IT’S ALL ABOUT THE YEARNING II ACCEPTING!!! II @priimalurges said: ❝ i no longer know where i end and you begin. you’ve wound yourself around my soul so tightly, you’re all i feel anymore. ❞ From Smaug
The words are as unpredictable as Smaug is. Whereas before Olivia knew herself capable of reading the dragon and what he was thinking. So used to his moments of silence and the inner workings, the school teacher had taken it upon herself to see through Smaug’s actions, than his words, knowing they spoke ferociously than any romantic poem could.
It left little reassurance for Olivia too. Hearing, knowing, without a doubt that her lover’s feelings are known gave her certainty that it wasn’t just assumption on her part and an over-arrogance that one could mistaken for a pompous nature. Something she did not want Smaug to ever feel or any outside parties assuming she is naïve or too confident in herself as a partner.
In the now, Smaug’s spoken words of how vulnerable he felt around her, and that she is all he thinks of that it gave her the a sense of euphoria, even when there is a twinge of dread that she is too much for him. Consuming and smothering a heart she had only wished to adore and embrace with a faithful love.
“I... did not know.” Olivia starts, a hand coming up to place a hand against Smaug’s cheek, now skin and warm human flesh to the touch. “I am usually the emotional one, darlin’. In all aspects of my life... I know I am excessive with how I feel towards those I care for.” Family. Friends. And now her dearest lover and partner. “Thank you for makin’ me feel less alone in these feelings, Smaug darlin’. Yer all I feel too.”
