He thought for sure that was it. That it was all going to be over. Soon enough though, there she was. It was a little offensive to think she only came back because she thought he might be drowning or something. But he didn't care. He truly didn't, even if it would later hurt his pride. He knew what he wanted. She spoke, letting out an apology. Was she crazy? He was the one that needed to give sorries. But she did anyway. He'd have smiled and done something nice, but instead he struggled to gaze up at her. This was much much more important.<br/><br/>"Please don't go." He finally managed to let out. His tone was desperate, he was hardly even able to look her in the eyes. They were still the same shade of blue that he loved when she sat down with him at the cafe. He wouldn't dare cup her face or rest a hand on her. He wouldn't dare reach for her hand or try to kiss her again. "I don't wanna be alone right now... not after that. You and I were just a while ago...<span style="font-style: italic">so</span>close together. I had your hand and-and-and I let go." He stuttered, but he wouldn't cry. It was so hard, but he wouldn't allow it to happen. The truth is that he thoroughly enjoyed her touch, even if it was as simple as her hand being around his wrist. "I don't even know what came over me... I'm so sorry that I asked you to do that. I'm sorry I complained about being a demigod. Please don't leave me here to shit until I'm forced to leave in the morning." Dimitri nearly begged.<br/><br/>"I'm even sorry I sound like this." He said, he could feel the shame he had for himself. He was a firm believe that you should never apologize for who you are. And yet, he he was, equally ashamed of his accent. Even though he'd come to like it, Alannah had mocked him. Every time he said a single word, he braced himself for her to say something to him. "I just, I felt somethin'... somethin' new, somethin' I didn' know... There was this sensation when you kissed me. It was wonderful, amazing, it was just blissful. Even when you let me hold your hand, there was this weird sense of care and wholesome. A sense that I shouldn't let it go. I was just so complete. Please Alannah, I didn't mean to break it. But even if you didn'-" Dimitri froze in his words, he had no clue at all what he could possibly do. "Just please don't go, Alannah." He poured his heart out, hopping it wasn't creepy or a mistake.
