The Queen and Her King

Hi There... Miss Me?

Harry POV

I proudly rubbed Brielle's hands with mine as I waited now, waiting in high anticipation to see how this meeting goes. I wish we could attend, I wish she was awake to attend, and I wish she was awake in general. I hate that I can't be in the meeting but I would hate not staying with Brielle more. But the fate of the Isle is on the balance... gods my thought processes are all over the place. Who am I kidding, I myself am all over the place.

I nonetheless proudly held Brielle's hand in mine as my nerves bounced all over the place. I just couldn't contain myself in the absolute slightest,

"Goodness me love, I just wish we could be there right now. Then tension is killing me"

I muttered in anticipation, gods I just hope Ben and Mal don't mess this up for everyone.

Suddenly a knock on the door made my nerves jumpy. I shot up and quickly jogged to the door to see if Ben was back already with the news about the Isle, but when I opened the door Ben was most certainly not the person standing in the doorway. Uma looked up at me with a nervous expression as my energy immediately dropped since I wasn't expecting her,

"Hey... I just stopped by to check on you, how are things?"

She asked... this is weird. Never has Uma been so... friendly to me. I raised a brow and leaned on the doorframe as now I am highly suspicious of her,

"Fine I guess"

I muttered. She peeked in past me to look at Brielle and sunk some,

"Damn, I'm sorry Harry"

She muttered back as she shook her head some. I simply sighed and turned around to look at Brielle,

"I miss her..."

I whispered, not really intending on Uma hearing but apparently, she did. She came a bit closer and stood by my side and looked at Brielle too,

"I bet you do... she is really pretty Harry"

Uma said which made me look down at her some to see she was smiling a little. I chuckled and got a far more longing look about me than before as I looked at Brielle from afar,

"I know, she's the most beautiful lassie I've ever seen on the inside and out. Goodness me she looks like a goddess even when... she's a-asleep"

Uma cooed some as I felt the sadness return a little. I'm really trying to keep my spirits up for Brielle's sake, but it's harder than I could've ever imagined. After Uma finished cooing for whatever reason she spoke again,

"You seemed a little freaked out yesterday when Celia suggested it but have you tried true love's kiss?"

I felt myself stiffen some, the thought of true love's kiss has always been something I loved but... now that I'm in a place where the only option might just be true love's kiss... it scares me a little. My greatest fear is kissing Brielle and she wouldn't wake up. I feel like I would be failing her, I've always vowed to protect her and such... what am I supposed to do if I'm... not her.... true love? It would absolutely kill me, so suddenly the thought of the possibility of my kiss not working and not waking her up... really freaks me out,

"I haven't... all I can think is what if I kiss her... and..... nothing happens? W-What if I can't wake her u-up?"

I shyly spoke, Uma though, she looked at me as if I was crazy for whatever reason. I was over here about to cry again and she just started laughing like I wasn't upset. I shot her a look which made her calm herself down,

"You got to be kidding me, Harry you can not tell me that your confidence is wavering here out of all places right? Come on man! She loves you, you love her that's it! Kiss the girl!"
