Ruh Roh (One on One)

Her eyes fluttered and she reached for him before going limp, her wings flickering like a candle in heavy wind before going out completely.

 

She seemed small, her head dropping weakly.

“Sam...”

 

She rested her hand weakly on the side of his face, her thumb brushing his skin before her eyes fluttered closed and she went completely limp.

 

Surprisingly, he would be able to hear a fast beating and there was a moment of silence before she laughed lowly, her voice clear and warm.

“Gotcha.”

 

She laughed deeply, sitting up on her arms to beam at him.

“What are you going to do about it?”

 

She fell backward with a yelp, something like real panic in her eyes.

“What are you doing?”

 

She struggled to sit up, glowering at him before launching across the grass to tackle him, pinning his wrists to the ground and floating about half a foot above his body.

"Ha! Gotcha."

 

"Yeah, but I'm a pixie. It's what's expected. No one thinks the human is going to prank someone."

 

She gave him a warm smile, her eyes meeting his gaze.

"I loved it."

 

"It's... different. It's a little hard to explain. Do you want me to get some for you?"
