Lust's palm pressed against Scar's cheek. She swallowed hard, her heart making those strange little swooping beats as she just looked at him for a few moments, feeling the warmth of his skin. She could feel her eyes misting, but not with a threat of leakage. It was like some physical manifestation of her welling emotion.
She couldn't honestly say she'd never heard those words before. But they'd never mattered to her. They'd never been something she wanted, or something that touched her.
"And I you."
She'd said the word once already, she didn't need to say it again. But she felt ridiculous saying 'thank you' or nothing at all. She knew he was less given to voicing his feelings than she was. And she knew he meant it, truly and without condition or coercion.
She leaned in, her arms slipping around him, and pressed her lips against his cheek.
