My first drabble is under the cut!
Bunny sat on the counter, one leg crossed over the other, a frown etched into her usually placid face as she watched Hanma pack. Her heart ached… she wanted so badly to follow her beloved Hanma to the ends of the earth… but he would never accept her offer… still though…
“You know love… I yearn so badly to come with you. Please, please, please… let me.”
It was Hanma’s turn to frown. He was going away for just a short while… work related stuff and all. It always hurt to leave Bunny behind, but he just couldn’t bear to get her mixed up in the world he lived in.
“Bunny, baby, no… I can’t. It’s dangerous, this life I live for my work is dark and grim. I can’t drag you in more than I already have.”
Bunny sighed and slid off the counter… it seemed like it was time to remind him that her loyalties lie solely with him.
“Hanma… baby, no matter what, I want to be there. I want to be with you. That’s the shape of my selfishness.”
Hanma paused, tears pricking his eyes as he looked away from his love. He mutters his next words, trying to keep his voice level and calm.
“You don’t mean that. You’re not as awful as I am.”
“I don’t say things I don’t mean, Hanma.”
Bunny reminded, her voice dripping with the sincerity of her words. She needed this to get through to him…
Hanma paused once more, his eyes refocused on the blonde woman. He pulled her into a hug, his face burying into her neck as unshed tears smeared against her skin. Despite his tears and the emotional tension… there was no sadness in his words when he spoke up again.
“Love… I think I may have ruined you.”
