They both stared at each other in confusion for a few moments before they both gathered their bearings enough to realize the gravity of the situation and come to their senses by screaming at each other.
Sabine quickly moves her hands to cover her exposed chest and pussy as she quickly dismounted him and awkwardly shuffled over to the side of the bed to hide.
Meanwhile Ezra, trying to get up, turns his body to the side, giving her a full view of his penis. The sight of which made her jaw drop and she screams even louder from the shock of seeing just how well endowed he was.
"Oh my manda! Penis!" Sabine shouts and turns away from him. "Cover up! Cover up! Oh Ezra please cover up for the love of the Force!" Sabine begs as Ezra hastily grabs a towel and wraps it around his waist to hide his private bits as Sabine does the same with a blanket wrapped around herself.
Ezra stares at her, looking at him, eyes wide and face flushed as she covers herself with the blanket, some of her bare ass and thigh still showing from under it as she sits on the ground with her legs tucked underneath her. He gulps as he feels his blood flow shift south from the sight, and the memory of her warm, bare skin, pressed against his own, as well as the sight of her chest. It was only a brief look, but it was enough to get him turned on as he looked at her holding the blanket over her heaving bosom.
"Oh by the Force Sabine…" Ezra mutters under his breath.
Sabine looks him up and down briefly, lips slightly parted as she takes a moment to appreciate his barely covered naked form as well. And like him, she liked what she saw. But given how often she's seen him shirtless at this point, she was used to the sight. And so her shock and anger at the situation quickly returned.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Sabine shouts at him. "Why are you naked?!"
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" Ezra retorts. "Why are you naked? And wet?!"
"Because I was showering you idiot!" Sabine shouts at him. "That's why I'm naked! And wet! What the hell is your excuse for coming in here and stripping naked?!"
"Because I was just outside chopping wood! And as I seem to recall, you made a remark about me being all stinky and sweaty and suggested that I should come in here and take a shower to clean up!" Ezra reminds her."So why are you mad at me for doing what you asked?!"
"Because you came in here and just started stripping while I was still in the shower!" Sabine exclaims. "Did you not hear the water running in there? How could you not know I was in there showering?"
"I did hear the water running! I just thought it was someone in a different room!" Ezra defends. "Because you told me to come in here and take a shower so I figured that probably wasn't coming from our room because why would it if you wanted me to take a shower!" Ezra exclaims.
"Well I didn't expect you to come back so soon so I thought I'd take one first!" Sabine retorts. "You're the one with the Force! You didn't sense me in there or something?"
"That's not how it works and I don't know why you're trying to blame me when you were the one who decided to get in the shower before me then surprise me by tackling me to the ground all naked and wet!" Ezra shouts at her.
"I did not tackle you!" Sabine shouts at him. "Your stupid lizard thing scared me and then I fell on you!"
"What is it with you and Rex?" Ezra asks, confused by her animosity towards the axolotl.
He looks at Rex and the lizard just shrugs and scampers into the bathroom.
"Well… What is with your dick poking out of your towel oh by the Force are you hard right now?!" Sabine exclaims.
"Well I just had a naked woman laying on top of me for the first time in my life so yeah that's going to have an effect on me and that is the result!" Ezra shouts, pointing at the tent in his towel after covering his dick with it.
Then he notices what she was covering herself with and arches an eyebrow.
"Hey, wait, isn't that the baby maker?" Ezra asks and points at the quilt she has pressed against her naked body.
Sabine looks down and realizes that it is in fact the quilt, named for its ability to increase the fertility of the couples that make love underneath it. So she screams again and tosses it off of her. Then she screams again and covers herself with her arms when she realizes that she's naked in front of Ezra again and he screams too and looks away from her.
"J-just go! Go shower! You stinky! Sweaty! Stupid Jetti!" Sabine shouts at him, removing her hand from her breast to shoo him away before remembering she's exposed and covers it again.
"Okay! Okay! Fine! And maybe I'll jump out at you naked when I'm done too!" Ezra threatens and Sabine growls and chucks a towel at him that he sends back at her with the Force.
"Dry off and put some clothes on!" Ezra scolds her before going into the bathroom and slamming the door behind him.
Sabine stares at the door with her jaw hanging in shock from what just transpired.
"I saw Ezra naked…" Sabine mutters to herself. "Ezra saw me naked…" She mumbles and pulls her towel closer to herself. "I saw his…" her eyes go wide and she stands up. "I've got to talk to Ahsoka!" She exclaims and reaches for her body glove.
Ezra leaned against the door of the bathroom and sighed. Tilting his head back and running his hand through his hair.
"Sabine…" He moans and winces as he recalls the image of her naked, straddling his lap.
Sure he didn't get to look at her for long but…his mind could fill in the blanks from the glimpse he got of her and that was enough to make his cock twitch.
Ezra groans and looks down at it, knowing he would have to take care of it. A cold shower out to do the trick. But as he makes his way to the shower, and gets inside, and rests his hand on the faucet handle, he closes his eyes and recalls that incredible sight again. And then his hand leaves the faucet handle and wraps around his cock.
He pictured what might have happened had she not run away from him, but instead backed up and sat on his dick.
He moans and rests his head against his forearm pressed against the shower wall as he pictures her fucking herself on his dick while in reality he jerks himself off, moaning her name.
"Sabine, Sabine, Sabine….SABINE!" Ezra shouts and moans as he cums. Hard.
Ezra had to blink his eyes a few times to get the stars out of his vision. And even when they cleared, he was still lightheaded and dropped to his knees in the shower.
"I…need to find Thrawn…" He says to himself before turning the faucet handle to douse himself in cold water.
Ahsoka and Icarus sat on the balcony outside her room, drinking tea and discussing Jedi philosophy. But also relaxing and listening to the birds chirping from the orchard as they made their nests in the trees on the homestead.
"Thank you for letting me come hang out here Ahsoka. It's so nice to be around someone who I don't have to worry about hearing inappropriate thoughts from." Icarus thanks her and sips from his cup.
Until the peace was broken by Sabine bursting through the door, panting, and shouting "AHSOKA HELP! I SAW EZRA'S PENIS!"
Icarus just stares at the crazed woman, blinks, then sighs, closes his book, thanks Ahsoka for her time and calmly leaves the room to leave the girls to their very important and inappropriate discussion, while he left to consider whether or not he still wanted this woman to be his mother.
Ahsoka didn't even hear Icarus leave. She was still stunned by what just came out of Sabine's mouth. She blinks and stares at Sabine with her mouth hanging open and her tea spilling out of its cup and into one of the plants on the balcony.
"You saw his what?" Ahsoka asks.
"His! His…thing!" Sabine screams in frustration. "His man thing! His dangly man thing!" Sabine shouts and wiggles her finger down by her crotch to demonstrate it. "The one part of him I was terrified of seeing and now I've seen it!"
"Oh…so that was the disturbance in the Force I sensed earlier." Ahsoka realizes.
"Well it was definitely disturbing!" Sabine exclaims. "Well…actually…" She back tracks, placing her hand on the back of her head and rubbing it gently. "It wasn't really disturbing at all honestly." She smiles and her cheeks color. "I mean I didn't really get that good of a look at it but from what I saw, it seemed like a decent length and… OH MY MANDA NO! THIS IS WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF!"
"Okay, Sabine, calm down." Ahsoka says and goes over to the panic stricken girl and holds her hands. "What happened? How did you manage to see his dick?"
"Well…I was taking a shower, and then he came into our room, also to shower, and somehow he didn't hear me in there so he stripped naked and then I came out to get a towel but his stupid little pink lizard friend scared me and I jumped, landed on him and we both fell down and I landed on top of him naked!" Sabine explains.
"So you jumped him and pinned him under you, naked?!" Ahsoka exclaims.
"No! I-I didn't jump him! I…I just…I tripped." Sabine explains.
"And you landed on his dick?" Ahsoka asks.
"NO!" Sabine shouts. "No! No no no no oh Force no! I just…landed sort of…close…to it…"
"Oh for the love of the Force…" Ahsoka sighs and places her hand on her forehead and shakes her head. "Sabine…you are going to drive this poor boy insane if you keep sending him mixed signals like this."
"You think he's the one being driven insane?!" Sabine exclaims. "What about me?! I can't stop having these weird sexual thoughts about him and I don't know why! I must be going crazy! I mean it's Ezra kriffing Bridger for Force's sake! I should want to punch him in the face, but instead I want to sit on his face!" Sabine exclaims.
"Who says you can't do both?" Ahsoka suggests with a shrug and Sabine glares.
Sabine grabs a pillow and shoves her face in it and groans again before lifting her head up.
"What is happening to me?" Sabine grumbles. "I'm demisexual for Force's sake! I shouldn't be feeling like this! Why is Ezra Bridger of all people making me have a sexuality crisis!" She exclaimed before shoving her face back into the pillow.
"Well…maybe he is but not in the way you think?" Ahsoka suggests.
Sabine picks her head and arches an eyebrow at the Jedi.
"You're demisexual right? So what does that mean?" Ahsoka prompts.
"It means that I don't feel sexually attracted to someone unless I have a strong emotional connection to them like a really deep friendship or romance-" Sabine explains then stops as her eyes go wide.
Ahsoka smiles, sensing the shift in her emotions as Sabine finally realizes what this meant.
"Oh…Oh…OH KRIFF! OH MY GODS!" Sabine exclaims and holds her head in her hands.
"There it is." Ahsoka says and sips her tea.
"I'm in love with Ezra…" Sabine mutters. "I'm in love with Ezra oh my FORCE I'm in love with Ezra!" She shouts.
"Finally!" Ahsoka exclaims in relief. "I've been waiting for like ten years for you to finally figure that out!"
"I…I…but…he…and…I…and…HOW?! How the kriff did I fall in love with that gorgeous, kind, selfless, caring, understanding, sweet, compassionate, loyal, strong, dedicated moron- oh kriff that's why!" Sabine shouts and throws the pillow on the ground. "He's absolutely perfect for me! He's my soulmate and I hate it! Is there something in this room I can break? I need to break something!" Sabine declares and looks around the room with her fists clenched.
"Yeah considering we don't live here and we're only guests, I don't think that's a good idea. And do you hate it though?" Ahsoka asks and stirs her tea.
"Yes! Is that not obvious?!" Sabine shouts at her.
"But why though? He's not that annoying little kid from when you first met anymore. He's grown up into your soulmate! You said so yourself! Why wouldn't you want to be with him?" Ahsoka asks.
"Because! I…I…" Sabine trails off and crosses her arms, rubbing them as she looks at the ground. "I already rejected him once. And he moved on. He got over his crush on me and we became just friends. Nothing more. And I thought that would be fine! I thought that was perfect! It was supposed to be perfect! But then of course he went and got a growth spurt, and became a very skilled and capable warrior, and got so mature and started caring for me as a person and then that's when I started falling in love with him!" Sabine exclaims in anger of the irony. "And I got scared! Because we were in a war! I knew how real the possibility was that he could die! And I was horrified of losing someone I love like that! But then I ended up losing him anyway and the only thing that kept me sane was denying how I felt because then it wouldn't hurt so much! And now I've found him again and he's hot now and he's still absolutely perfect for me, but even though I'm literally swooning for him, I still can't tell him because if I lost him once I could lose him again and I saw what that did to Hera and I just can't risk that!" Sabine exclaims and Ahsoka opens up her arms and lets Sabine fall into a hug.
Ahsoka hugs her and rubs her back as the Mandalorian girl sobs against her shoulder.
"I understand why you did what you did." Ahsoka says and Sabine pulls back, still sniffling. "But how is Hera doing now? She seemed fairly happy before we left didn't she?"
"Y-yeah." Sabine says and rubs her eye and sniffs again. "She still misses Kanan though. She misses him every day."
"Of course she does. No one expects her not to. The pain of losing him will always be there. I doubt she'll ever lose it. But each day it gets better." Ahsoka reminds Sabine and brushes her fingers gently through her bangs. "And that pain doesn't stop her from enjoying her life, and being a loving mother to the son he left her with, just like how you and Ezra have Lu'na and Icarus now. Kanan is still with her. Even if she can't see it, he's there, watching over her, and Jacen, and you, and Zeb, and Chopper and Ezra too, even all the way out here I'm sure! No one's ever really gone Sabine. But the will of the Force cannot be changed. You can't prevent him from leaving you again, either temporarily or for good. That's out of our control. But what you can control is what you're going to do with the time you have him here with you. What was the one thing Hera warned you about before we left to come here?" Ahsoka asks and grips Sabine's arms tightly. "Why are you still wasting time?"
Sabine looks at Ahsoka and lets out a soft sob before a look of determination forms on her face and Ahsoka smiles.
"Thrawn!" Ezra shouts, running down the hall shirtless in his gray sweatpants as he makes it to the Chiss's door.
"Thrawn! Thrawn! Thrawn!" Ezra shouts and knocks on the door over and over and over again.
"What!" He hears the Chiss shout from the other side of the door before opening it and finding Ezra standing there looking panicked and wet. "What are you doing here? Did you shower or something? Why are you wet? And why do you look so scared?"
"Because I was going to shower but then I saw Sabine naked and I can't-" Ezra shouts and Thrawn slams the door in his face.
"Hey!" Ezra shouts and knocks on the door again.
"Go away Bridger! I'm not interested in hearing any more!" Thrawn shouts from the other side of the door.
"Oh come on man! I really need your help!" Ezra begs. "Please! I need your sage wisdom!"
"Bridger I myself have never even been in a relationship. What makes you think I could be of any assistance in this matter?" Thrawn asks.
"Because you're a master strategist and you know how to read people so I figured you'd be able to help me come up with a plan?" Ezra asks, stroking his ego a bit to try to get him to open up.
Thrawn sighs and Ezra hears that and smiles. He opens the door and reluctantly motions for Ezra to step inside.
"Thank you!" Ezra says and runs inside. "I really need your help on this!"
"I can tell!" Thrawn says and shuts the door behind them. "But if this matter is so urgent then why did you take your shower before coming here?"
"I didn't! I went into the shower because I couldn't get the image of Sabine straddling me naked out of my head and so I jerked off in there and-" Ezra rambles before Thrawn yells in disgust.
"Bridger! Please! I don't need to know every detail of your intimate encounter with Miss Wren!" Thrawn begs him.
"How did she even get into such a position with you?" Thrawn asks.
"Because she was in the shower before me and then she came out and just attacked me naked!" Ezra exclaims.
"Given how shy Miss Wren is around you as of late I highly doubt that's something she would do on purpose." Thrawn surmises.
"Yeah well she did give my ass a squeeze while I was chopping wood this afternoon and she let me do the same to her to make it even, so clearly she's at least warming up to me." Ezra suggests.
Thrawn just blinks and shakes his head before pressing his hands together and letting out a deep sigh.
"Bridger…how are you so clueless about her obvious feelings for you?!" Thrawn exclaims.
"Because I'm not clueless!" Ezra shouts back. "I saw her naked! And she got mad at me! I didn't even need the Force to realize that she made it very clear how she felt about it!"
"Well obviously she would! You saw her naked when she didn't want you to! Anyone would be upset by that! I imagine you are too!" Thrawn shouts and Ezra nods in agreement. "One of your greatest flaws is that you always take things at face value. You didn't see Maul as a threat when he clearly was, you keep trusting Hondo despite his long history of double crossing people, and now here you are again only focusing on what Sabine is telling you with her words and not her heart. Yes she may come across as angry and frustrated and lash out at you but think about why that is! What is the true source of that frustration and conflict you sense in her? Once you find that you will have your answer."
Ezra sighs and crosses his arms, furrowing his brow and looking at the ground.
Thrawn places a comforting hand on his bicep.
"I know that because of your past together you need her to make the first move. I understand that line of reasoning and I think it is a sound one. But Sabine Wren is a very stubborn woman. She will not open up her heart easily. And you know that. So you may need to at least do something to start that dialogue to allow her the chance to express herself to you." Thrawn explains. "I think you can handle that much at least. And be honest with her. Tell her the truth, as necessary, and try your best to not be an idiot."
Sabine and Ezra both step out of Ahsoka and Thrawn's rooms and shut the doors at the same time, gasping as they both turn and see each other standing at the end of the hallway. Both of them turn away from each other, cheeks coloring and awkwardly staring at the ground and rubbing either their arm or the back of their head, wondering how to proceed.
They both turn to move towards their room at the same time and look up and gasp when they see that they're standing right in front of each other at the door. This time they both keep staring at each other, but Sabine notices Ezra's eyes keep darting back and forth between her face and her chest.
"What are you staring at?" Sabine asks, wrapping her arms around herself, feeling self conscious about her chest.
Well, here it goes. Time to be honest. Ezra thinks to himself. He takes a deep breath and looks her in the eyes.
"W-when we uh…when the…uh…t-thing happened, I-I saw you…I s-saw your tits." Ezra admits.
Sabine cringes and covers her chest with her arms.
"I-it's okay though!" He assures her.
"Is it?!" Sabine exclaims. "How is it okay? You saw my bare chest!"
"Yeah but, I-I didn't get a good look at them! Just a brief glance! I don't even really remember what they look like! Okay t-that was a lie…I-I do. But i-it's not like I got like a full picture or anything! You know I only saw them for like a second so the memory is fuzzy-not that your breasts look fuzzy! I-I don't think breasts can be fuzzy actually, can they? I mean maybe if you count lasats and I guess wookies, I mean I've shared a room with Zeb I've seen him shirtless and compared to him your chest is-OW!" Ezra screams as Sabine gasps in offense and slaps him in the face.
Ezra holds his throbbing cheek in his hand and looks at her, upset and confused.
"Why did you do that?!" He exclaims.
"Because you just compared my tits to Zeb's!" Sabine shouts at him in disgust.
"I wasn't!" Ezra defends. "I was trying to say yours are nothing like his! Obviously they're not! I only got a brief glimpse but from what I remember yours are…" Ezra trails off as his gaze drops back to her chest and Sabine furrows her brow as she traces his gaze from his eyes to her chest. "so…wow-OW!" Ezra shouts as Sabine slaps him in the face again on the other side.
"What did I do wrong that time?! I just told you you have nice tits! It was a compliment-OW! KRIFF!" Ezra shouts as she knees him in the crotch and he keels over in front of her.
She stood there, with her arms crossed and a frown on her face as she waited for him to recover to get a proper apology. However, she would not get one. Instead, she just got another argument.
"Okay, okay, I deserved that! But as I also seem to recall, you also saw my dick so I think that makes us even doesn't it?" Ezra argues.
"Yeah maybe it would've if you didn't go describing what you thought of my tits!" Sabine argues.
"Well you're free to describe what you thought of my dick if you want to make it even!" Ezra argues.
"That's not the point Ezra! It's just…you went and made things awkward now and I don't like it!" Sabine explains.
"I'm the one who went and made things awkward?" Ezra exclaims. "Sabine ever since you found me you have been bouncing back and forth between pulling me close and then pushing me as far away from you as possible! And I understand that it's been a while since we've seen each other and that we've changed and that things won't be entirely the same as they used to be but I'd at least like to know what you actually want out of a relationship with me!"
Sabine feels her heart leap to her throat and she begins to tear up.
"So what do you want Sabine? Please! Just tell me! Because I don't know how much longer I can take this confusion!" Ezra shouts.
"I…I…" Sabine stammers then sniffles as a sob claws its way up her throat. "I just wanted you back!" She yells at him and cries.
Ezra's heart broke at the sight of her crying.
"Sabine I-" He starts and reaches out to her and tries to comfort her but she pulls away from him.
"I just wanted things to go back to the way they were but then you went and…and…became this!" She shouts and gestures to him. "And now things will never be the same again!"
And with that she storms inside their room and slams the door, leaving him out in the hallway.
Ezra's eyes brim with tears and he rests his forearm on the door and leans his head against it. His heart clenching as he hears her sobbing from inside. He wanted to comfort her, to hug her and pull her close and assure her that everything would be okay but it was clear she needed to be alone right now.
Rex climbs up on his shoulder and gives him a sad look and Ezra gives him a small smile.
"I know buddy, I kriffed up again." Ezra says and wipes his teary eyes. "I just don't know what else to do. I want to be in her life but I can't unless I know where I fit in it. I thought I knew, I thought it would be the same place as it was ten years ago but now…now I just don't know. But I'll give her all the time she needs to figure it out. It doesn't matter how, as long as I'm with her, that's enough for me."
He holds out his hand for Rex, and the lizard scampers into his palm before Ezra walks away downstairs, where he was sure he would be spending the night on the couch.
Sabine descended the stairs that morning feeling tired, like she was still asleep. She yawns and rubs her sleepy eyes as she reaches the bottom of the stairs. But then when she removes her hands, she finds a sobering sight. Everyone was gathered in the main living area, with sad looks on their faces. One person, notably, missing. Sabine's heart clenched.
"W-what's going on?" Sabine asks and searches the small crowd of people for Ezra. "W-where's Ezra?"
"I'm so sorry my dear." Thelma says sadly and Sabine starts shaking.
"Sabine…he…" Ahsoka says. "He left. Again. He's gone. And we don't know where he went."
"No…" Sabine mutters and her vision blurs and white noise rings in her ears as her worst fear comes true. "No no no no he can't be gone again! No!"
"He is Sabine." Ahsoka states again, even though it pained her to say it. "I'm so sorry. For you, and now the kids too."
Sabine chokes out a sob and holds out her arms to the kids as they rush into her embrace and she hugs them both close as all three of them cry.
"Why didn't you tell him mama?" Lu'na sniffles.
"He would've stayed if you told him!" Icarus shouts at her.
"Why did you wait?" Another familiar voice says and Sabine looks up and sees Hera standing before her, the light from the kitchen window shining around her, making her look like a ghost or an angel of some sort.
"I told you not to wait!" She shouts and starts to cry herself.
Sabine's heart felt like it was going to burst in agony and she let out a loud wail of regret before closing her eyes and keeling over.
Then she sat up in her bed, gasping for breath as her eyes adjusted to the dark bedroom and the faint light from the outdoor lights coming in through the window, indicating that it was still nighttime.
Sabine wipes her face, finding it was wet with tears before clutching her chest.
"It was a dream…" She mutters to herself. "Just a dream…just a dream…" She repeats over and over again.
Until she reaches to the empty side of the bed and panics when she finds it empty. She turns to Ezra's side and frantically feels around, finding only sheets and a mattress.
Jabba jumps up on the bed, looking at her with concern.
"I kriffed up again!" She tells him. "I never want to lose him again! Never! I need him!" She declares as she throws the covers back, climbs out of bed and runs out of the bedroom with Jabba following her.
Ezra was asleep on the couch in the main living area, when he awoke with a start when he sensed a disturbance in the Force. Sabine. She was terrified of something. He immediately throws off his blanket, Rex screaming as he's thrown across the room and Ezra gasps in fear and quickly uses the Force to stop his trajectory and let him land gently on the mantle of the fireplace. Just in time for Jabba and Sabine to come running down the stairs as Ezra stands up and goes over to her.
"Sabine what's-" He starts before she cuts him off.
"Oh thank the Force that you're still here!" She says and runs into his arms and hugs him tight.
She buries her face into his chest and cries, getting him wet but Ezra doesn't care. He hugs her back, holding her tightly in order to comfort her and reassure her that he was here since that seemed to be what was scaring her.
"Sabine what happened?" Ezra asks.
"I had a nightmare that you left again." Sabine chokes out before catching her breath so she could continue. "And then when I woke up…you…you weren't there and I just…" She sobs again and buries her face in his chest, wetting his skin with her tears as he hugs her back, tightly, rubbing her back with his hand as he lets her get it all out.
He was tearing up too. Feeling guilty like he somehow caused this even though she was the one that kicked him out of their room. But that wasn't what she needed to hear right now, or ever. All that mattered right now was her, and making sure she knew how devoted he was to her that hurting her like that again would be the last thing he would ever want to do.
"Don't you…" Sabine starts and pulls back to look at him. "Don't you dare!" She smacks his chest with both of her hands. "Ever scare me like that again, Ezra Bridger!" She hits him again. "Don't! You! Dare!" She shouts, hitting him with each word before collapsing against his chest and sobbing again.
Tears slide down Ezra's cheeks as he hugs her tight, resting his head on top of hers and gently swaying her, trying to soothe her, and himself.
Once he feels her calm down he pulls back to look at her, sniffling and wiping the tears from her eyes as he places his hands on her shoulders to steady her and keep her looking him in the eyes.
"Sabine, you know I'll never leave you like that again willingly. I promised you. And I would never break a promise to you, no matter what. The only place I ever want to be for the rest of my life is at your side on Lothal, with our kids, raising them to be warriors and enjoying the world we fought to create for them!" Ezra reaffirms for her and she smiles at him, her tears of sadness turning into tears of joy. "And I'm so so sorry for leaving you alone all those years..." Ezra says and Sabine smiles gently and sniffles. "I had somewhat of an idea of how much me leaving would hurt you but...it breaks my heart to see how it's affected you in ways I can't put into words. And I will spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you."
"Ez..." Sabine mutters so softly.
"And I'm sorry about confronting you about your feelings like that. I-I've just been so confused lately with everything I've sensed from your feelings being different than what you're telling me and I-I just want some clarity-"
Sabine cuts him off as she gently grabs his face in her hands and before Ezra has any time to react, Sabine pulls her face close to his and kisses him.
Ezra's mind went blank. His entire sense of reality shattered the second Sabine's lips met his. He had been dreaming of this moment since the very moment he met her. And now it was finally happening. His first kiss. And it was with the love of his life. And he was just standing there like a dumbstruck idiot while Sabine pressed her soft lips against his over and over again, hoping for him to reciprocate. If only she could read his mind. Well, thankfully he could read hers.
Just as Sabine was about to give up. Heartbroken thinking that the man she loves didn't return her affections, Ezra wraps one arm around her waist and places his other hand on the back of her head and pulls her in closer to his body and deepens their kiss.
Sabine's heart that had sunk rose again in joy and the soft moan she let out assured Ezra that he made the right choice and he closed his eyes as she closed hers. And Ezra relaxed his body and his mind, after countless years, to finally allow himself to indulge in the woman he loved, now that she finally made their life changing first move.
