W.P.(C): Duty
You assumed I would return to my duties and leave you here to be forgotten?
I would not put it past you, after all, you were one of many who put me to rest
I would have done what was necessary to help our future, to prevent you from fading
I did not think you cared so much of me to stop the others from ending me
It was only because of my responsibilities to them that they considered my proposal to let you sleep
And yet here I stand, with you still on a tight leash
That leash had long since been removed
You mean that you have come here of your own accord
Where else would I go
I would hold you here if I could, regardless of how you felt of the matter
I would have let you, had you been able to accomplish such a task
…..
You would not hold me
I could very well try
….
I encourage you to continue doing so
….
….
Well, my dear, it seems duty calls to you
I would implore you not call me your ‘dear’
And here I thought it would be something comfortable for you
Pet names were never your strong suit
Perhaps sleep has made me romantic
Perhaps
___! Thank goodness! You’re alright! I thought that you were-you were
I am well, but now I worry for your state
I-I’m fine, I just
…..
I was afraid that the Keepers had taken away the only being who made my existence have meaning
…
I-I said that out loud, didn’t I?
…..
Just-just ignore I said anything, I’ll go and-
No! Please, stay.
I thought you would have-I mean, I wasn’t sure if
If your feelings were reciprocated, because they are, the scar on your face is more then enough proof of that
And here I thought you had done that out of anger
Partially, it was mostly to stake my claim on you and to make sure you wouldn’t look at another
As if that was possible, besides I distinctly remember staking my own claim as well
How did you……..the scar on my neck, really?
I needed to be sure no one would threaten your life or attempt to mark you, it was far from a killing blow
Clearly, still hurt
And having my eye nearly taken out didn’t?
Fair enough
I would like to court you ___, if you would not be opposed
Is that not what we have done over millennia?
…..
It appears so, and here I thought all of our fighting was done in bad sight
Not all of it, but I would not be opposed
To what, to fight?
No, to you courting me, although we have been courting for so long we may as well be married
Is this your attempt to propose
If it was, what would you say?
I would say yes, and then kiss you with no regrets
Then yes it is and you may do so
Gladly
You have successfully imprinted yourself into my being and for that I thank you
You act as if you have not done the same, you have scarred my very soul
