[ Lapis had never been the shy one--it was because of her that he'd even dared to get this far into a relationship with her. It was always her confidence that shone bright between them, a certainty of her feelings. Perhaps it was that desire to be happy, when the rest of her life had been so difficult--but whatever it was, he didn't rightly care.
Being with her had still been the best days of his life, by far--even better than the days he spent acting in a studio, even better than the days he'd spent signing autographs for people who were fans of his work. He didn't need anything else in the world if she was by his side.
And as she huffs and calls it unfair, he can't help but to laugh just a little more. An amused, but happy sound of his own as he lowers a heart to touch over his chest. His heartbeat is so quiet these days, barely there--and yet, he could feel a warmth there as she spoke all the same.
And then she says those words--and he swears, in an instant, he feels all of it starting to boil over, a heartbeat louder in his ears than he'd felt in months. He turns to look at her--no, STARE at her in muted disbelief. ]
