Description
Purple wings opened up, casting a bright array of colours around the desolate mouth of the cave. The colours shimmered ever so lightly in the darkness as their bearer walked out into the night. Never before had he seen such a....beautiful sight. Amazed blue eyes held their gaze upon the fairy, something skipping a beat within his chest. It was a strange feeling to say the least. But it was only because that which lay deep within the core of his being was shut away so tightly. It wasn't something he just opened up to anyone anymore.

He never wanted to get hurt again, couldn't take rejection twice. Yet this, it was something different. There was something different about this girl, about this moment. He walked up towards the mouth of the cave, a slight bit of air passing through his lips as a...smile...came to them. In the years he'd been ruling as king, there hadn't been anyone who could make him feel something other than the hatred which burned deep in his chest for all those who found love. He'd never given anyone the chance to...until tonight.

It wasn't until tonight, when the skylight above him was smashed into millions of pieces, when he'd met her. The passionate girl with those fiery brown eyes who hadn't once held back during their sparring match. The one whom had, by now, taken off into the night skies of the Dark Forest. Her gleaming wings holding his gaze as he stepped out once more, wings itching, wanting to take to the air, just to be with her.

No, not just to be with her, but to be able to share the same space as her. Even if only for a little while longer. Without another thought, the king took off into the moonlit night, flying over his guest a bit, watching with what could almost be considered amusement as she looked back from where they'd taken off, only to run into one of his guards.

Quickly, and to avoid a rather unfortunate mishap, he dropped down from the air above him and closed the guard's lips before the other could utter another growl. The fairy gasped, but seemed momentarily relieved that the danger had passed for the time being. Continuing to make her way, he flew up ahead again, pausing this time only to watch her stop at a nearby spider's web. Together, they both looked up at the sky, the moonlight was perfect tonight.

He returned his gaze to her own now amazed features as they held their attention upon the spider's web. Her eyes looked so mystified by the sights before her, just as he was. Quietly, and without warning, a sensation of warmth began to carefully make its way up to his cheeks as his eyes were once again enraptured by the other. How was it that one person could make you feel so...warm?

How was it possible?

The ones who'd decided so long ago to close that emotion away from others....were now,

...falling so fast?
