Part 36 - The Mark

Red pov:

We were in our dorm. I was looking at Chloe's mark as I was deep in my thoughts. I can't believe we did it. I then remembered how we now had promises we couldn't break. Hmm, I wonder how they work. How does the trust promise work like do we just now blindly trust each other? It's a little scary to think of. I mean, I trust Chloe she's a good person. But what about her?

Red: Hey Chloe?

I stop looking at her mark and look at her face instead.

Chloe: Hmm?

Red: How does this trust promise work? What happens if one of us has a bad intention? Would we just blindly trust each other? What if we just decide to betray each other?..... I'm scared.

Chloe: it's ok to be scared, Red. There's a lot we don't know about it yet since we just got it. I do know that we'll be just fine as long as we have each other. As for the bad intentions, I am not sure. When I looked in your looking glass, I saw myself push you off the balcony, but that doesn't mean trust wasn't there.... we can feel like we trust each other, but our actions might not always be good.

She breathes a little more thinking about something.

Chloe: I think that our trust, honesty, and the listen promised can only do so much. We still have free will.... it's just how we see each other than changes. I think all 3 play an important role in our relationship. Communication has always been key in a good relationship. We're doing this together, and I'm ready to take every step with you.

Red: Thanks, Chloe, that eases my worries a little bit. I guess I'm just worried that we might do something we regret.

Chloe: Regrets can happen, but my love for you won't just disappear because of it. Well, work things out together ok, don't worry too much about it.

I smiled  she's right as per usual. I then suddenly got a bold idea.

Red: Hey Chloe?

She listened attentively.

Red: Can I try something? I wanna see how it feels.

Chloe: Go for it, I don't want you to hold back.

I then hesitated for a moment before holding her hand and bringing her to my bed, and having is face each other while on it. I then gently cupped her head with my thumb in front of her ears and my finger behind them, holding her head. I lean over, and I kiss her while placing my middle fingers where the mark it. My lips were on hers, and we both felt a rush of love. It was amazing. I couldn't let go. I just leaned forward more, making me a little higher than her deepening the kiss. She wraps her arms around my waist. This moment is electrifying. She then slowly drags her hand down from my ribs to my waist all the way down to my hips before starting to lift me shirt up just a little, feeling her colder hands on my skin. I was shocked. I whimpered, temporarily moving from her lips before she pulled me in closer to her, kissing me again. I then grabbed the hand that wasn't touching the mark and gently moved it to the back of her neck, rubbing up and down. I could hear a small squeal come out of her mouth. After a moment, we broke the kiss. I sit back down. My eyes are fluttering as I'm trying to compute what just happened. I look at Chloe, who's just lost in her thoughts right now. I'm looking to know where. I put my hand on hers and lean over a little.

(This scene makes me wanna write smut so bad, but I can't 🥲)

Red: How was it?

After she snaps out of it. She looks back at me with a huge smile plastered on her face.

Chloe: it was the best kiss of my entire life. I can still feel your lips on mine.

She then gently glides her middle finger across her bottom lips. I notice and also do the same. It tingles, it kinda made me giggle just a little. After a moment of just looking at each other. I felt so much more comfortable with her. I didn't feel like masking my emotions or hiding parts of me I would usually hide from everyone.... I feel like me. I want to know more about this adorable blue princess named Chloe Charming.

Red: Do you want to go on another date with me?

Chloe: You got something in mind?

Red: a little.... I want to get to know you better.

I smirked at her.

Chloe: same here, love.

She called me love again. I know I've heard her say it a few times, but every time she does, it sounds even sweeter than before. I'm not one to usually give people nicknames. Maybe I can find one for Chloe. I want it to be natural yet unique. I can think of one later right now. I wanna spend the rest of the evening with Chloe. We watched a movie before bed. It was a 2 hour movie about vampires. It was an hour and a half in, and I noticed Chloe had fallen asleep on my lap. Her head on my thighs in a fetal position with a blanket covering most of her. I decided to stop the movie there. I then gently moved over, holding her head and placing it on the sofa before scooping her up, curled up like a ball, her head on my shoulder. I brought her to her bed and gently placed her as I'm kneeling on the floor. I then sit on the ground, kneeling. I'm tilting my head slightly, taking a better look at the girls sleeping face. She's so relaxed, like there's not a aworey in the world. Her breathing is light and soft. After a few seconds more, I walk over to the other side and lay next to her. I was a little hesitant to touch her in her sleep, I wanted to hold her. But is it wrong to cuddle someone when they're asleep? I mean, I did just bring her here. After a moment, I decided to go for it. I reached out for her, carefully sliding one arm under her and wrapping the other around her waist, slowly bringing her closer to the middle of the bed. I exhaled halfway through. She then rolls over. Thinking I woke her up, I froze. But her eyes were closed, and my heart started to race a little. My arm was still under her. I then pulled her closer to me until our chests were touching. My heart is on hers. I got her arms around me. I placed one hand over her head and the other on her middle upper back, applying a light pressure as I could feel her heartbeat. It's slow and steady. Her head was right under mine, I then slid my hand that was on the back of her head down as I gave a small kiss on her forehead. I then placed my open palm on the crown of her head. I lean forward and close my eyes. My entire body starts to relax, and the room is quiet. I can smell her faded scent as I breathe in. I soon drift off in her arms.

Chloe pov:

I woke up in the middle of the night. I got a little startled. I look around and notice Red clinging around my waist shaking. I move the hair out of her face and notice tears falling down her face but her eyes and closed as if she's still asleep. Does she cry in her sleep? I nudged her a little, but nothing happened. I can't let her cry, not like this. I then remembered. I gently place my index finger and place it on her mark. I hope this works. After waiting patiently as I can feel the calming sensation take over us. I can feel Red start to shake less and then relax. Still holding the mark, I lay back down, holding her head close to my chest. After a few more seconds, I let go. It looks like she has stopped crying. Poor Red had a nightmare. I will definitely need to ask her about it tomorrow. If she can remember the dream, then. I took another moment to watch the girl sleep, making sure her bad dream didn't come back. I wiped the last few tears from her cheeks before putting my index on my mark and falling back asleep with her.
