Inside Lance’s mind
While Lance knew that you were in couple, he could not help but to feel some type of way about it.
He thought about the past few days you spent together.
Like those nights you fell asleep from exhaustion and shivered from the cold breeze, and he brought you covers to shield you from the unforgiving temperature.
He remembered how your sleepy body naturally curled up against him when it rained and you had to sleep within his cabin.
Of course, it startled him each time, but your appeased face and gentle squeeze on his arm indicated that you had no ill intentions. Also, you were asleep, but he’d like to think you willingly reached for him.
Wait, what?
No, he couldn’t allow himself to cherish these memories...
But how could he not?
When you danced with the drafayels, creatures he usually hated, you seemed so pure, so good-intented, so simple: so beautiful.
And when you bumped into him, he didn’t bulge; instead, he reassured you.
“It’s only me”, he had told you, as if he was a source of safety to you.
After all that he’d done to you, how were you not offended by the confidence in his statement, he wondered?
Was it, because, at that moment, you felt it, too? Whatever it was?
No, it couldn’t be. Afterall, you loved him.
He had seen you with your boyfriend at times during his little personal missions within the HQ.
He had also seen your reaction when he sent the maryds after him as the boat rocked away from the HQ’s shore, you were devastated.
And with his actions, there would simply be no way you could ever love him...
Why did it matter? He had to stop you from wandering inside his mind...
Overthinking was the last thing he needed.
He looked behind himself, your sleepy body held his pillow within its arms.
The road to Memoria was still long, and he would still had time to spend with you.
Gently, he joined you within the sheets, and watched the stars, hoping the sun would not rise any time soon...
