Settled down on the couch, a small skeleton was struggling to stay awake. She'd been waiting for her partner to return home before she went to bed but he'd told her he was running late. Still wanting to wait for him she sat on the small couch, watching tv and reading before getting bored and deciding to sit in silence. Her head drooped, the soft patter of rain not helping her stay awake as she soon felt herself drift off.

How long she slept she wasn't sure but jolted up to the sound of the door slamming. She watched as her partner growled when he walked past her, not spotting her sitting there as he set a bag down in the kitchen. She could hear the cursing under his breath but to whom she was unsure, he only took notice to her on his way back. Spotting her small confused form, sitting up in a daze as she stared back at him. "Your home..." Her soft words eased his tense shoulders while he walked to her with a sigh.

"You didn't have to wait up on me.." His arms hesitated, setting at her sides as she rubbed an eye socket while her free hand sat on top of his shoulder. "I tried too but i dozed off.." She responded, gently pulling him to try and embrace him but his hesitation made her head tilt. "What's wrong..?" His gaze hardened while shifting to the side, her fingers gently grasping at the clothe of his jacket. He wouldn't give in to her gentle advances to try and wrap her arms around him, causing a frown to slowly form as she pulled her hands back to fiddle in front of her chest.

"C-Cronan...-?" "Are you afraid of me?" He cut off, sharp with his pressing question as his eyes finally met hers with a dark and unknown expression. She took a startled moment to recollect her thoughts before softly fixing the fur trim of his hood. "No.. I'm not afraid of you.. i'd never be." His deep growl rumbled out his ribcage while his hands suddenly grasped her frail wrist, pushing her back against the couch to be completely detained. "You should be, i could hurt you and it wouldn't be hard too."

He sneered, a threatening and dark aura surrounding the suddenly violent skeleton as he glared down. She was so small and frail underneath him, eye sockets widen as she kept her brave stare. "...but you won't." Caught off guard, he retracted his grip and leaned back. Confused huffing being the only thing he could manage while his own eye sockets widened. He'd leaned farther back as she sat up, leaning as close as the couch would allow before he fell back. Taking the chance, she got down from the couch and settled herself in between his lap.

Balancing on her knees as she leaned towards the suddenly flustered cronan while slowly guiding his arm to set his grip right at the base of her neck. "I know you'd never hurt me... Even when you think you will... i will always trust you with my heart and soul.." His breath hitched sharply as he stared down at her, her own eyesocket's staring up with unmistakable affection. The hand set against her throat pulling away while he leaned down to connect his lips with her own, which she gladly returned the kiss by leaning in.

Her arms wrapping around his shoulders while his rubbed circles into her hips, sliding down her thighs to guide her legs around his pelvis. Humming into the kiss, she traced his collar bone with a drag of her fingers and making him groan. Melting into her touches, his tongue slipped past her teeth and swirled around her own. The two pulling away to catch their breath as a sudden look of want settled in the large skeletons eyes, making him lean down to nip her jawline before dragging his tongue cross the surface. Going farther by sucking and biting her vertebrae, catching airy moans from zayne while she grabbed the back on his skull.

Lightly scratching while she arched into him to the point he could feel her soul pounding through her heaving ribcage. Grabbing the edges of her jacket, he began to push them off her shoulders and slide it off her form. Leaning his head back as he tugged the fabric off her shirt up and off her body, finding her soul shining lightly through her ribs as it swayed to its own dance. Planting a kiss on her sternum, he gently guided the humming soul out into his palm while he looked down to her loving gaze and still seeing the look of trust within her. His own soul swelled as he leaned down to give her a sweet kiss, knowing she'd trusted him with her very soul.

The entire make up in her being balancing within his palm and she felt completely safe with him, he felt himself being flooded with new found happiness. Lifting her soul up, he planted a soft kiss against it and making her gasp as souls themselves where sensitive. Returning her soul to rest back in its cage, he sat his love up to carefully dress her back into her shirt, nuzzling against her cheek with a happy hum his arms looped under her own. Embracing her into a large hug while she wrapped her own arms around his shoulders to give back, smiling as she returned his nuzzle.

Raising up, he lifted her in his arms and took her to their room while humming happily. Crawling on the bed by his knees, he turned to flop on his back while she laid on top of him. Giving her a final kiss before his head leaned back into the pillows with a content sigh, gently dragging his arm to rub the small of her back. "G'night.." He muttered, getting a soft goodnight in return as she began to doze off. His eyes shut in attempt to sleep, yet like every night it was hard to come by and unable to move, he could not twist and turn as he usually would do.

The rain against the window pattering gently while the silence of their home flowed through his mind, waiting for his mind to finally give in and allow him to sleep. A sound leaving his partner causing his eyes to open and look down, her brows where furrowed while a soft whimper escaped her lips. Her hands gripping fistfuls of his jacket before he tried to soothe her by rubbing her back. He felt a sharp wave flood into his soul causing him to gasp, his cheeks flooding with color as he looked closer. Her soul was shining through her clothes in a bright succession while singing out to his own.

Turning to resist, he bit his index finger and shook his head. He couldn't respond, he couldn't do that to her while she was vulnerable. He couldn't accept the soul bond.. yet her whimpers became louder as she slid up to grab the rim of his hood, her magic buzz almost intoxicating as he kept his soul quiet. Having no way to stop her, he'd have to wait out her call to him yet.. how long would that be? He trembled, holding her waist with one arm to prevent her from moving to much while she panted and whined against his neck, his breath sharply hitching. Groaning softly as he kept trying to resist with all of his might, his own breathing becoming heavy as the hum of her magic was becoming too much.

His eye sockets widened as she softly moaned out his name, only increasing the difficulty as her soul swayed and sang through her ribcage. "F-Fuck-k ba-aby..." He grit through his teeth, leaning his head back in restraint. His control crumbling as she continued to softly moan for him. "F-Fuc-ck-! A-Ahhh mnn..." His soul began to betray him as its own glow began to rise, singing back as he felt it dance along to her tune. "Nnn- f-fuc-ck... b-bab-by i'm s-so sor-rry- aH!" His back arched, his soul escaping past his ribcage to meet her own.

The two souls colliding as the hum of magic shared between the two became to much. Biting his knuckles to stop the large moan threatening to leave him, his grip on the small skeletons waist tightened. His soul returned but continued to hum along with her own as a wave of lust and need past through his bones, restraining himself as he left out a heavy sigh. "F-Fu-uc-ck.." Turning to lay on his side, he brought her with him as he spooned her. He sighed heavily, a huge weight of guilt towering over him as he realized what he'd done.

"F-Fuck.. fuck... i'm so sorry baby..i'm so so fucking sorry..." Holding her tight, dread and fear wavered his bones as his eyes shut tightly. For all he knew this could be the last time he'd be able to hold her after she learned what he'd done.. No sleep came to him that night as the hours dragged on for what felt to be an enternity of agony. When his bond woke, he pretended to be dozing while she sat up slowly. Trying not to sweat as he believed any minute now she'd figure it out and run away with the feeling of betrayal.

Flinching when she gently kissed his skull, pretending to be waking up with a nervous gulp. Trying to keep his nervousness to himself as she drowzily smiled to him, carefully leaning against his ribcage with a content sigh. "Morning cronan.." She mumbled in her quiet happiness, leaning away to slide off the bed. "Come on, i'll make breakfast." She hummed, walking to the door in her normal cheerful pace before she'd looked back to cronan. "I-I'll be d-down in a bit.." He muttered, trying to collect himself before he spat out his shameful deed.

She waited a moment before heading out to the kitchen. His soul throbbed, clutching his ribcage in his pain while waiting for it to subside. Collecting his emotions together, he slowly made his way out to the kitchen to see her finishing up waffles. Humming as she swayed side to side, setting the plates up for breakfast while turning the waffle maker off. Sensing cronans presence watching her as she turned and smiled to him. "Well look who came out for breakfast." Carrying the large plate of food over to him, she held it up for him to take. "T-Thanks.."

He hesitated, avoiding brushing his fingertips against her own while he made his way to the dinner table. Sitting down and absentmindedly poking the soft waffle with his fork. Tilting her head, zayne trailed him silently while observing his strange behavior. Watching him mess with his food with a curious expression before she leaned on her tippy toes to wrap her arms around his shoulders. "What's wrong..?" She asked softly, gently stroking his sternum through his shirt while he shuddered.

"N-N-Noth-hing..!" He spat quickly, turning himself and his chair to face her with a nervous glance. Resting his shaking hands on her hips and clutching a bit tighter then he meant. "U-Um... noth-hing's... wrong.." He lied, watching her face scrunch with concern. "Cronan..." She dragged slightly, looking at him with a knowing look while grabbing his arms. He sighed, sorrow and regret filling his eyes as he looked down defeated. "I'm so fucking sorry..." He muttered, his hold tightening in fear she'd leave him. "I'm so so fucking sorry..." Leaning his skull against her ribcage, he began to plead weakly. "Please don't leave me, i'm so sorry.. i didn't mean for it to happen..."

Her hand gently pet the back of his skull, hushing him gently. "What are you sorry for..?" She asked gingerly, making him gulp as he took a shakey breath. "I-I....bonded our souls... i-i-i swear, i didn't mean too!! I-I j-just-!" He sputtered in his regret, confused as she giggled. "You don't have to be sorry for that. I was the one who initiated it, wasn't i?" She spoke, planting a kiss on his forehead as he looked at her in his lost confusion. "W-What...?" She fumbled her hands together bashfully, a thick blush beginning to paint her cheeks purple.

"W-Well.... I wanted you to know i trusted you with.. everything that i am... b-but i wasn't sure how to a-at first and i was too n-nervous to ask if-f... you wanted too... so i thought if i pretended to accidentally start one in my sleep.. it would let you decide to get up and leave... or accept the bond..... I-I was... scared o-of what your reaction would be..." She slowly began to admit, instinctively ducking her head into the fabric of her shirt. "I-I... should be the one who's s-sorry... i-i forced it on you...i-i got too ex-xcited.. p-please don-n't be mad." Her voice wavered as his hands trailed up her body to stroke his thumbs against her cheeks.

"Baby no, i'm not mad at you.. its okay." Embracing her small form to sit on his lap, his hand slid down to her ribcage to feel the pulsing magic from her soul. It sang positively to his presence causing his own soul to react out of instinct. He grinned in a happy daze while nuzzling his small lover. "I love you so much that i'd give my soul for you any day. A life without you is a life i couldn't bear to live anymore." She giggled as he peppered her skull with kisses, effectively tinting her face with a violet blush. "I'm glad... i wouldn't be able to live without you either. My soul has been yours ever since we began dating..."

She admits, squeaking in surprise as he kissed her sternum. Causing him to chuckle as he embraced her warmly, feeling a sense of content knowing that their bond was true. "I love you... forever and always." He mumbled, hearing her hum in response. "I love you too.."

"Forever and always."
