Portraits & Catching up with friends.
@duchess-ryou She took in the silence as they stood close, Taking in his grace and presence. It was a wanted comfort. She didn’t mind whether it was noticeable or not. She knew that they hadn’t really seen each other in a few months, Passing aside. She closed her eyes against the others chest and took in his scent as well, Swallowing hard at his heartbeat. She took in the strokes and pursed at her lips, Taking in the sentence that came next. She sniffled and nodded in response to his slight demand and licked at her lips. “I think that that might be a good idea.” she responded, Looking up at the other.
Marik continued to hold her, taking in the feel of her heartbeat; something to which was calming him to feel again. He rested his head on hers slightly, just managing to keep his mouth in way where he could still talk and be heard clearly enough. He was mildly weary that she would’ve tensed up at his request, which is why he visibly relaxed at her response as he looked down at her; having moved his head when she had started to nod. “So do I, that’s why I requested it, and I.. miss having you near me..” he trailed off saying the last of it quietly but it would be still able to be heard from her position.
She was taking in the others heartbeat as well. Something that she hadn’t heard in a very long time. It calmed her more than she had expected. She was expecting to make her anxious and on edge. She was wrong. She took in everything that she had said, Her mind whirling as he spoke. She nodded in response. “I miss having you near me as well.” she looked up to him with tear filled eyes.
Marik continued to run his hand on her back in a comforting manner as he held her close. He remained quiet as she digested what he had said; he was in all honestly relieved that she hadn’t made a protest, even if it would’ve been in the eyes, about sharing his bed again as he would’ve hated having to put his foot down. He did noticing how she was calming, or at least the difference from the beginning of the embrace to this point. At her words he blinked having not expected her to feel the same, he brought his hand up to cup her cheek; using the hand that had been moving in a comforting pattern on her back; he moved into give her long lingering kiss.
She took in light breaths as the other rubbed at his back. She forced herself to calm down as best as she could. She didn’t have the energy to argue about anything, Let alone this. She looked up at the other as his hand cupped her cheek and gently pulled it up, Taking in the kiss with a ragged breath. She whimpered ever so slightly. She clung onto him and kissed him fully in return.
