He's standing on a bridge. Designed for walking only no doubt, as it's rather narrow. Weeping willows adorn the shore to both sides of the river it traverses, and very conversational ducks swim lazily by. He sees you looking out over the water, leaning your elbows on the railing with your hands clasped before you.

He's trembling, he realizes, and unsure what to do. Despite this, he's moving closer to you as if pulled by some invisible force.
'Gravity', he thinks. 'She's my gravity'.

"Hello."
Your voice sends sparks up and down his spine, painful yet beautiful feeling. He stops walking as if stunned, and you eye him curiously for a moment before looking back out over the water.
"Hi." His voice has never sounded so small to him in his life.
"I've been waiting. What took you so long?"
"I... I... there were titans." Unsure how to respond. You were waiting for him? This makes him impossibly happy, and he moves closer.
You flap your hand dismissively.

It makes him feel more like your... his? He feels stupid thinking of you this way, but he knows it's exactly that. You are his.

He is yours.

"I.. I have something of yours Y/N."
You look at him questioningly.
"It's your necklace. I found it by a tree. I thought you were lost to me."
"Where is it?"
"It's on my nightstand. I keep it with me everywhere." He blushes at this admission, gaze seeking the ground.
"Good. I feel closer to you knowing it is in your possession."
He looks up startled.
"You mean that?"

You nod. "Is it always going to be like this? Only having these moments when we close our eyes?" You lean toward him, and the panic in his eyes makes you kind of want to laugh. Is he afraid to kiss you?
He is.
