The Upside Down (For Eluuna)

“I don’t know,” she replied honestly. “But whatever I do, you won’t be involved. You don’t have to worry.”

 

“It’s bothering you,” she said with a sad little shrug. “I can keep this problem to myself so you don’t have to think about it. And who knows? Maybe I’ll forget you.”

 

She looked down at him for a moment, her brows furrowed, before very deliberately sitting on the bed.

 

She was quiet for a moment before crawling over to him for a moment.

“Do you want me to leave?”

 

She considered him for a moment before slipping into his lap, cupping his jaw with her hand and kissing him.

 

This reaction seemed to relax her and she ran her fingers through his hair slowly.

 

She still seemed sad, but didn’t say anything more on it, her arms wrapping around his neck.

 

She frowned, looking up at him nervously.

"...you do?"

 

Something broke a little inside of her and tears filled her eyes and she buried her head in his shoulder, not saying anything.

 

"I love you too," she whimpered. "I'm so sorry, Warner."
