Moments after I announce my fears to this dark lady, she comforts me with sweet words and promises of safety. My previous discomfort about her horns is long forgotten now, maybe because I know I'll be safe with her and she to me. She would never hurt me, and I am angry at myself for previously wanting to attack her for smiling. For smiling! I don't own her, for gods sake! She can smile when she wants, I inwardly scold. Suddenly, I am pulled out of my previous frozen state. I step towards her, hesitantly at first, but then with all the passion, desire, and love that I could muster. I move towards her, desperate for an embrace. I wanted her comfort and also to comfort her. I know she wants a family, I do too! Goddamnit. I've wanted a family, a real one. I had one before, but I had not been a strong enough mom to keep us together, I failed. I don't respond to any of her words directly, but instead state something, something that I've wanted to say forever, that I'd only said once or twice, but this felt real now. I kind of liked it. "Destry, I love you. So. Much. I love you to the moon and back an infinite amount of times, and then some." I sobbed out, tears running once again down my cheeks, but they are happy now. Because I am happy for once. Scared as hell, but happy. I don't know if I've ever been this content. I love her! I do! I love her. And I know she loves me, I do.
ooc: sorry if this post sounds a little weird, I'm not really used to writing Aurelia happy xD
