Zavien
With Soh properly secured and the 'good news treat' decided on, Zavien was prepared to settle in and enjoy the time they had together. Rain pattered gently against the window, a far-off scream barely audible in the quiet coziness of the space. He couldn't tell what time it was or how much had passed. It felt like eternity and no time at all. Was this what it was supposed to feel like? Like the world outside didn't exist?
Soh's whisper eased into the silence, nudging against his heart so that it could warm it like a mini flame that might burn him if exposed too long, but he didn't care. Like a moth drawn to its destruction, Zavien cradled the heat in his chest, refusing to believe that it could cause harm when it filled him with such light and joy. "Me too," he whispered, eternally grateful of how things had worked out - even if he still couldn't comprehend why.
His hand continued to move down her arm as if reassuring himself that she was still there. "If I hadn't kissed you, do you think we ever would have ended up together?" The question came quietly with no sharp points or edges, a whisp of wondering that had filtered in as he thought about how lucky he was.
