Claws and Fangs [Inactive]

[Mikkelle Sting]

"I used to smile like that for years. I'm not very clueless." she said mirroring what his fake smile looked like.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"I'm sorry, ok. Just..." Gale sighed. "You can leave if you want."

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria crossed her arms. "Why do you think I'm here? I came for you."

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"For me?" Gale chuckled. "What do you want from me?" He paused, then walked over to her. He stared into her eyes and spoke, "Go. Do something with your life. Don't waste time on me."

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria said nothing and stared at him for a moment. Finally she raised her hand and touched his cheek and whispered, "No."

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

Gale felt Andria's soft touch on his cheek, and returned it. With both his hands, he embraced her face, and then leaned in and kissed her. At first, he only kissed her for a moment, ut then he went back in for longer. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "But I love you."

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria smiled tenderly. "I think I can handle that." she whispered back and leaned in for another kiss.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

At that moment, as Gale held Andria in his arms, he truly knew what love was. He wanted to speak, but could thing of nothing to say. But all of a sudden, he broke the kiss and spoke before he knew what he was doing, "Come live with me!"

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria blushed. "A-Are you sure? I can be a terrible pain." she said quietly, feeling awkward.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"And a healer. Please," Gale begged.

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria blushed even redder. "A-Alright, if that's what you really want."

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"Of course it is," Gale replied, stroking her cheek. "Go home and get your stuff, I'll clean up a bit." Gale couldn't hold back his enthusiasm.

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria nodded and left the room, quickly heading out the door and back to the alleyway. She went grabbed a few simple things and placed them in a thin old bag and went back to Gale's house. She knocked on his room's door. "Gale, it's me, I'm back." she said.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"Hi," he replied, opening the door. "Do come in, I was just cleaning up."

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria looked inside the room. "It looked clean when I first came in." she said slinging her bag over her shoulder.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"You can set your stuff down in my room, we can unpack later."

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

"Ok." Andria said and headed to his room and set her bag on a chair. She went back to where he was. "Is there anything I can do to help you clean?" she asked, clasping her hands behind her back.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"No, it's ok. I was just finishing up anyway." Gale turned to Andria, and walked over to her. He put his hands on her arms and smiled. "I love you."

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria smiled. "I'm glad you do." she said slipping her arms around his neck.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

Gale leaned in to kiss her, then pulled back. He smiled at her enthusiastically. "Let's unpack your stuff first and then I want to talk," he said.

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria looked down at her bag. "There isn't much in here. Toothbrush, toothpaste, and stuff. I wash the same oufit and wear it everyday. So, yeah."

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"Then maybe I should take you shopping," Gale smiled. "You can unpack in my room." He winked. "Come down when you're done."

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria blushed. "Alright." she said and began to unpack. She quickly pulled out a worn-out teddy bar and shoved it under his bed. Don't want him to know I have that. she thought before coming down the staircase.

 

[The Cobalt Killer]

"Hey," Gale said. "Sit." He pointed to the couch.

 

[Mikkelle Sting]

Andria blushed and sat next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.
