Charmi was ready to turn in for the night so she made her way up the Pendants to her room.
When she turned the corner and the door to her room was in sight, she was met with a familiar red haired miqo'te making his way to the exit.
"G'raha!" she called out to him "What brings you to the Pendants?"
"Oh! Charmi!" he looked up at her surprised "I was just.. visiting someone."
She felt a tiny stab in her chest at the idea of him visiting somene in the Pendants and it not being her.
"Oh.." she looked to the floor "Well i hope it was a lovely visit."
But he continued "Actually i found she was not in her room, but i think she is about to arrive" he said with a smile.
Her ears shot up and she looked at him, realising what he meant she returned his smile "Well if you would still like to visit her, i think you would be most welcome."
With that she continued her walk toward her door and G'raha happily followed.
She opened the door and welcomed him inside with a slight bow.
"So, to what do i owe this surprise visit?" She asked, as she started removing weapons and equipment from her adventures of the day.
He watched her as she moved about the room, doing her coming home routine "Well i had hoped we could talk for a little while."
His tone was very serious and this made her stop her movement and look at him.
She made her way to the dining table and sat down, motioning for him to take a seat aswell "Of course, what do you wish to talk about?" Matching his serious tone.
He took the seat and she noticed he looked very nervous, playing with the edge of his scarf, he visibly swallowed.
His eyes moved back and forth searching for something, the right words to say.
With a heavy sigh he stood back up and moved to the door.
The moment his hand found the door handle, another hand found his "Please don't go, i can tell something is troubling you so please, don't hide yourself from me anymore."
The hand that she was holding moved from her grasp and turned to take her hand in turn.
He moved it to his face, placed it on his cheek and sighed "It is you that troubles me Charmi."
She was taken aback hearing this and would have taken a step back was he not holding her.
One hand still holding hers on his cheek, the other found it's way to her waist, pulling her closer to him.
She must have had a confused look on her face because the moment he dared to look at her he let out a chuckle "I apologise, that was perhaps not the best choice of words"
He could see the look on her face remained the same so he continued "It might be better to say that, it is us that troubles me, i do not think i can do this anymore."
"What do you mean?" She finally spoke and took a step forward, placing her unoccupied hand on the arm to her waist.
Soft red eyes met worried blue ones as he finally released into the world what he had been keeping in for far too long "I mean that i care very much for you Charmi, more than i could ever put into words."
She took in a sharp inhale and just listened to his words as he continued "I know that my actions have hurt you in the past, but i promise you that i will stand at your side always. If you want me there."
"I do!" She almost yelled out "I want you G'raha, to be by my side always. I do not know how to explain other than that my heart is yours, it's always been yours."
His eyes started to fill with tears as he smiled his biggest smile "Truely?"
She giggled and placed her forehead to his "Yes, truely."
Taking both his hands from their places he moved them to her cheeks holding her face as he moved closer, looking into her eyes for any signs she did not want him to do this.
When he found none, he moved closer "And i am yours, my love".
Both their eyes closing, lips were mere inches apart when a loud knocking shook through the room and Charmi shot up in her bed.
Looking around she found herself in her room in Mor Dhona, she rubbed her eyes when the knocking came back.
"Charmi! Are you awake?!" Thancred could be heard loud and clear "We have a meeting, it's urgent apparently, we need you there."
She cleared her throat "I'll be just a moment!" and let herself fall back down to the bed arms wide.
Thinking back to the dream she just had, blush spreading over her cheeks.
She placed her hands where G'raha's just were and let out a heavy sigh, she had never had a dream like that before.
It took a few moments of internal freaking out and external blushing until she pulled herself up to get ready for the meeting.
And mentally preparing herself to face G'raha, knowing what she just dreamed.
