Love's Desire

Comfort

(Vexian's POV) 

"Todd, could you move all my arrangements to tomorrow please?" I asked, sitting on a set beside the bed which Jadion was laying, grasping his still warm and soft hand tightly as if when I let go I would never feel the silky touch of his fingers around mine. I had never held his hand before, but I was more focused on his safety than fanboying about holding his hand.

"Why?" Todd asked in a, 'Is this about what I think this is?' tone but with a slight smile on his face. "I want to make up what happened a few hours ago." I said, returning the smile but with a hint of sadness. "Heh, I'll leave you two then~ There's a glen on our side of the woods a little walk from town." He said, a cheeky smirk creeping across his face, before sneaking out of the door and leaving us. "HEY! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT DUMBASS! GET BACK HERE!" 

Conveniently five minutes later Jadion woke up, I could tell because he jumped up and fell off the bed. "OH CUPIDS-" He yelled before his masked face met the shiny, wood planks of the floor. I giggled, teasingly. He muttered something that was probably a curse upon my bloodline and then pulled himself back onto the bed. 

"Fuck, I need to get back to my sister." He mumbled after a few seconds of silence. He slowly sat up from the bed. "Wait." I grabbed his wrist, "Uhm....  We- Uh... I'm sorry. I went too far... A-and you got hurt because of me.. I'm sorry for not believing you before. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable. I'm sorry for everything.... I really am. Forgive me....?" I cupped both of my hands around his and pulled them closer to me. Silence froze the room.

"Pffttt, if you wanted me to stay you could have just asked, stupid." He jokingly scoffed, pulling our hands back. "No. I mean it. I'm so, so, so sorry. I understand if you don't even want to see my face anymore, I understand if you don't talk to me ever again. But I'm sorry." I declared pulling our hands back, in doing so I accidently pulled him closer to me. I closed my eyes, embarrassed. 

I felt two arms wrap around me, pulling me into an embrace. "I-I-"I tried to stutter a sentence but to no avail. "I.... I think I can forgive you." He mumbled walking back from the warm hug. I smiled, softly but sincerely. "I'm going to make it up to you. I promise." I said confidently. 

I stood up, walked over to the closet and picked out a bright blue cloak with tiny golden accents for myself and a deep maroon coloured cloak with small silver trimmings for Jadion. "Here. We're going to this glen not to far from town but I may get spotted if I'm not wearing a cloak, and who knows someone else in town could know what your mask means."

I put on the blue cloak and fastened the button at the neck of the cloak. Jadion had a bit of trouble with this. "Why is this so fucking hardddd...?" He groaned annoyed at the cloak for being so difficult to fasten. I chuckled, stepping forwards so I could do his button for him. "Your such an idiot." I teased. He scowled at me and then turned his head away. I smiled.

We managed to sneak out of the castle, stopping at the kitchens for a small picnic, and town, heading for the forest. "See? I told you there was a glen here." I said sitting down on the surprising dry grass. Snuggled right in the opening of the woods, just out of sight but was able to find their way back.

We sat down together and Jadion opened the basket of food. "I thought you said you were getting a small picnic? There's like.. 7 fucking courses in here!" He questioned. I giggled into my cloak's sleeve, "Hey! I saw that! You... You asshole" He yelled, angry at my teasing. "Sorry, your just so funny sometimes." I laughed, playfully.

I blinked and suddenly he was gazing at me, "Take off your mask you dumbass, I wanna see your face." He paused and then shook his head, after doing this he turned it the other way.  I shuffled over to him. He didn't notice as I was getting closer. I lifted my hand to him. "EH?!" He exclaimed noticing me. He undid the strap on his mask and lowered it. I absentmindedly caressed his cheek. "What are you doing?" He asked, in a worried tone. "Oh sorry!" I muttered before taking my hand away and starting to shuffle backward.
