You took hold of his hand and led him towards the astronomy tower.

Walking slowly at his pace. making sure you enjoyed every second. his hand was engulfed in yours while his fingers softly brushed over your own in a slow dance.

This was true peace. The feeling of having someone, who cares for you and loves you sincerely. Was something you always wished to acquire.

You often witnessed that beautiful love, between your parents. Hoping that one day you would be lucky enough. to have a person who made you feel happy. just from the sole purpose of being in their presence.

Alas though, you found him in the most unexpected places, and under unpredictable circumstances.

Ominis Gaunt!..

His pale skin glowed with every passing of a candle lit hallway, that reflected it's light on his face.

His eyes droopy with sleep, as he looked like he was trying his best to keep them open.

His skin Glistening like snow on a clear winter day. inviting you in wholeheartedly to touch it and grab it.

But you refrained yourself. being content with the knowledge that he was already yours. And for now you were happy with just his mere presence next to you.

He made sure you were alright the entire time. Not leaving your side no matter how tired he was. he allowed himself to be guided by you. Not questioning you and fully trusting you. As he closed his eyes in content.

You stared at him with a smile. The banging of your once calm heart. racing at the thoughts of holding him close to you tonight, until you drift away in a peaceful sleep.

He was yours and yours alone.

finally after some walking, you stopped in front of the big painting. that hung wide, and spread vast in front of the door, that belonged to the room of requirements.

Hoping that Deek was not there to ruin your little escapade.

After all you did tell the elf he didn't have to stay in the room. and that you would take care of it from now on by yourself.

Sharing a space with someone, you didn't know didn't feel right. It was rather uncomfortable and uncalled for.

Although you appreciated the notion you decided to decline it.

And it all came with good reason at this moment. Because now sharing this space with the person, you helplessly kept falling in love with. Felt utmost right in every possible way.
