Two - Stupid together

She turned to look at me with the most fierce of fires in her eyes. As her painted amber eyes met my frosted grey I saw all the words that she had built up through the years.
Silent I love yous and swallowed words of regret. Sharp angry daggers kept hidden as well as sad missed goodbyes. Soft lies and harsh truths bitten back. All those words I saw in her. All those words that she shunned and locked away. They were about to break free.

"I don't care what they say," She glared at me as if trying to lie to herself that it was me she hated, "I'll be better than they ever were."

As if a declaration of love was just spoken she flushed and looked down. Perhaps I was the only other person in this whole world other than herself who saw those words. Or maybe she never realized they were there in the first place. I wish to know someday. Because from that momment, I myself realized something. I realized something important. Very important. I realized that this seemingly stupid girl, was my forever. She was my forever forevermore. And I was okay with that. Perhaps that's why I wasn't afraid of her death, because I knew that it would never happen. She could never leave me. She could never go through an adventure such as death without me. Or perhaps I was simply mad. She might've been making me mad and I would have never noticed.
" Yes." I said chuckling, "I might really be mad..."
She almost lost her confidence at my unusual show of sincere happiness.
"You idiot,"- I choked out as my tears started inking the floor, -"You better come back"
And despite myself, I was smiling. Like an idiot. She was also grinning. Yes. I like the sound of that, two idiots. Two idiots stupidly in love with each other. And I didn't mind. I loved her after all. We're both just stupid.
