It felt good to be able to talk about this honestly with someone, without fear of judgement. The simple fact of the matter was being the same person didn’t mean they were identical, she knew everything about her host but her host didn’t know everything about her, it made her feel bad and that was part of why she told her all of this as they walked, and yet Rise didn’t mind.
It was just another reason that she loved her so much, that love was hers and hers alone, it wasn’t a reflection of her host, yes they were very different even while being the same. Taking a deep breath and letting it out the shadow couldn’t stop the tears forming in her eyes, but they weren’t tears of sadness, they were tears of joy. "Thank you, thank you Rise. You are not easy, you are wonderful, and amazing. You even make someone like me feel important."
So much could happen in such a short time, that smile, it was wonderful and amazing, it made the shadows heart skip a beat, she felt so warm, so happy around her host. Walking up the hill Risette decided to try something, her hand moved slowly and slid around the idols waist pulling her closer slightly. She didn’t make any motions to take advantage she just wanted her closer, a simple romantic gesture with no strings attached.
There was so much going on in her mind, "Rise, I know everything, but just because I know how to make you happy, please don’t let that make you think that I’m not trying, because the truth is, I’m putting everything into this. You……" A breath released, tears slowly trailing along her cheeks, "You, not me, you are the most wonderful, most beautiful, and amazing person I know."
Why was it that people gave her a hard time, why was it that people saw the idols body and nothing else, she had so much to offer, "Rise, I want to take your place in a few concerts and photo ops, that way you can have a break, I’ll still send you all of the money but, it’s the least I can do, will you let me?"
The stripper looked over at her host, they weren’t seperated by much now, and it would be so easy to steal a kiss, something most people didn’t know was that neither of them had truly had a kiss, that little tidbit was what kept her from acting on it. Instead her eyes said it all, and she waited for Rise to decide, she was putting so much on her host but she had to know.
