[Her confession of love is so quiet and soft in the silence of this room that for a split second Noel wonders if he actually heard and did not just dream it. Her face is so earnest and close to his. He can hear the terrifying thumping of his heart in his ears as he swallows the moment. He'd give anything for this soul in his arms. Anything-- Even if it cost him years worth of mistakes.]
... You deserve so much more than what I can give you.
[He observes her face and the depths of her green eyes with a sad smile. He brings a finger to her chin and lifts it slightly towards him. He's so lost without her. Here in his arms, it feels like the cloud in his mind can lift.]
I've loved you since the first day I've known you. So, I'll try...
[He kisses her softly and with the same slow innocence that he always does.]
[He says she deserves more, and yet all that Yeul wants is what they have now: a life together in a living world. Her needs are so simple and her desires simpler still. This is it. Being with Noel is everything.
And then he says he loves her.
It's then she realizes that maybe she had wanted more. More than just a life, a chance to love him and be loved in return. Her heart leaps and begins to pound rapidly, as if it would beat its way free.
Up until now, all their shared kisses have stayed innocent and gentle. This one feels different to Yeul somehow. The hand on his cheek slides up to wind fingers into his hair, pulling him even closer to her. Gone is the passive and chaste response to kissing, there's an insistence behind hers to convey just how deeply she loves him.
[There's a sharp jump in his heart as it picks up the pace. Her reciprocating in such a way has his nerves light on fire. He pulls her closer from around her waist. He continues to kiss her and follows her insistence with more gentle pressure.
It's a sharp reminder that she's a young woman and growing every day. He loves her and it's only human of him to want her too.
The room fills with the scent of fresh wildflowers, calming and sweet.
When they break his eyes are finally swimming with life.]
[]There's the softest whimper from Yeul when they do break because why did the kissing stop? Although it's obvious just how much she was enjoying the moment. Her hair's floating in the air like it's been inflicted with static electricity and tiny little glittery motes of light are bouncing around.
Her eyes are shining with love and stay fixed on Noel's face. He's so handsome and Yeul adores him so much. It's painful to her to see him hurting in anyway. Yet she's relieved that he's opening up to her, letting her help, rather than keeping her on the outside to worry for him.]
It's okay. I understand why you did.
[Truly, she does. No reproach ever on that score. It's only human to have fears and things that make you angry. Like Mog eating all your favorite fruit tarts. ALL of them.]
I'm sorry too, for upsetting you. But, I'm so happy you told me why you did. I want to help, I want you to be happy. To feel safe.
[She was born with the gift to guide. To bolster the hope of their people. And it's something she wants to do for herself, not just because of who she was born. Yeul wants very much to be useful, to make things better around her. Starting with the man whose arms she's curled up in at the moment.]
I love you so very much.
[If he has any lingering worries the first time was his imagination, there it is again.]
[With her curled up in his arms and looking at him like he's the light of her life? There isn't a moment where he's ever felt safer or happier. When she's with him his world makes the most sense. His heart beats and his lungs breathe. As long as she wants him and she's happy-- then he's happy.]
Never safer than when I'm with you. I love you, Yeul.
[The oracle drive, while it still makes him feel apprehensive, is something he can forget his feelings about. If it makes her happy that's all that matters.]
