What the Heart Wants

Training

"I still don't get why she needed you to get the flowers, and why she got all giggly after you got them for her" I asked and Garroth seemed slightly confused.

"I was doing something nice for someone that's all" He responded and I raised a brow.

"You've never bought me flowers before" and with that sentence, it left a little smirk on Garroth's face. "What's with that look? You say you have no interest in them and you 'only have eyes' for me yet I have not once received flowers" I finished.

"Because when you stop getting so flustered at my name- you can have the real deal, the other women can't, so yeah I helped get her them flowers" The blonde responded.

"Uh-huh- either way, put it behind us? It was just a misunderstanding right?" I chirped up and Garroth nodded.

"I'm sorry it freaked you out that much and then went on about having some strange man in your house afterwards" He apologised which got a little nod out of me, and a small 'apology accepted' hug.

"wait- I NEED TO GO!" I yelped and rushed towards the small but deadly sword. "Help yourself to snacks in the kitchen if you must" I rushed about the house to gather stuff.

"where are you off too in such a hurry?" Garroth leaned against a wall with a brow raised.

"Woods- Sword training" I smiled slightly "alright bye- don't burn my place down" I ran out of the house and to Aarons little camp.

"I IS HERE!" I yelled from at least 5 trees down from Aarons camp- as I yelled all I saw was Aarons head poke out from behind a tree which was both funny but it scared me a lot.

"Well technically you aren't" He chuckled just before I decided to flop on the floor right at his feet.

"Well technically I am- just gimme 10 minutes, that's a long run I just ran" I dramatically died on the floor- which gained another chuckle from Aaron.

"Do you want some water then?" He asked as he helped me off the floor.

"Ew no, water is deadly- I don't get how people drink that stuff, it has no taste and its sickly" I scrunched up my nose.

"Well it's not like I carry Hot chocolate with me- so its water or dehydrate" Aaron went to grab a bottle of water.

"I'll take the second option any day" I said before the shirtless man handed me a bottle of water.

"Well we aren't training until you've drank some so it's really up to you if you want to train or not" I looked between him and the bottle he had handed me and sighed before opening it and taking a sip out of it- and when I say a sip, I mean the tiniest drop that would come out of that bottle.

"There I drank some" I put the bottle down.

"Drink more- just under half at least" He pointed at the bottle.

"UNDER HALF?" I repeated a little louder and he nodded "Do you want me to diiiie?" I pouted and picked up the bottle again.

"No I don't, that's why your drinking it- you can't live off of hot chocolate" He added and I rolled my eyes as I drank a little more until he was satisfied and began the training.

Aaaaaaand its stuck- I've been swinging for a good half hour to then have my sword stuck in a tree- great going Den- 10 out of 10.

"Need help there?" Aaron asked from behind me.

"No no, I got this" I started tugging at the sword hoping it'll leave the tree.

"Are you sure? That looks like it's gone deep into the tree" He took a few steps closer in my direction.

"Nah I'm not that strong for it to have gone that far" I tugged more, placing my foot on the tree hoping that will help in anyway at all. Well it did- but not how I wanted it too.

The sword flew back out of the tree, luckily missing aaron- but the pressure I had against that tree sent me backwards too, flopping on top of a very much shirtless aaron.

"I am so sorry-" My face went from 0-100 in seconds, especially with the fact he tried to stop me from falling by putting his hands around my waist.

"Don't worry about it" He smiled slightly before I got up off of him.

"I'll go get the sword" I stared at the floor as I walked past him- I don't think I can look at him the same to be honest... he was close, like very very close...

I found the sword, it didn't go that far, but it was outside the camp since it wasn't that big of a camp. Is it weird to say he was warm by the way? Like he was stood in a giant soup pan full of boiling water warm- well not boiling, but boiled water just before all the air bubbles start forming in the pan- and he smelt nice, especially for someone who camps outside all the time-

"Hey want me to walk you back to your place? I'm heading to Phoenix Drop for food and trades anyway" Aarons words shook me out of my thoughts earing a 'yeah alright' from me as an initial reaction- besides he is a nice guy, it wouldn't be fair if I said no then end up going that direction anyway- as much as right now I didn't want to face him after the whole tree and sword situation.
