@prythaei said : you’re gonna walk away from this ?

he should walk away. for all his bravado, it'd be the safest thing to do. would be the reasonable thing to do. walk away & all of this would become nothing but a faint memory one day, something he would forget as the years passed. and he knows, had it been anyone else . . . he would have walked without second guessing it. sofie however, she somehow made it under his skin, effortlessly so. how, or even when, he had no idea. it's not like he made it a habit to help, to comfort, to think about any except himself. reputation of being cold & he quite liked it that way, made most things a little easier. twitch of his jaw and hands flex at his sides : gaze settled upon her for quite a few moments. yes. only the three letters, the one single word. it shouldn't be this hard.     ❝   what do you want me to do, sofie ?   ❞ comes out a sigh after a while, slight shrug of shoulder.

he thought she was dead. couldn't find her & there was this loss, not knowing where she was, if she was safe. waited for them to tell him she was dead. that they'd found her and her body was here. but then there's that familiar tug within his chest. something fall into place, the air crackle around him & shadows answer, dancing around his fingertips. gaze sweap up and the relief could have easily sent him to his knees. takes her in, slowly drinking her in : making sure to notice everything. and before he can stop himself, invisible string between them tug him across the floor & hands go to cradle her face in his hands, thumb lightly brush across her cheeks.     ❝   my sofie,   ❞      soft murmur, low enough to just be between the two of them, easily ignoring everyone else in the room. there is just her. leaning down and forehead go to rest against hers, nose lightly nuzzle against hers. ❝   i thought . . . i thought i would never see you again   ❞      i thought you were dead.
