A Gift To You

Eternal Iris | Andrew

How had he fallen so fast? It was like the story of Icarus, he'd flown too close to the sun and it burned him severely.A monster like him only brought despair and suffering.  He should have been still born maybe then...maybe if he had never been brought into this wretched world you'd still be here with him.

It happened at leos factory, he remembered how foggy it was that day, it was so murky and cold that morning. He offered you his coat and he would have given it too you! had it not been for the hunters sudden appearance.

"Jack..." Andrew gripped his shovel,"I'll crucify him" Jack the ripper was the man who'd taken you from him that fateful day. Andrew remembered it vividly.

"Wah, it's so cold!" You shivered, the skirt you usually wore did nothing to protect your legs.

"I told you to wear pants today" he scolded,ready to shrug off his coat.

"Its fine, besides don't I look cute?" You twirled for him.

"Yes,you're r very cute" he sighed and continued typing away on the cipher with you.

"Hey, what's wrong?" You could tell his normal sighes from his stressed ones. He'd been like this all month!

"Noth-"

"I dont believe that for a second! Is your shovel on its last leg again?" In the past few years(?) You'd gotten to know Andrew;you learned that he would never voice his problems, even if it hurt him later on.

"Not that it's just- I-" you both froze.

The hunter was close.

Moving away from the cipher you both hid behind an old dilapidated wall near the factory basement and ruines.

"Jack huh?" You rubbed your stomach. For the past few weeks You'd been having nothing but weird feelings in your gut. At first you chalked it up to pre-period cramps or maybe just a sickness but the feeling never stayed around for long. Today how ever it was on and off,making it bit hard to concentrate,"come on,being around him makes me feel sick"

Andrew snickered at that. Your humor must have rubbed off on him.

Soon the heartbeat died down and both of you relaxed for a moment.

"You know I love you a whole bunch right?"

He missed a calibration,"Y-yeah,same here" he still could never understand how you could just say things like that out loud! Weren't you embarrassed?!

"Your not going to say it back?" You pouted and trapped him between the cipher, caging him between your arms as well.

"___! We have a cipher to finish!" He was looking everywhere but your face,clearly sweating buckets as you leaned up closer and closer to his face,Andrew was a tall man.

"Aww your no fun!" You pulled back,"We should probably go anyways before Jack finds u-" he tugged you back into his arms and placed the softest kiss to your cheek.

"T-there, now go away!"

Your face felt like it was melting,"ok!" But you were so happy! Andrew was never the best at showing his emotions and it took forever for him to even allow you to even hold his hand. You felt proud of him, he was still the quiet man you'd fallen for but now it seemed as if he'd come out of his shell. It wasn't anything major or crazy but you saw him talking to Naib and Edgard at one point! When you first saw that you wanted to run over and smother him in kisses!
