Ratigan went into the living room and stopped, for there laid Isabelle on the sofa, fast asleep. He moved close to her, seeing the small cuts around her face.
Since she came home from the hospital, hes been avoiding her , too guilty to even look at her.
He moved closer to her an knelt down, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He then saw her stir and opened her eyes. He was to about to leave when she grabbed his arm, making him sit next to her.
"You been avoiding me." she said as she sat up as she fixed her glasses, while Ratigan looked down.
"Yes...I thought it was best." he said quietly, "You are upset with me."
There was silence until Isabelle gripped his shoulder.
"Why would I be upset with you?" she asked.
"You got hurt because of me." he said, "I threw you at the window for gods sake."
Isabelle moved closer to him and cupped her cheek, making him looked at her. She saw how sad he looked and stroked his cheek with her fingers.
"Ratigan, if anything, I was at fault. I shouldn't gotten between you two. But I really didn't want you to hurt Basil."
Ratigan nodded, knowing the last thing these girls need was bloodshed and he also needs to keep his anger in check. Isabelle moved her hand away, but Ratigan murmured no and kept her hand in place. She smiled softly and their eyes locked.
Sparks flew between them and they could both feel it. Ratigan moved his hand to hr face and cupped her cheek, making her lean into his touch. They started moving closer to each other as Isabelle blushed darkly.
"Isabelle..." Ratigan said softly, "I want to-"
"Izzy!"
The two blushed and quickly backed away, seeing Leo smiling at Isabelle and walking to her. The two started to chat as Ratigan got up and left.
He's glad that Isabelle for gave him, but he chastised himself for getting close to her; she was not meant to be his.
AN: So, here we have the follow-up from the previous chapter. Isabelle didn't blame Ratigan since he knows he didn't mean it. But Ratigan still feel like crap.
We also have them experiencing a rather intimate moment, but Leo has to ruin it. Again, Ratigan doesn't think he should be with Isabelle cause of what and who he is.
Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own GMD, just Isabelle and Leo!
