THE VALKYRIE
You bring clarity when I can't see past
All the places where I made my mistakes
All the places where I made my mistakes
She can sense the change in him as he watches her, and though it makes her stand a little straighter, head tilting just a little in curiosity, she doesn't shy away from his piercing eyes. Unaware that's precisely what he's seeing - the bareness of her heart and soul, the vulnerability that has become more comforting and natural than terrifying. She starts to figure it out when the wonder in his expression becomes clear, and her own melts from playful petulance into something painfully lovesick and soft. "I'm glad," she murmurs, envisioning years ahead of them wherein he could kiss her exactly that way and finding that the humor falls away in light of something so tender and hopeful.
Still, she goes into their final tasks with a grin as he kisses her quickly and tugs on her hair, heart light. It's crazy to think they've made it here after everything; sorting cutlery and hand towels, taking back every bit of peace the world ever stole from them. In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.
Laughing and shaking her head at his sheepish offer, Hotaru crosses over to him and hip-checks him closer to the stove with bird still in hand. "Let's do stew, but how about you're in charge of the chopping?" Her grin is unrepentant, always happy to take the chance to tease him over his lackluster cooking skills.
