[#7. “I’ve Missed You” kiss]

Don’t even look at me for this pairing.

Her apartment was cold again, she realized as she laid down on her bed. Zithra tried to remember if she had ever gotten the heating fixed, but that time was all a blur to her,. So much had happened all at once. The sound of her door opening halted her from venturing back to a painful time. She sat up blinking through the darkness of her unlit apartment to see a figure standing there by the door, as if unsure that they should even be there. Zithra slid off the bed and walked over to him, tentatively reaching out to touch the man’s cheek.

“You’re-”

“I should have asked before coming in… Especially after the last time we talked.”
“It… It’s fine. I missed you.”

“I missed you too. This is just-”

Zithra doesn’t allow him to finish, she couldn’t bear hearing him finish that sentence. She went up on the tips of her toes to silence him with her lips. They were softer than how she remembered them, sweeter, warmer. Was it from being so long since their last kiss that made it feel sweeter to her? She heard him murmur her name against her lips and she opened her eyes, not realizing she had closed them.

All she saw the the dark ceiling overhead once her eyes finally focused. She sat up from her bed and looked around, and Zithra saw no sign that anyone else had been there. She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her forehead against them, ignoring the stinging behind her eyelids as tears began to form.

She ignored the screeching in the back of her mind and let the cold numb her.

Praying to have a dreamless sleep.

One without banshees or vampires.
