Finding light in the Darkness

Ymir POV:

“Ynir are you okay to walk” Christa asked me as we were walking down the street.

“ I’m fine” I said. I really wasn’t. My legs were very nimble and unstable from all of the intoxicated stuff I had consumed in the past few days. 

“ You don’t look fine. You can barely walk straight”Christa said.

“ I said I’m fine!” I said loudly. Christa went quiet. She looked down as we walked.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell.” I admitted. Christa was quite. I then tripped on my foot and fell to the concrete.

“Shit” I mumbled. 

“Are you okay Ymir!” Christa said worried.

“I’m fine Christa.” I said slowly getting up.

“Maybe it would be useful for you to help me walk” I smirked. Christa smiled. I put my arm around her shoulder making it so I was more stable.

“This is it!”Christa smiled as she opens the door to the new apartment. I walked inside and did a quick tour.

“It’s nice. Theirs only one room though” I mentioned.

“ that’s because we can share a room. I mean only if you want…” she mumbled the last part.

“Sure. Why not” I said. Christa smiled and hugged me. I lover when she hugs me. It’s so cute how short she is.

“ wanna watch a movie” Christa smiled happily. I nodded. We walked over to the coutch. I sat down and put my feet up on the coffee table. Christa came over and sat next to me.

“ want to watch a horror movie” she asked.

“Sure but I thought you get scared of horror movies though” I said.

“I’ll be fine” she chuckled. She played a random horror movie. I also noticed that she moved a little closer to me and was now leaning we her head on my shoulder. I smiled a bit.

About twenty minutes went by. I had a really bad need to smoke or Somthing. I stood up.

“I need to go to the store. I’ll be right back” is said.

“I’ll come with you!” Christa said.

“I want to go alone” I stated. Christa frowned.

“What are you even going to get” she asked getting suspicious

“Stuff” I said.

“Ymir drop the act. What are you going to buy” she said seriously. I groaned and sat back down.

“ I feel the need to smoke a cigarette right now” I mumbled. Christa just hugged me around my waist.

“ you can’t Ymir. It’s best for you to stay sober for at least a few months.” Christa said still hugging. I nodded as I began watching to movie again. This time Christa laid her head on my lap. She looked really cute.

———

The movie was over and Christa was horrified.

“Do you regret watching that movie” I asked. She nodded as she held me tightly.

“Let’s just go to bed now” I said standing up. Christa was still clinged onto me. She and her legs wrapped around my waists and her arms around my neck. Her head was nuzzled into my neck. I then walked to our room.

I tried to lay her down on the bed but she wouldn’t let go.

“Christa let go. I’ll be back in one moment” I said as she loosened her grip. I went to go change. I just put in some black sweatpants and a white shirt. I walked back to the bed and hopped in beside Christa. She looked shaken to the core. I wrapped my arms around her and held her.

“Don’t let go” she said. I smiled. I then fell asleep.

———-

My eyes slowly opened. I heard what sounded like whimpering. I looked over at the clock. It was 2 in the morning. I then noticed the sounds were coming from Christa. I turned the lights on. Christa was crying in her sleep.

“Christa. Christa!” I shook her till she woke up. Her eyes beamed open m. She began crying harder. I quickly hugged her. She hugged me back tightly.

“It was just a bad dream. Your safe with me” I comforted her. She eventually calmed down.

“Maybe no more scary movies for you” I said to her. She nodded in agreement. I smiled and we went back to bed.
