Selene gasped and sat up. Her hand was on her chest, her breath uneven as she looked around. Despite holding her ground in her vision or dream, she could feel the constricting feeling in her chest now that she had awoken.

Looking around she realized that she was in her room but something was different. A worried Foolish sat on the floor by her bed, his hand clutched hers.

She quickly pulled away and threw her legs over the other side of the bed. She closed her eyes as she heard Foolish stand up. He cleared his throat, "I heard you screaming while I was leading some slime. I- I couldn't just walk away." He explained.

She heard his footsteps away from the bed. He walked around, him stopping just in front of her. She listened to his actions, she heard him place a cup on her bedside.

Foolish glanced at her and sighed, "There's hot cocoa here. I'm going to go..." he trailed off and was about to leave when he heard her sigh.

He stopped just by the door and glanced, "Thank you." She whispered. Foolish couldn't help but chuckle, "Despite your tough act and pushing me away, I do care about you, Selene. And I don't care if it means me wasting my immortality because that's how much I care for you." He explained.

The builder turned the doorknob and was about to leave when Selene spoke, "Wait." She said. He turned and was shocked to see her standing up and looking at him.

An evident deep frown on her lips and an emotional look in her eyes. He sighed and his shoulders sagged, "I am so confused Selene. What do you want from me?" he asked.

She gulped and shook her head, clearly she was still scared. Foolish scoffed slightly and shook his head, "Because I for sure know what I want." He said confidently.

Selene watched her worriedly. She shook her head, "No. Don't-" "Selene. I don't care. All I care about is you. And I will not let a silly god take this feeling away." He explained as he placed his hand where his heart is.

She gulped and shook her head, Foolish huffed and walked to her. He placed his hands on her shoulders, "Tell me straight to my face that you don't feel the same-" "I am trying to keep you safe!" she yelled.

But Foolish was adamant, "I don't need your protection! I need you!" Selene stopped and clenched her jaw. "Tell you don't feel the same and I'll never show myself to you." He said.

He was giving her an ultimatum which made her lips quiver, "What- Foolish you can't just make me choose-" "I can and I am. It's either you make me stay or push me away."

Selene gulped and looked up at him. She let out a bitter laugh and from the look in her eyes, Foolish knew her choice.

He walked to her and cupped her cheeks before connecting his lips on hers. She let out a gasp but looping her arms to his neck.

As they shared the magical and sweet moment the house shook and the cup of hot cocoa fell to the ground, spilling the contents to Selene's wooden floor.
