Alone in Darkness

[nokotchi]

January hugged Eon tightly. "Thank you, Eon.... Thank you..." she whispered.

 

[YellowJedi]

"For what?" Eon asked, confused.

 

[nokotchi]

"For not just running off when I told you that I would put you in danger, and instead staying with me..." January told him.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Oh, it's no problem." Eon told January. "I should be thanking you, you didn't run away when I did that thing to those bullies..." he smiled. "Plus, I've never felt like this about anyone but you January."

 

[nokotchi]

"The thing is, with the bullies, you were just standing up for yourself..... Me.... I'm a murderer.... How could someone ever love a murderer like me?" January asked, looking down.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Because you're not the murderer. You're not in control when you do it. That's how I could love you." Ein said softly. "Stoo being so hard on yourself, it's not your fault."

 

[nokotchi]

January looked up at Eon, but wasn't sure how to respond, so she stayed silent.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon looked at January. "Please, don't hate yourself over it."

 

[nokotchi]

"It's hard not to...." January whispered with a sigh.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon frowned, and decided just to leave the subject.

 

[nokotchi]

January just closed her eyes and leaned over onto Eon's shoulder.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon smiled and yawned a little bit, he was tired.

 

[nokotchi]

"Want to get some sleep?" January asked quietly.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon just nodded, too tired to talk.

 

[nokotchi]

January slowly stood up and helped Eon up. She walked over to her bed, pulled the covers back, and crawled into the bed.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon smiled and laid in the bed, quickly falling asleep.

 

[nokotchi]

January curled up next to Eon, falling asleep only seconds later.

 

[YellowJedi]

Timeskip?

 

[nokotchi]

sure

January woke up the next morning and stretched a little, careful not to wake Eon.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon was still asleep, and he rolled around a little.
