They always make my day~
Warnings: It seems bad when you first read it, but it's a mostly innocent drabble. xD
"Maka," he whispered breathlessly from above her, "I love you."
Her emerald eyes widened, as if trying to completely take him in, his head to his toes. She remained silent, wordless and speechless as he just as intently absorbed her delicate contours.
He believed in no regrets, but in this moment, he suddenly wished time would stop, and return to before this horrendous complication. He wondered if frozen time would be quieter than this.
She didn't believe in love, not after having a father like she did. He played with hearts like toys, exciting at first then suddenly losing interest when a better version came along. She knew the moment she accepted Soul's invitation to an intimate relationship she risked this sort of sentiment not just on his side, but hers as well; yet she never actually expected it to happen. Not after following her father through crowded streets as he wooed one coquette right after another.
How could she truly trust a man after living with one like that?
Well, she figured as she gingerly traced his jaw with trembling fingers and softened at the sight of his crimson eyes, living with a man like this changed that, didn't it?
She smiled slowly. "I'm glad."
He arched an eyebrow, hoping she would elaborate after such a mystifying response.
"I do, too."
She feared nothing except perhaps history repeated, but if she didn't say how she genuinely felt now, she would have regret letting him go and having no history at all.
