❝she was a beautiful dreamer.
the kind of girl who
kept her head in the clouds,
loved above the S T A R S
and left regret beneath the EARTH
she walked on.❞
her voice tickled his ears. it was foreign a beautiful sound amidst a sea of coughing, crying, and cursing. it bought about a smile, genuine, but lacking in size as he found himself unbearably tired.
“ hey. ” he sounded happy, his head tilted to the side as she grew closer. james had wanted to see her since he’d woken up, yet he couldn’t lie and claim that a small part of him didn’t wish that she would stay away. the only thing worse than feeling the way he did was knowing that others could witness it. but the disappointment was nonexistent when she walked in, drowned out FIRST by his delight and SECOND by his confusion. she was bruised.
a pained grunt slipped from his lips as he sat up further in his bed. “ what happened? ” all he knew about was the attack on the meeting. the people around him had conveniently left out the other beasts as they feared it would halt the healing process. stress him out and cause his body to retaliate.
she shook her head, waving off his concern as she set her gift onto the small bedside table, her attention still on him. ❝oh pesky little troll lost his way. you should see how he ended up. ❞ her laugh was soft, hushed and quickly drowned out by the rising concern that overpowered her consciousness now that she was closer to him. he didn’t look bad, he never could to her. but he looked ill. ❝where WERE you? i couldn’t find you and i… i was worried sick i thought something happened to you. well something did and i swear to god potter, i’d pick wrestling three trolls over not knowing where you are in the middle of all that chaos.❞ it was probably ill-advised to badger him about something that couldn’t be remedied now but she didn’t know how to proceed. she’d never been worried about someone like this before. her hand lingered over his, the tips of her fingers finally touching his hand delicately, almost like she was afraid he’d disappear if she moved too quickly. they were wafting through uncharted territory together yet apart, their fleeting moments offering some solace within the darkness. ❝how are you holding up?
