Sorry I meant to have this out sooner, but I decided to go back over the previous chapters and redo them. Twy and Mew's travels is still on hiatus until I wrap up some of my other stories, but I did this chapter to let you know that I still intend to finish this one.
Twy's P.O.V 1st Person
Sighing, I watched the sun's rays spill out over the treetops, filling the land with light.
Somehow as I closed my eyes letting the light warm my face, I felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over me. I had spent the night on the roof, staring up at the stars.
I had meant to spend the time thinking on my current predicament, but no matter how hard I tried to concentrate I couldn't seem to get myself to focus. My mind kept wandering to other things, mostly Mew.
Finally I had just given up and decided to think on it later; after all I had all night. That fact had been true, last night, but now it was dawn and my time was up.
It would only be a few more minutes before everyone began to wake up, and I had no intentions of hiding my encounter with both Darkria and Noon from Mew any longer.
I had never really intended to hide it from her in the first place; I had just needed some time to think on it for myself.
Now that time was up and I found myself ready to tell her. In fact I almost felt as if I needed to tell her, if only to release myself from the weight of it all.
As I felt the feeling grow I began to realize just how heavily it would weight on Mew when I told her.
Apparently she had some sort of painful past with Darkria, she never really said anything, but I could see it in her face every time I brought him up.
The last thing I wanted to do was make her sad, but it was wrong of me to hide it from her any longer… though it couldn't hurt to let her finish sleeping could it?
Mew's P.O.V 3rd Person
Mew awoke to find that Twy was no longer in his bed.
Her first reaction had been one of panic, and she had immediately begun to search around the room for him.
Immediately Mew realized how ridiculous she was being. There was no reason for Twy to be in any danger, he had probably just woken up early and decided to let her sleep in.
Reaching out tentively with her mind she called out to Twy, Where are you?
I'm here, came his response almost instantly.
"What are you doing on the roof?" asked Mew, settling down next to him after a few minutes.
"Just thinking," said Twy absentmindedly.
"What's the matter?" asked Mew, looking up at him.
"What do you mean?" asked Twy, looking away from her, not willing to look her in the eyes.
"I mean, what, is, wrong?" said Mew, putting emphasis on each individual word and floating up to his eye level so that he couldn't look away from her.
"You've been weird these last few days. You don't sleep, you barely eat, you pretend to smile, and you never laugh. You only talk when you have to and every time I ask you what's wrong you just lie to me and tell me that it's nothing. You're distant and quite, and you're scaring me. It feels like you're really far away and no matter how hard I try I can't seem to reach you," said Mew, starting out angry then beginning to tear up.
"You can be angry with me; you can even hate me, but please don't shut me out," choked Mew clinging on to Twy's shirt and burying her face in his chest.
"Yeah, okay," said Twy, a little dumbfounded. He hadn't even realized that he had been so distant, or that it had affected her that much, the last thing he had wanted to do was make her unhappy.
"Hey, turn around," said Twy, after she had calmed down a bit.
"I can't, you're holding to tightly," said Mew reluctantly.
Expecting him to let go, she was little surprised when instead he only slackened his grip slightly.
Wriggling around, she turned so that she was facing the same direction as Twy. As she did she gasped in surprise.
The sun had finally crested over the trees and had begun to shower the sky with hues of red and orange, mixing in to the natural blue and white.
We really do look like a couple, thought Mew to herself, resting her head back against his chest.
I'm sitting in his lap with his arms around me, while we watch the sunset. Normally I'd feel really awkward or shy, but right now I just feel….warm.
Twy's P.O.V 3rd Person
Twy knew that now would be the opportune time to tell Mew about Darkria, but he just couldn't bring himself to ruin this moment.
Right now, sitting with her, everything felt perfect; and after a night of cold loneliness and indecision he somehow felt warm….
