shared it with him. He smiled more often, and still experienced that strange feeling.
He had his share of problems, but she helped him through them. It was just seeing her everyday. Somehow, his issues disappeared around her.
She designed their fortress. She was glowing with pride, and happy to show him around. The empty rooms now reflected her. She showed him everything, or so he thought at the time. The feeling was growing stronger now, but still unrecognizable.
But, as all good things came, they left. His problems caught up with him. The dinosaur was taken by one who had helped caused him pain before. His revenge and magic became more important. He didn't forget about Zoey, or the feeling.
In the midst of all of the threats, and revenge, she confessed something to him. She had been doing the thing he hated. Science. In all the confusion, all the constant striving for revenge, he forgot. He argued with her, he said he couldn't trust her.
She helped him, after all of that. He was blinded by his own beliefs, he didn't see hers. Then, she left...
The world, all his problems, his life, all came crashing down. She had taken away everything bad in him, and when she left, it all came back. He constantly repeated to himself that he didn't need her.
So now, their home has been destroyed by the Dragon. He sits there, alone, silent, waiting. Waiting for that feeling.
A miracle brought her back. Only then did he realize what the feeling was.
It was love.
So, that's that. It is a little short, but I'm currently working on another one-shot, much more light hearted. Thanks for reading! Bye! :)
