continued with @prim0star from : this ask - for vita.
a tale as old as time, one that vita had seen played out through the centuries. the trials and tribulations of family matters, old family rituals and traditions that were passed through the ages and played out amongst generation after generation. it was where she had found herself again. smitten for the eldest of the family. of a family almost as complicated as the one that she had been born into. a father ripe with expectations and she knew just how much her beloved giovanni had tried to meet them.
vita's head rose and fell ever so slightly with each breath that he took, her head nestled in it's usual place - on his chest and below his chin. she listened to the familiar sound of unsteady beat, a rhythm that always kept her guessing. she could hear stress in each beat. hear the stress and confliction that came with the very words that he spoke to her. not yet. i fear. things she knew well enough about him. his fingers continued to twirl locks of her hair, her breathing remained steady - allowing her body to be the sanctuary that he so badly needed from the instability of his family.
" and when i cannot give you what you need? what they want to keep the family name? i fear that you may find me unfit to take me as your wife despite the love you have for me. " she said, voicing the fear that sat in her mind. she, ancient being, what could she provide him that were normal? " and yet i remain too selfish in my love for you to care, what does that say of me? "
