His Sunshine

he was what they feared most, but she saw beyond that. Will she change him for the better or will he remain the same?

All my life I've been told my heart would remain cold and lifeless. I believed them and every word said. No one could love me, I have horns and terrible anger issues. Fumes burst out of me quite literally. I'm a monster. He knew it and I knew it. He threw me down here for reasons I couldn't understand but went with it anyway. I had been lonely for so long and convincing myself I enjoyed it would be an understatement. Deep down I hated it, and often wondered what was so wrong with me? Why didn't anyone love me? Will I ever feel a real heartbeat other than cold lifeless one that lies in my chest? And then I met her. Reyna. The angel from above as everyone seems to say. The night she caressed my horns with such compassion and love. Her touch was gentle and tender. She's seen every vulnerable part of me and it never scared her. Not once. She came down here for someone that all her life was told to fear and hate. "You're not a Monster." She whispered. "Not to me. You're a beautiful broken angel that's all." She gently placed her hands on my horns and our foreheads pressed together. In that moment my heart made its first beat. All because of her. I realized it's possible for someone to love me just as I am to love them.

Wow. Who know a monster like me could be loved. My heart no longer cold and lifeless like it once was, the replacement is warmth and a sentimental feeling of hope. Is that what it feels like? To be loved. To know that there's someone who can give you warmth with a simple glance of happiness. Or small gentle touch on the horns. It amazes me how much I've changed for her. I'm proud to say the least that I'm learning to be more patient and kind. No more rising tempers or harsh words. All thanks to her.

And it all started with a wish.
