Lucy continues walking towards Loke as she places her right knee on the bed between his thighs and leans in to give him another kiss on the cheek while her hands support herself up, being placed to the sides of his waist.
Loke freezes again, his whole body is dying to take her in his arms and lower her on top of him. He hesitates, he does not want to believe this is reality in case he gets disappointed, his eyes just stare into her as she smiles at him and lays down on top of him, resting her head on his shoulder.
"That's what I am trying to do all this time, silly."
No, the sensation was too real, it couldn't be a dream. But even so, what would Lucy san think of him if he lost his temper and let his violent animal into the wild. Those thoughts were continued by even deeper ones, why now? What has gotten into her? Why did she suddenly decides that she wants him.
He let his pride aside and wrapped his left arm around her as he tilted his head to face her, whispering in the dark.
"Lucy...why...? I have been telling you how I feel about you since the moment I met you for the first time and you kept driving me away, what changed now?"
Lucy just sighed out as she let a kiss on his shoulder above the covers before getting up on her feet and start to murmur.
"It's fine if you don't want me here, after all I almost killed you today."
She said as she straightened her clothes up a bit and took on a very sad expression.
Loke had to act quickly, he couldn't let his one and only chance flee like this. His instinct made his body blast upwards to sit up on the bed as he wrapped his arms around her before she could get away too far and pulled her back to bed , this time letting her under the blanket with him.
"No, please don't leave me Lucy, I really appreciate you doing this, and I don't want to make you feel bad but it seems very odd to me that you would do this, and I can't move on without proper explanation, my code of life would not allow me to."
Lucy sighed out yet again, but this time she couldn't get away, he had her locked in his arms properly, the only thing she could do was just be honest.
"I...don't know Loke-kun, I just realized how important you were to me I guess. You had been saving me every part of our trip, taking care of me and always being very delicate with me, all I did was cause you further pain and suffering."
While saying all that, Lucy's face was avoiding contact with Loke's eyes, she didn't want him to see her at a weak moment like this, for a woman like her, apologies are very hard to squeeze out.
Loke giggled a bit and squeezed her in his arms a bit tighter, letting his right hand trail to her chin as he tenderly raises it up, creating valid eye contact suitable for the moment making sure to let her know without any words that she does not need to be embarrassed.
"You know Lucy-, it's partially even my fault. I was too hard and annoying for you, I don't blame you for anything. Plus, you decided to be in my arms today, therefore something I did obviously lead you to this."
Lucy just smiled softly and kisses Loke's chin, leaving a wet spot as she get comfortable on his lap and drew her arms around his neck.
"I...I um...I love you, Loke."
Said Lucy right after giving him a few more tender kisses to his cheek as her eyes were glaring into his, identifying every feeling and finding some sort of "compassion for the damned".
Deep inside Loke was shocked to hear that, but he didn't show any emotion like that, he was supposed to be a gentleman and there is no room for weakness. His arms pushed her deeper into his embrace as he laid her head against his chest and kissed her forehead, whispering during the kiss.
"I love you too, Lucy."
