A Witcher's Sunshine

Promises and Flowers

Geralt's POV

I lifted her up and made my way inside.
I put her down gently on the bed,
I threw a log in the fire to warm up the room.
I wanted to walk back to her and hold her all night, but all I could think of was the Bruxa's words,

'You're a kind person, you don't deserve being entangled with a Witcher like him'

'I can save you from him'

'He kills people'

He stood right there, his dark thoughts drowning him, rendering him unable to breathe, it was suffocating.

"Geralt ?" A soft voice called for him

"Hmm?" I snapped out of my thoughts and faced her, walking slowly and hesitantly towards her, I wasn't sure if she even wanted me close to her , if she trusted me to be close to her.

"What's wrong?" She asked quietly

My brows pulled together in a frown

"Nothing is wrong" I answered

She tilted her head and looked at me softly,
She shivered.

"You're cold" I mumbled, and unconsciously walked towards her, I stopped myself right before I scooped her up, I turned my head to her, holding her eyes like it was some sacred connection not to be broken.
"Is that okay ?" I asked quietly wrapping my arms around her waist.

She hummed, and nodded,
Still, it always took her off guard how he always seemed to lift her up effortlessly like she weighed nothing.

Geralt held her close to his chest walking her to the comfortable chair by the fireplace, he put her down gently, then proceeded to cover her with warm blankets.

"Hot bath ?" He asked.

"Oh, I would kill for one right now" I said

"I don't think so" he smiled

"Yeah, sure, because I am 'kind' right ?"

"Exactly" he shrugged his shoulders

I rolled my eyes, he smiled.

He actually got my bath ready and I got myself some clothes and towels before I stepped in.

"I will be quick" I mumbled

"Take your time" he said quietly

"You're drenched with water too, you'll get sick" I mumbled

"Unlikely" he said

"Because you're a Witcher ?" I raised my brow

"Hmmm" he nodded

"I didn't know Witchers were invincible"

He gave a low chuckle

"I will be quick anyway" I said holding my finger up, then sprinting inside.
God the warmth from the hot bath was heavenly, I finished off and dried myself and hair, got in my nightgown and went straight to the bedroom.

"Geralt ?" I called quietly barely above a whisper, I felt so relaxed I couldn't even speak

"Hmmm?" His head perked up looking my way.

"I finished with the bath, it feels like heaven, so go get yourself some well deserved relaxation time, I will go get our dinner ready" I mumbled head peaking in from the door
He nodded in response

About 20 minutes later, Geralt was walking downstairs, he leaned on the kitchen doorframe, watching.

"Hey," he rasped
