Drake x Mia

Just to tell everyone that doesn't know, this is actually my OTP, so who knows, I might do more! XD

Drake's point of view-

Mia and I walked along the base of the crag mountain, looking at the statues and rubble of goddess temples. The large mountain had a wide crevice between itself and another, even taller crag mountain, and a large Forest surrounding them both. The clouds partly covered the sun, but some rays still shined down, offering warmth to the land. I gazed up at the sky, hoping that it wouldn't rain any time soon. I hate being soaking wet.

"Drake, there's a cave over here! It's filled with a bunch of old looking chest!" Mia called out, running into the damp cave.

I smiled, taking comfort in her enthusiasm. The bright atmosphere around her kind of reminded me of Armen, before he... I shook my head, not wanting to think of my best friends death. Still, the atmosphere with Mia, seemed somehow brighter and more cheerful than his. Maybe it's because she's never gone through the h*ll we've been through, but then again, I know of her past at the empire.

"Drake, hurry up!" Mia's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

I ran into the cave to join her. She was looking through an old chest filled with old survival items, like and old sleeping bag. Unfortunately, lots of it was ruined from the moisture and humidity. I hoped that wasn't any mold in here, but I knew it was likely.
I opened a different chest and searched through it with caution. In that chest, there was an old looking leather satchel. Curiously struck me, so I opened the bag. My eyes widened, seeing the shinning gems inside. Rubies, emeralds, amethyst, diamonds. There was even some gold and a few marks. On top of it all, was the thin gold chain of a necklace. My eyes followed the chain, until it ended at the smallest Ender pearl I had ever seen.
I pulled it out, the chain and Ender pearl together swung around as I held the top of it in my grasp. For some reason, I imagined Mia wearing it. I thought that she would looked even more beautiful in it. I smiled, thinking of how happy she would be. I slipped it into my pocket.

  "I got nothing. How about you?" I heard her soft voice say.

I turned around, and tried to speak, but my mouth became dry, and my cheeks burned. Wow. First time I really felt nervous around her. Well, it was the first time I'd give her a gift from my heart. I care about her. A lot, but I don't know how to say it, or if she'll return the feelings. I never thought I'd ever feel like this. The rapid beating of my heart brought a pain to my chest, but I barely noticed it. I looked up into her shinning blue eyes, feeling my legs become weak. I took the satchel and quickly held it out.

"I-I found this! I was thinking you might like it." I gave a nervous chuckles. I felt like a wreck suddenly.

"Really? Awww, that's sweet!" She said, as I handed the satchel to her, letting the strap slip from my sweaty palms.

I tried to regain my composure as she searched through it. I smiled as she gasped, her eyes growing wide with excitement and joy. She closed her eyes tight, and wrapped her arms around the bag, hugging it against her chest. I chuckled at the joyful sound that left her throat. I loved seeing her happy.

  "Drake, this is amazing! You didn't have to give me this, but I am an archeologist after all, and you know how I love shinny things!"

We laughed together. I scratched the back of my neck, hating how much my face burned when I spoke to her. My legs felt like they would give out beneath me. Why does love do that to you? Wait, love? Is that what I'm feeling? Well, of course idiot. I shook my head, and smiled down at her. I thought I saw her blush before she looked away from me.
