He reminds me of a child. Perhaps it wouldn't seem acceptable for me to say it out loud, because it's well known that the power of a Gold Saint surpasses with ease that of a Silver one. But what amuses me is to think this way when a few moments ago I've felt safe in his arms. I couldn't quite explain what this has meant to me. To finally find a place to rest can be odd for someone who has always been able to fight and stand for herself, I guess.
My fingers don't run smoothly through his hair, and though I loose the knots without gentleness he doesn't wake up. His face is serene and I let myself smile, glad to know the nightmares are far behind us. He snuggles against me, bringing us so close, it makes me want to stay, if only for a little more.
Because of my origin, I grew accustomed to not fitting inside the Sanctuary and fly alone, but of the late I feel I depend more and more on his presence. And how I hate when he does this to me. I'm just not ready to give up on my freedom. In fact, I doubt I'll ever be.
I wonder if he's even aware of this. He has accepted every condition so far, from not forcing me to love him back to agreeing to meet in this darkness, so that I don't need to show him my face. And then I ask myself if he's still unsure of what I feel after I've exposed myself in front of him.
"Can you hear my voice?"
He remains unmoving at my words, lost in a dream I'm not part of. I caress his face and whisper what I don't dare to say when he's awake. I hope he finds out my secret soon, though, because when that happens there will be no reason to keep this with me any longer.
The sun is hiding behind the clouds when I put my mask on, leaving an empty space next to him.
