Her eyes fluttered open, a soft moan escaping her lips. She tilted her head to the side seeing certain dark chocolate curls next to her bed. A warm smile spread across her lips. His hands were gripping hers firmly with his head bent down to the ground.
"Are you crying? It's been a long time since you cried." She said in a weak whisper next to him. His head shot up, eyes filled with surprise and disbelief. He stood up abruptly going in for a hug. Crushing her lungs in a tight embrace. She huffed for air.
"I'm gonna go back under if you don't let go of me," She half gasped tapping on his back. He loosened his hold but still held on tightly to her palm. A soft gaze on her face.
"Don't ever do this to me again." He said seriously, with a deep frown.
"Do what?" she said, acting oblivious before breaking into a smile.
He pulled her once again into a warm embrace. Not too tight this time. She melted into his touch with a satisfied smile, taking in his scent.
