~ my darling ~ Lady Dimitrescu x female reader

Apologies

You thought the first interaction back with your lady after not seeing her for a bit would've been comforting..instead you felt genuinely terrified

The woman who had brought you the most comfort in life was here standing over you, hurting you- something she had vowed to never do to you

She grabbed you by your shirt and pulled you up, you looked into her eyes- they were full of sorrow and anger, mixed with relief and comfort

You knew deep down she didn't want to hurt you, she herself was hurting and was taken by a blind rage she couldn't control

You could see in her face she regret slapping you and slamming your body into the castle walls and roofs, you seen she just wanted to caress you in her arms and kiss your worries away

With heavy huffs your lady slowed her breathing down- still maintaining cold eye contact with you

Her grip was tight on your shirt, keeping you above ground- you stayed still, grabbing onto her hand with yours for extra support

"Do you know how worried I was?" her voice wasn't the soft and loving one you've heard many times before- she spoke to you as if you were simply another mere maiden to her

"I'm sorr-"

"Quiet." She quickly cut in "I was worried sick for you, you were gone, no trace left behind" her bottom lip twitched slightly and her voice was wavering

'Is..she about to cry?' you pouted, staying silent as her lecture went on

"You were gone! And I thought you left for good! I thought you left ME for good!" Her voice broke, she let go of your shirt, causing you to fall back to the ground- falling to your knees

Alcina shook, she broke down into tears and fell onto her knees after you

"Alcina.." you stood up fully after composing yourself

"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to leave, I just..I don't know" you shrugged "I was being stupid" you reached out for your lady with the only hand you had left and frowned

Caressing her cheek gently- you spoke softly "I didn't mean to frighten you.. I wasn't thinking straight and I was angry..I was so angry they took my arm" you inhaled sharply, biting the insides of your cheeks "I needed some time to think.."

Her heavy sobs slowed down- the sound of her crying shattered your heart

Her head rose slowly to meet yours, you kept your hand on her cheek- gently moving your thumb to caress it

Her eyes slowly moved over to meet your missing arm

"Oh..draga mea.." she spoke between small sobs

You shook your head lightly, tilting her head up to meet your gaze once again- averting her attention from your lost limb

"Don't pay any mind.." you wiped off some of her tears with your thumb, gently leaning in to kiss every inch of her face

Shockingly- she let you perform such action, being hesitant at first because you didn't know if she was going to hurt you again or not

The moment was tense, tender- finally you pulled away and looks at her pale face, noting that a soft red appeared on her cheeks- a rare sight to see

"You're blushing mon amour.." you let out a slight chuckle

"I am not. I do not blush" she scoffed and stood up fully once again- gathering her composure once more

'I don't know if she's still mad or if she feels a bit better now that I'm here..' you thought sadly and hung your head a bit low
