The whole experience for him had spiked his level of emotion. He'd never poured so much out to anybody else in the whole world, he'd never let anyone see what he carried. Part of him even now refused to acknowledge that he dare let himself be hurt by his father. Still, he knew she was special. He hoped that even after he left, that would not be the last he saw of Melody. It was at that moment that he decided it wasn't going to be, he'd come back. But for the moment, he didn't think of leaving.<br/><br/>He just let the hug set in for a second. It was so important to him to know that she was here, she was okay, and she was going to give it all another chance. The hug just made him feel all warm inside, something he hadn't felt for a very long time. She was going to start giving herself a chance again, and that was more than enough. It was fantastic even, there was nothing better that he could think of. He put one of his arms around her to hug her back, the other one he used to wipe any stray tears off of her face. "I for one, particularly like the 'creature' that you are." Dimitri teased. "Especially the hair, though I guess I don't know what it'd look like natural. It looks fantastic red too though." He whispered, letting out a laugh afterwards. He'd hoped that this might make the mood brighter.<br/><br/>"I wonder if showing anyone the water would make them so happy." Dimitri joked, he shot a smile at her, finally releasing her from the hug. When was the last time someone had made sure to hug him so that he'd feel better? His mother, just before he left. And before that, he couldn't remember. It was certainly a nice change. He'd taken what she said about him not needing to be better, that he was already good. It spoke to him a little bit, it made him happy to think that he'd left such a great impression. It almost hurt to think he wasn't going to be here forever. "So, I was thinking, we could hit the beach tonight." Dimitri suggested, he was happy now. He'd never brought anyone with him to these night beach trips, it was a very odd experience whenever he had them. He was hopeful that Melody might join him.
