Avi shook her head. "That's why sirens would sing, luring men to their death in ships." She gently stroked Alli, then murmured, "I don't want to give into those cravings..."
Avi took his hand. "Alli... do you want me to leave? Just say the word, and I will go, I understand." She was being fully serious now, pulling him close to gaze into the eyes she had fallen in love with, the pale blue that she adored.
Alli's eyes widened, and he pulled her even closer. He rocked back and forth with his girl, whispering in her ear. "never say such silly things. i love you so very much."
Avi said, "But Alli... look at what I am. I'm a flesh eating monstrosity, mixed with the blood drinking eternally damned. How is it you still love me?" She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close.
Alli lowered his lips to her neck, "because Aviance. your the only girl who's bee interested in me, romantically. your beautiful, kind.." He whispered. "must i prove i love you?"
All Avi wanted was to stay like this, locked in hs embrace, his lips to her neck, forever. These were the things that kept her feeling happy about herself, that kept her sane. He was her anchor.
