"lena . . ."
he took a deep breath and looked down at the floor for a brief second. looking back up into her eyes, he held her hands.
"i can't promise us being together will work out. but what i can and will promise is that our friendship will never be lost no matter what."
She froze a moment, eyes darting away before finding him again.
โWhat ifโฆwhat if we fuck this up? You areโฆa good friend. I do not want to lose that.โ
he was just about to be disappointed by her pulling away. until he saw the softness in her eyes that told him she wanted this.
he looked into her eyes and caressed her cheek lightly with his knuckles.
"yes, lena. i truly mean this."
The widow pulled away out of instinct, eyes searching his. Had she wanted this? Yes. Even if she did not admit to herself.
She brushed a few stray locks from his temple, softness in her eyes.
โYou mean this?โ
Blank eyes stared back at his mesmerizing smile. โThen youโฆare crazier than I thought.โ
But even at her denial, she made no effort to move away from him.
โGo on. Come in.โ
Her glance at ( the reader ) is more amused than threatened.
โThere is no use attempting to pick my locks. My security system is not the standard sort. You will not appreciate what you are injected with if you continue.โ
he moved closer to her as they locked eyes with each other.
"does that surprise you?"
it was obvious to everyone else. no matter how much he denied it.
@LethalLenochka "no, i've vented enough. thanks though. i really appreciate you being here for me."
like reflex, he took her hand in his and interlocked their fingers together. squeezing affectionately.
@LethalLenochka he sat down next to her as she scrolled through films on the tv. when he saw what she landed on, his brows furrowed.
perfect timing for it since it's almost spook season.
"i've seen the trailer. looked really good."
@LethalLenochka for it yet. but it's been long enough since sarah to let himself be with someons new. not tonight though. not when he's deeply grieving his first love.
"that's up to you. we can watch tv or anything you want."
he picked up his glass and downed the liquid in one gulp.
@LethalLenochka he chuckled lightly at the tone of voice in her comment about killing the time of thirty minutes.
that was so yelena. suggesting to kill the time in such a playful tone. he adored it. he adored โ no. he ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฅ her. deep down, he's known that all along. but wasn't ready โ>
@LethalLenochka softly after nudging her arm playfully. knowing it would thankfully put just enough space between their bodies.
"i'll call it in."
he grabbed his phone and called the pizza place. he ordered her favorite before hanging up.
"it'll be here in thirty minutes."
@LethalLenochka it was getting tougher by the second not to kiss her right now. especially after she hugged him again. their faces even closer together. his breathing was heavy and she'd probably notice. see his eyes constantly glancing towards her lips.
"how does pizza sound?"
he whispered โ>
