A little bravery
@hordeofmuses continued from Val Get Brave
Val's cheeks and pointed ears were bright and warm even before she'd pulled away from planting that kiss on his lips. She was nervous and awkward in this moment where she'd plucked up her courage to maybe express how she felt about him. Since he’d come back she’d been so happy, she didn’t feel so lonely, and was hoping.... hoping maybe he’d stay this time. She knew he belonged somewhere much warmer than here. Probably where his own kind was. But... still. Somewhere in the time he had been in her care while he was injured, she’d felt stirrings in herself beyond compassion for another being. Somehow, in his grumpy way he’d captured her affection. And now... well..!
"Th... This kind of k-kiss... me-means I admire you.... as-as more than a f-friend. I.... I have... for a while b-but if you don't... f-feel the same.. th-that's fine and I apologize fo-for kissing you!" She was starting to panic that she had pushed her feelings on him. Val wasn’t sure how he felt about her. She thought, what with him coming back, protecting her, helping her rebuild her home in ways he was able... that maybe he might like her too.
But if that wasn’t the case she felt ridiculous and guilty!
