Tonks couldn't help herself and she grumbled under her breath, "Mysterious and unpredictable, and so are mountain trolls and they don't have a third of her temper." Tonks huffed, and started to genuinely wonder if now there was something more to her grousing at her aunt than her usual obligatory reasons. Could she be.. Jealous? Tooks shook her head, naw. No way. Wrenching her thoughts away from a place she was now sure she did not want them going, she smirked up at him, "I guarantee you I didn't want to see you, because I did. I'd never felt the way I did when I met you. It.. Confused me, and I did want to stay with you and I didn't know why and it was all so.. Overwhelming. But now what?" Tonks sighed, then pouted, "If you always want things you can't have, what happens now that you have me, hm?" Then again, with their relationship being genuinely illegal, she had to wonder just how much did he really have her.
Tonks felt something go tight in her chest and she swallowed, "I don't.. I don't want to ask for anything more from you. I don't want to ask you to love me more than her, and I don't need it." She looked to him then, forced herself to meet his eyes, "Because I love the way you love. Just as you do now. You offer me so much, but all I need is you as you are. You're all I need and no, it's not your fault we have to sneak around. None of this is your fault, and I'd do it all over and over again if only I get to be with you. I like that you're happy, I like making you happy. To me.. Your happiness matters more than anything else in the world," Her job, her world, her people, it was when he smiled and when he looked at her in that way he did that she knew she'd give it all up for him. Brushing her thoughts away she smiled, "You're not going to let up until I admit it, are you?"
The first time that night she felt as though she might actually cry was when he kissed her. Her breath caught and she closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around him tightly once more and holding him to her. She kissed him in turn, losing control of her emotions once and for all and simply not caring. She kissed him in desperation, and in fear. In need of just having him with her. And she kissed him in gratitude for being there, for being him. And she kissed him because she loved him, and in a world going to hell he was all she had.
