Damn!!! Was she insulting him, unknowingly? If he decides to talk, people won't even move an inch while giving their utmost attention.
But see, here this heartless devil, slept while he was actually trying his best to explain. Couldn't she show some pity to him? At least a little. And THUD. For a moment, he even forgot to breathe. Damn, what just happened?
He could hear his heart beating so fast in his chest, just like humans. [ Come on, I know, he is an angel. But I don't know how else to describe his emotions at the moment. So, just bear it.]
He felt like his inner beast[ referred to heart] might leap out at any possible moment. Damnit, while other organs[lungs] forgot to breathe in and out. And now he was feeling suffocated.
Now came the main question, just what exactly happened, for him to react like this. Well, it wasn't such a big deal. The sleeping phoenix, who till now was leaning on the bark of the tree.
In her sleep, she turned her position… while this deity was busy cursing her profusely...And now, her head was lying on his shoulder.
Yet this deity was acting like he had committed the biggest sin of his life. The author can co-relate with readers, but... when you love someone for centuries… that too secretly….
And when that person is so damn close to you… that even the little, unimportant, non-significant things become very, very important and special.
In simple terms, what he was feeling at the moment, was something only he could understand... or the people, who have done one-sided love, or who have unrequited love story... only they understand how much… this little gesture meant.
~~
For others, this feeling is nothing. But for some, this little thing is 'Heaven.'
Anyways, he didn't even dare breathe loudly, in order to not to wake her up. While trying his best to calm his highly accelerated heart down at the same time.
Then, he saw that this heartless phoenix would definitely fall from the branch into the skies again if it keeps on going. After all, she was sleeping way too carelessly. So, for the first time in the entire millennia, the great deity acted as a thief.
Firstly, he took his arms away from her, as her head was currently resting on his shoulder. Then, he slowly started retracting that arm to the backside without any sound and then extended the arm to her back.
After what seems like an eternity, this fellow successfully placed his hand on her other side. To make sure that she won't fall like a newborn bird from the sky.
~~
Dear Immortal, we earthlings call it a side hug, too. If you won't mind.
No response.
~~
After what seems like an eternity, this picture-perfect painting remains like that. [ Back view]
The branch of the Resduc tree. Two figures sitting by the bark side of the branch. One sitting as straight as a rod, while the other sitting in the leaning position. Her head was lying on his shoulder. While his arm supported and protected her from the side.
One with short black hair, which reaches up to his first vertebrae. Other with reddish-brown hairs, which were reaching up to her waist. Touching the tip of the branch of the tree, too.
One's back is covered completely white with silver traces and linings. Other's back, showed some traces of her red and golden colored dress, which was somehow hidden by her hairs.
The moment of bliss. One giving the side face view. While the other's face was completely hidden, in his shoulder, from the back view.
As for the background. On the right side was the bark of a tree. And in the bottom came the endless amount of colorful clouds. In the middle came the branch, covered with clouds rather than leaves, with the duo as the center of the painting. In the above came the clear blue and white sky.
[ The front view]
On the left is the main stem or bark of the tree… whose extension [ branch] was covered with the clouds... In place of leaves on the right side.
Next to the bark of the tree. There sat a beautiful creature of heaven. A phoenix. Half of her face was completely hidden in that shoulder of his. And as for the rest. Her reddish-brown hairs were combed neatly, which were then tied beautifully into a golden band.
[ Well, it was actually made of gold. Pure Gold.] And which were currently flowing on her back. Her broad shiny forehead was full of bliss. Her mountain curved shaped dark brown eyebrows were still tightly frowned.
As if the entire World's weight lies on her shoulders alone. Her beautiful, turquoise blue eyes, which gave the look of a dark, transparent bluish flame of the fire, were completely concealed at the moment, with the beautiful eyelids.
And her long dark brownish eyelashes were allowing this phoenix to get some rest.
Then came her short but pointed nose. The very same nose, who knows no values, no shame, just revenge. Followed by the beautiful, natural, baby pink lips. The type which makes it hard not to commit the sin.
Then came her pointed chin and beautiful yet perfect jawline structure. Above which are those cute, soft cheeks, who create beautiful holes in it, whenever she smiles, whole-heartedly.
And these holes are called dimples. Not to forget her long, slender neck, which currently was stretching a little to get her favorable and comfortable condition.
Then came her out of this World, breathtaking dress. Which carried the golden lining in the red fabric[ which was darker than even the blood of humans], clothing. After all, she was also wearing layers of clothes, just like any other Heavener.
But what made it more exciting was the leather pieces attached to her dress. Even her shoes were made of pure leopard skin from Earth. As if she is a warrior, coming straight from the battlefield and will soon join others, too. Her dress wasn't explosive or seductive.
It's more of a conservative, regal, poise type, which earns people's respect and fear. As in the very same dress, there are hidden 1987 weapons.
