Every Moment (ZeRoyalMexican)

Part 16 - Dawn

~Ze's POV~

"Come here, I want to show you something," Gassy urges as he grabs a tight hold of my hand and pulls me through the woods. I simply follow him without thinking much, still trying to process through the events that literally just happened. His hand has a tight grasp onto my hand and he even tightens it when I nearly tumble behind him. Both of us suddenly caved in today it seems, with both of us wishing to apologize and just gave in coincidentally at the same time. The part that really shocks me is the fact he just suddenly kissed me out of no where after all of this time I've been avoiding him and he's been avoiding me as well. Suddenly Gassy stops and glances back at me, his shining eyes seeming concerned.

"Hey, Ze, be careful going up these rocks," he explains and slowly helps me climb on top of the rocks. Throughout the entire woods it hadn't been so rocky anywhere so the large rocks do seem peculiar in the landscape. His grasp on my hand becomes lighter and his hand pulls away from me as he uses it to help himself get over a large rock. He stumbles forward on top and slowly walks away, seeming completely relaxed as he steps forward slowly. Somehow I feel like just staying down here and watching him as he seems completely mesmerized by whatever is up there. Having him pay so much attention to me all at once after having him ignore me for days is a bit suffocating anyways. Suddenly, he turns around and hurries over to me, stretching out his hand for me as his eyes are just absolutely flooding in excitement. I sigh in happiness, unable to ignore him any further as I take his hand, remembering I love being the center of his attention an awful lot. There is something about his attention that just drives me insane and yet relaxes me all at once and it is really pleasant. His hand holds onto mine as he helps pull me upwards, my foot standing firmly on the rock as I push myself up towards Gassy, stumbling onto him causing him to gently hold his arms at my sides as I just back away, rubbing at my eyes, still tired.

Gassy smiles, chuckling softly as he watches me and holds my shoulders, holding me stable as I look directly past him and towards what he definitely had wanted me to see. Slowly, I pull away from him and walk towards the center of the rock and towards the sky in the distance. The small town is hardly filled with population and pollution like basically every other city,mother small man made buildings are all standing with hard work. The roofs of these buildings are illuminated by the reddish orange color completely overtaking the sky with a beautiful bright blue color above the warm reds. Holding my fist towards my chest I feel moves by the sight, the growing red colors along with the huge source of light, surrounded by few clouds and illuminating over the few rocks and tree tops in such a way that makes me feel as if I'm just staring at some large exaggerated painting. While I've seen many sunrises, the sun rising as Chilled and I were out in the wilderness only reminding us we spent another sleepless night but I don't think any of them compared to this one. I never seriously looked at the sun rise without feeling I lost out on sleep or just being frustrated we lost another night of sleep but now all that's on my mind is that it is truly beautiful, just the beginning of another day with a person I would love to start everyday with.

"I found this while here on some mission," Gassy explains suddenly, breaking the fallen silence between us. I glance back towards him, noticing his focus on the beautiful colors shining back onto his dark eyes as he seems absolutely happy. If I had known I had the power to make such a man so happy I would have done it long ago. "I think I was injured, yeah, I had gotten my leg hurt out here and just fled to some place no one would expect a man with no ability to use his leg will go. So I climbed and damn was that hard with that hurt leg. It hurt like shit, but you know, I don't really regret it. Especially not now that I get to show you too." I feel myself heat up and turn back towards the colors. Who knew Gassy could be such a flirt? I don't really know how to handle with this romantic bullshit when I can't take them as a joke like I always do with Chilled. With feelings in return I don't want to take them as a joke, but I don't know how to respond seriously so I just won't respond at all. Still, we both remain quiet and neither of us speak another word and yet, I feel completely fine with that.
