⚜ just like my dreams
Being wrapped in each other like this feels so right that it would be futile to deny that they fight in each other’s lives so perfectly– that one of them without the other just isn’t right. Nothing can make her think otherwise at this point; not the immense amount of morphine in her system and not even the insecurities she has.
She remembers the first time they said “I love you” to each other and how the words felt so heavy on their lips because they’ve been dying to say it but never found the perfect moment to. That same weight is on her lips now but she bites back her tongue, not wanting to say it out loud and ruin the moment.
The kiss is quick and sweet but to Gwen, it’s the longest second of her life, as she thinks about how much she loves him over and over. “I don’t want you to regret anything because even if you hurt me, I forgive you.” She tells him easily, her own fingers cupping his cheek.
I love you, she thinks when their gazes lock once more. His question surprises her but the answer comes to her just as quickly because it’s something that she doesn’t have to think about. “No.” She shakes her head, a cute pout forming on her lips. “My freedom is wherever you are, Erik. Even if you break my heart over and over, if given the chance, I’d always choose you.”
“Silly.” He tapped her forehead with slight force, a quick grimace as a surge of green fought within him. He sighed, closing his eyes and cupping both her cheeks with his hands. He leaned closer to her, and plant several little whispers of kisses on her lips. “This is but a dream, you can be more honest.”
He releases her face, fingers moving to hold her hands in his own. “You’re having the worst case of Stockholm syndrome I’ve ever seen.” He laughs.
“You should rest. So that you may wake from this dream.” He is expected her to resist. She’d probably never want to leave a dream that had him acting this way to her. However, he knew that he could only put up so much of a fight before he would lose to his mother’s magic.
He knew of course what was the cause of their split. Yet, he lacked the courage to do what was needed in order to banish his mother’s curse. Merely, at times like these he contained it. The more he attempts however, the stronger the curse will become.
