Blades and Bullets (Discontinued)

I Want to Help You.

Lesley boths wake up to the heat of the sun. She and Gussion were both sleeping in a warm embrace, but they didn't realize it.

Lesley 1st Person POV

I wake up to having the sunrays blind me even with closed eyes. I for some reason I can't move! I try to look over to what's hugging me so tightly to the point where I can barely breathe. I see a face I didn't recognise. I couldn't be bothered to try and figure out who it was.

After much struggling, I finally got out and could breathe with full capacity again. I looked down on this person who was still sleeping. That's when it hit me.

Oh, it's him. Wait, what happened last night?

*Queue Flashbacks*

They both smile and look at the grass. It gets very peacefull, and Gussion looks at Lesley. Lesley noticed it and saw him. They were both just looking at each other, it reminded them both of their first battle. But that was all in the past. Gussion places his hand on Lesley's cheek, and Lesley places her hand on top of his, slowly closing her eyes and embracing the warmth of Gussion's hand. He cups her face in his hands, closes his eyes and kisses her, being sure to be gentle and soft. Gussion loved the feeling of Lesley's soft lips, it was as if he was kissing the clouds. They both didn't realize what they were doing, but they enjoyed it.

Lesley breaks the kiss and stares into Gussion's eyes. Gussion does the same. They both just laugh it off and sleep on the soft grass.

*End of Flashbacks*

Oh my god did that actually happen?! I can barely remember it, but I remember last night felt like a dream. It was beautiful. But, I'm still not sure. Do I love him? Do I want to be with him? I know he's who I'm looking for, but I don't feel ready. Why am I thinking like this? I need to get back home!

I decide not to bother his sleeping since I know how horrible it is to be woken up. He looks so comfortable as well, despite sleeping on grass.

But, now I have nowhere to go. I don't even know the way back ever since he snatched me. I'm also starving. I'm craving my mother's cooking again, but it's not like she's even aware of where I am, or whether I'm alive or not.

Well, if he snatched me he probably knows how to atleast take care of me, right?

3rd Person POV

Lesley gets down on one knee and taps Gussion's chest, trying to wake the man from his deep slumber.

"Hey, hey... Wake up, please." She said as she was about to slap him, arm in the air.

Despite knowing that being waken up sucks, Lesley still needed to leave the grove.

Before her hand could land on Gussion's cheek, his hand grabs her wrist, stopping her from slapping him. He slowly opens his left eye, only to see Lesley's face in shock.

Gussion 1st Person POV

Damn, I know I like this girl, but was she just about to slap me? Talk about rude. I try to wake up and stand. My back kind of hurts.

"Hey, no need to slap me. I'm awake." Gussion

"It took you long to wake up. So I insisted..." Lesley said.

"Sigh..." G

3rd Person POV
Before Gussion could fully stand, Lesley places her hand on his cheek and he places his hand over hers.

"I want to help you." The pink girl said in a couragous voice.

"Help me?" Gussion

"I don't feel ready to be courted yet. Nor am I ready for a relationship. But, I want to help you. I want to help people understand who you are. I want people to understand what you've been through." Lesley

"But... after what I just did to you I feel like I don't deserve you-"

He was cut off by Lesley placing her finger on his mouth, quieting him.

"I forgive you for what you did." Lesley

"Well, I accept your offer to help me." Gussion

"By the way, I haven't gotten your name yet. You already know me. But, I don't know you..." Lesley

"Oh.. well, yes I do know your name, Lesley. The name's Gussion." G

"Gussion.. well, it's a nice name." Lesley

"Thank you. And ah- you're probably wanting to go back now. Let's go." Gussion

They both walk out of the grove and back to Gussion's hideout. They both enter and Gussion enters the kitchen to make stew. It was something his mother taught him.

Despite always thinking of having to act tough because of being a male, he still had a soft side for his mother and he loved to cook. It was an art he learned from her. When his mother came back from the summoning circles, they would both cook together and make a meal for the both of them. Despite living a tough life, his mother managed to make it a happy one, all for her son.

Once the pot started to simmer, Gussion turned off the heat and placed 2 bowls on the counter. He grabbed the ladle and scooped in a good amount of stew into the bowls. While still hot, he inserts a spoon in each bowl and takes them to the living room.

Lesley saw Gussion walking in and decided to sit herself properly as Gussion places the bowls down.

He sits opposite of Lesley. Watching her face turn from blank to nearly crying as she eats.

"Oh! Is it too hot? Is there something wrong with it?" Gussion

"No! It's fine. It just makes me feel at home, and.. I just.. miss my family so much. Especially my brother. I wonder how he's doing." Lesley

"Aha.. I'm glad that you get a feel of home then.." Gussion
