❛ Can I kiss you ? ❜
literally , he could . there was nothing on this earth that could prevent him from doing so . the only resentment could be YEARS of absolute silence . years of wondering where he was , years yearning for her once again . ( she always wondered if he looked , or if he forgot like the REST of overwatch did . ) the anger bubbles , a pot in her gut . carnal feelings which paint so clearly on her snow-lidden features . pale cheeks dusted with rouge , only blooming into a complete flush at the proposition of a kiss , a request , but her eyes almost narrowed with anger . nine years . their relationship was newer , yes , but from the words in his letters , she only wondered if it was possible to forget someone you were once so intimate with .
she did think about hearing his voice , ( aged and all , ) say the sweet nothings he once wrote her , and her cheeks were splayed with a bright red once again . ❛ w - well , i can say no . ❜ her tone felt stern , but the wall she leaned against only provided so much support for her && her words . ❛ i was gone .. for over nine years , i`m .. i`m sorry if i seem a little .. resentful . ❜ however , she lead his hand to her cheek , gloves on gloves , the fabric only a thin barrier behind the warmth underneath . she LEANED into the touch , heartbeat growing rapid . ( they say seeing a loved one releases endorphins , it can only explain her body`s reaction . ) ❛ i lost a family , ❜ her tone fell to a mumble . ❛ i almost lost you too . ❜
yet , she didn`t . he was before her in the flesh . scarred , aged .. alive . the voices she listened to , advice of those passed echoed within her . her family would have encouraged her to take him into her arms , to hold him tight . she could feel their hands against her back as to push them together , it lead her to look up to him . ( she wanted to meet eyes with him , even though she knew . ) ❛ but .. you`re here . ❜ seeing the scarred features , the red glow of his visor now discarded out of sight , her voice cracked . ❛ y - you can do anything you`d like .. just , please don`t leave . ❜ a choked sob broke past her throat , a few tears stinging at the corners of her eyes , wetting the fingertips of his glove . but , she smiled , right through the tears .
❛ … y - yes , you can kiss me. ❜
