He felt butterflies in his chest, funny enough. The very fae he had in his presence was a walking goddess with butterfly wings. His eyes couldn't stay off of her, besides his looks to the floor for his embarrassing mentions of his dark family tale. But once he cracked a half joke of how to warm her up, he noticed she didn't laugh. Her body had already moved back into his, his wing stretched out to try and provide some warmth to her. He wanted to protect her, he felt it in him as soon as she nestled into his side. He felt all of his fears begin to wash away, no Beartooth, no wars. He just felt safe, and at home. He felt fearful of rejection, but her nervous giggling quickly broke the silence as she met his gaze.
"I know you said that jokingly, and I don't want to give myself away as easy. However, you're irresistable. Ever since I had saw you at the meeting where you and Bastian had joined.. I just couldn't help feeling drawn to you." He felt a smile wash over his face, his ears pinned back as his cheeks turned pink. "Bones, I truly feel.. a connection to you. Something is drawing me to you. Call it fate. Love at first sight. I don't know for sure.. All I know is that I don't want to be away from you.." He smiled more, his wing pulling her in tighter. She seemed nervous still, he quickly spoke up. "I know what you mean, Fara. I've felt drawn to you too, you give me butterflies... A feeling of peace, and hope." He whispered back to her, nuzzling his cheek into hers. "You don't have to stay away. I don't want you to."
"I'm sorry. I know that was more forward than your statement. If the offer still stands.. You're the only one I want to be with. You've made me feel so at home, welcomed, and loved in a short amount of time.." His eyes stayed on her as she spoke still, her smaller body still under his wing as he rested his shoulder into hers. "Please, don't be sorry. You've been my light in this dark world I've come to call home. You've made me feel good about myself for once, and I'm more than happy that I can do the same for you. I love you, Fara. I only want you." He said with a huge smile sprawled across his face. "I know it's sudden, but I'd like us to be together. I'd like to always feel this way, to be happy, in love, to feel light in my life. Before we do anything that would involve you giving yourself away to someone you're not bound to. Will you be my mate, and stay with me?" He spoke softly, his icy blue eyes not leaving her roses.
"Take from me my bones." Beartooth |
