❛ . . . you . . . .you are right. ❜ he absolutely was. this place is where you began to evolve. by cutting your hair, you were freeing yourself from what koji and your mother expected you to be. there was a shift in your identity the moment you decided to take back your power, and rock saw that. it could be argued that without him, you would have not been able to gather the small ounce of courage you had to move forth like this. how was it that someone you just met became so significant?
there came that rapid heartbeat again.
bloodshot eyes look up towards him, and though your cheeks were stained with your tears, your lips curved into a smile as you found yourself laughing at his comment. ❛ I am very sure this would spark their rage. but, thank you, mister rock. I was the one who made the mess ; please allow me to clean it. ❜ in truth, you did not want to leave his embrace. you wanted to stay, just a little longer, in that safe place. this experience showed that one could know someone for only hours, but make such an impact.
( your rock. you’re still holding on to that line. )
jumping out of your thoughts, a gasp of realization sharply escapes your lips. ❛ did . . . did I even make your tea and food? oh, my goodness! I was supposed to do that, wasn’t I? please forgive me, I was lost in my feelings that it slipped me. allow me to do that after I clean this up! ❜ the difference between rock and koji? you would do these things for rock with pleasure –– he shows appreciation, he shows kindness, he makes you want to do these things.
you could only imagine how happy you'd be, if you were his wife.
