Who: Albus and Belle Where: Safe house When: Night Why: He's apologizing Rating: TBA
It was night and Albus did what he had been doing, giving Belle her space. They hadn't spoken much, he hadn't really bothered her either. She wanted space and she got it. He avoided things that he knew she would want to do until she was calmed down. But it had been a few days and she hadn't once said anything to him that said she was calming... Maybe it was that secret female language? You know the kind you were supposed to know, even though you had no idea what was going on? What happened was horrifying and what did his actions say to her? They had one of the culprits in custody that had attacked her. What if her "LEAVE ME ALONE, ALBUS!" Was a "DON'T LEAVE, ALBUS!"? If that was the case then for the past few days, he had been a shit boyfriend.
The thought played on his mind as he sat out on the porch, debating or not to go inside to bed on the couch that he had made up but when he got up and went in? He didn't go to the couch, he moved passed it and down the hall where the bedroom was. He opened the door and slid in to see Belle sitting in bed, not looking too thrilled about anything at the moment.
"Hey," He said softly to hear Belle ask what he wanted? He frowned for a moment before pushing himself away from the doorway and moved to the bed, his body crawling on it, pausing as he leaned over her body and gave her a few kisses that seemed to be returned lightly and without much feeling, yep... he did more wrong than what he thought. Did he know what was the matter in specifics? No. hell it could be because he wasn't where she placed him but... he missed her, as sappy as it sounded.
Albus rolled himself over to where he was by the wall, sitting on the bed against the headboard. He looked at Belle for another moment, slowly landing his arm around her body and pulled her close so that Belle leaned into him. "I've missed your face." He said softly, He sighed, the arm around her, bending at his elbow so he could rake through her soft hair with his fingers.
"Belle, I'm sorry for what I did and for what I said. I never took in account how truly dangerous this place was... I didn't comprehend the risks. I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry that because of me, you got put in danger. But I'll never let anything wrong happen to you again. I'll be at your side every waking second to do what I should have done in the beginning, protect you."
His hand slowly slid down to hers where he held it, looking at the line of rings she had on her finger. All of which Albus bought her, aside from ones she got from her father for her birthday but a more special one was the first promise ring he bought her which had their names engraved in it. He fixed the ring so it was straight and the names were where they were supposed to be then abandoning her hand and took to hold her in a hugging position.
"I know when you told me to leave you alone, I probably shouldn't have but I thought I was just giving you space. I didn't want to smother you and if I was wrong, I'm sorry. I do care about you, more than anything. Even more than..." He paused, seeing her eye him and her brow raise. Yeah she knew where he was going with this didn't she? She wanted to hear the blasphemous talk! "Even more than..." His face looked strained as he found the words. "My...S-Star Wars action set." he said in a shaky tone. "Which still means a great deal to me but... you're are more important, you do know that, don't you?" He shook his head. "So whatever is on your mind that you want to say, go for it. I'm all ears."
