"BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF WHAT I WILL BE WITHOUT YOU!", he screamed, his mismatched eyes softening with unshed tears.
His head dropped against her shoulder, the once secure grip loosening ever so slightly until his hand slipped down to hers, fingers brushing and sparks flying.
"I-"
"I.. without you, I'm an unarmed warrior.. a crownless king with an empty kingdom. If you go, I'll be lost.. and.. I don't want to lose myself unless it's with you.."
His words wrapped around the silence and their mixing breaths. Piercing through her being. Did he know she could never leave him? That she wouldn't even think of herself without him being pressed against her body.
Her hands move, flawlessly through the cold air before sliding around his torso and pulling him close. His body relaxes immediately in her embrace, tears slowing down as she soothes his fears away.
"You'll always have me. I will never leave you."
