"Thank you so, so much for showing it to me."
With that, Xion turned back, watching closely how those lights flickered and mixed with each other at the edges.
"To actually see it with my own eyes... it's the most wonderful thing I've ever witnessed."
Darius gulped, burying his nose into Xion's neck, inhaling the scent to calm his senses. Oh, it did the opposite.
Instead of calming him, it sent a surge of heat through his veins, pooling dangerously low.
"I'll forever be grateful to you for showing this to me, really."
No, my darling. It is I who is in your debt. I am the grateful one here.
To see you smile this close, to feel your heart beating in my arms, to witness you in reality.
This is not just a dream that would break and shatter, plunging into my heart and reminding me of how foolish I was to scare you away.
So, it's me, Xion. I should be the one thanking you, for turning to my side.
