THE VALKYRIE
You bring clarity when I can't see past
All the places where I made my mistakes
All the places where I made my mistakes
There’s a feline sort of satisfaction that emanates from the way her eyes slightly narrow, chin tilting higher, pleased that she has proven herself correct. “Precisely. And given neither he nor I can even set foot there yet, I’d say you have all the welcome in the world.” And if it’s proven he does not, Hotaru - fiercely proud and defensive of all she considers hers in a way that could compete with Jata’s own draconic possessiveness - is staunch in her belief that Sunjata could escape from anyone who sought to chain him.
It is difficult to contend with the swift influx of emotions; self-satisfaction morphing swiftly into realization that brings with it growth she never could have imagined. His hand along her jaw is steady, sure. It makes her ache inside.
“I don’t have a kinder way to ask,” she warns, though her pretty face shows every emotion plainly in a way no other soul has the pleasure of witnessing, “but you see us - together - permanently enough to consider my input?” It’s slightly louder than a whisper this time, emboldened and reassured by his own vulnerability, by the dedication he has already unwittingly shown. Hotaru hasn’t wanted to assume anything just because they were once utterly committed to each other. History can’t be relied on when it comes to making the foundations of this second chance relationship stronger. Still, her heart stubbornly quivers, melting around the edges at the idea that forever - or however long Caido gives them - might be something in their future.

Your love has turned me into something better
Elevate me with your love forever
Elevate me with your love forever
