Ashes on your pale skin ~ Chris Motionless

Chapter 6:

In a complete and utter daze from what he's just been told, Chris doesn't know what to other than to look over to the girl in question.

The more he looks, the more he sees the combination of both himself and Amy in her.

From the way her extremely dark hair lays, the same colour as his; to the band shirts and patches that she has, claiming their place on her jacket, clearly being introduced to her by Amy.

She shares so many characteristics as him, and despite never wanting kids, he can hardly turn her away now.

The young girl who he seen spotted earlier, dancing away at the barrier, had been a cute sight to him, but finding out that she's his; well, he's extremely smitten.

In his head he's already made the decision, so it's easy enough for him to make his way over to her, from where she's stood, chatting to Vinny.

He noticed a somewhat large amount of skittles scattered on the floor, right beside where Justin's been sitting, and notices the bag in Vinnys hand.

He's definitely been throwing them at his head.

He suppresses the laugh that wants to make its way through through his system, and instead notices how much his daughters body language has changed, just from him simply stepping away from him.

She seems relatively relaxed, and he curses himself for not picking up on it straight away.

As he makes his way over however, she catches onto him, and now that he's looking out for it, he watches the way that her body subtly changes.

He has no way to describe how she's looking other than a kicked puppy; and it breaks his fucking heart.

Sure, he's only known for less than a few hours, but his heart is already dangerously aching for the young girl that he's never had a chance to get to know.

He doesn't really know to break the news to her, or to tell her that he knows.

He's never been amazing at awkward conversations, so he decides to just force himself to blurt it out.

"Ash ceruilli" he says, speaking in a kind tone, but loud enough that he's sure that his band mates also hear the words coming from his mouth.

The second that he says that, he sees her face morph, and watches as she completely turns to face him, focusing her full attention on him.

Ash, in complete and utter shock, forces herself to watch for any signs that he could be ready to turn her away.

Sure, she's ecstatic; but she's also wary.

Nothing in her life has ever came without a price.

Chris is able to pick up the emotions crossing over her face, and feels his heart break even more.

He hates that she's even thinking that she's unwanted by him.

So he does what he thinks is best, and opens up his arms for her.

Something clicks in her brain, and she all but runs full force at him, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

Chris wonders if she could've knocked him over with the pure force behind her run, but she doesn't, due to her small size.
