Even when you didn’t feel like talking, his gestures held much weight in showing how much he adored you. He takes you in his arms and holds you close. Your back pressed against him and he presses his forehead against the side of your head, gently nuzzling your neck. You can feel the scruff of his beard as he slowly ran his jaw up and down your neck and across your shoulders. It didn’t hurt, if anything, the feeling was rather soothing.
Ardyn: “We will go through this together. You’re not alone.”
He turns you around and grasps both of your hands in his, placing them atop his his chest where his heart would be.
Ardyn: “If time cannot heal this wound. Then allow me. Let me carry the weight of all of your sadness, all your pain, all your burdens. I will bear it all just for the promise that a smile graces your face.”
You smile at how mushy he was being, you look up to see his satisfied smile. The glint in his amber eyes that showed you that he was sincere.
Ardyn: “Just like that…”
He takes your face in one of his hands hands and runs this thumb tenderly across your cheek. Ardyn’s eyes drop to your lips, the smile entrancing him even as it fell as you watched him bringing his face closer to yours. You meet in between and knew that everything was going to be alright.
