"Then tell me the whole truth," she pleaded, trying not to beg too much.
"Then tell me the whole truth," she pleaded, trying not to beg too much.
He opened his eyes and glanced down at her "you first." he muttered softly "tell me the real reason why you're bringing Durru along."
She hesitated. "I was going to… I was going to run an errand later," she answered weakly.
"which include?" he prodded gently, not wanting to overwhelm her, but also not letting her get away from the question
"Why does this matter?" she asked, trying to avoid the answer.
He fell silent and looked away "because it concerns you," he said
"Can't we just watch the movie?" There wasn't even a movie on. Her grip was slipping on whatever hold she had.
He sighed and nodded, trying to find something to watch
She winced. "I'm sorry."
"What for?" he asked, glancing down at her
"I want to have a nice night with you, but I can't without saying something that will ruin it. Like bringing up the miraculous," she answered numbly.
He laced his hand with hers and kissed the back of her hand "I do too," he said "do you know why I'm concerned with you using the miraculous?"
"A bit," she said, absently guiding her thumb over his hand.
"Emilie used it." she said, pain entering his voice. "One time, she was trying something new, something way beyond her understanding and control." he couldn't go on, the pain of the memory was too much "she…lost herslef in it."
"Are you worried that I'm going to be lost too?" she asked him quietly.
He gave her a nod and looked away from her "it's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust the power it gives it's user. And I will not lose another person I love because of it."
She touched his arm gently. "You won't," she whispered.
He glanced up at her "How can you be so sure?"
"I'm not," she replied with a quiet laugh. "But if I look like it, then maybe you'll feel like it."
He tilted his head in agreement "it might be working." he smiled softly
"That's good," she said, returning his smile.
He pressed their foreheads together " you just love getting yourself into trouble, don't you love?"
"I just can't stop myself," she replied jokingly.
"yeah, I can tell." he shook his head and kissed the bridge of her nose
Her face turned slightly pink at the remark, which was followed by the kiss.
