and I tried to remember how nice it had been
With one hand still wrapped in the front of his shirt and the other cupping his cheek, Vai is anything but nervous or worried now. They kiss and it dawns on her properly, what he’s asked and what she’s agreed to, and if anything it makes it all the sweeter. Eyes closed as well, she lets out a breathless laugh and releases his shirt to splay her hand across his chest. ”Hey, now. Rude of me?” she objects, not sounding even remotely outraged.
”I was resigned to just being of use to other people, after everything that’s happened,” she admits. ”Mighty rude of you to make me feel like I mattered. Like I deserved something for myself.” Sighing, she draws back to flash him a lopsided smile. ”How dare you,” she says, trying and failing to look annoyed about it.
