zelly's pov
shawn frowns at my confused expression, but in a swift movement he takes my hand. pulling me into a gentle embrace so comforting that my body had realized how much it missed his warmth, and scent. i felt tears build up again while his arms protectively wrapped around my body, he was huge compared to me. it was like i meant so much to him, well he risked his life to be in this prison with you. pulling away before my waterworks began, he cracked a small smile.
"let's kill time before this place kills me,"
he jokes, i give him a death stare by how real that sentence was. giving in, i open my bedroom door to lead him out downstairs. maybe we should go swimming, i've wanted to try out the pool anyways...
"wanna go for a swim?"
he raises his eyebrows, pointing to his clothes.
"is that your subtle hint to seeing me shirtless? if you wanted me to take my clothes off, all you had to do is ask."
a strong rouge hit my cheeks as he chuckled at my suggestion. i punch his shoulder lightly, rolling my eyes, stop smiling zelly!
"no, that's not what i meant. get your head out of the gutter, i just wanted to try out the pool here. i haven't gotten around to it and the last few days..."
my heart crunches into depression, reliving the last few scarred memories. the thoughts sending shivers down my spine, shawn notices me distinct expression change. it was like my sadness had been radiating off me, into him. before the tension in the room got even more depressing, i quickly decide to tell him about swim trunks.
"i'm sure this mansion has swim trunks, i mean it mythically provides us food so there must be something."
he smiles at my effort, nodding. i quickly dash upstairs to look, shawn had followed me back up. to my luck, it was in one of my guest's bedroom drawers. but the room looked a little musky... not bothering to spend another minute dwelling on the scenery of my castle. i hand the trunks to him.
"thank you,"
"no problem."
"so swimming is a yes?"
he drops his smile, i drop mine feeling like i had been dipped into ice cold water. shit, did i do something?
"i'm just messing with you, of course it is."
he smiles again while i pout my lip, and scrunch my eyebrows. i nudge him in the shoulder huffing.
"not funny, i thought you were really mad."
"what would i even be mad about?"
he laughs, i sigh. everything.
"you know... just suddenly regretting to be here."
this time he is actually serious and places a hand on my shoulder comfortingly.
"i would never leave you, zelly. you know that,"
i weakly nod as he pulls me into his warm embrace. i'll never get tired of his hugs.
