DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of these characters, they belong to Kohei Horikoshi

Welcome to the first of seven works of the Candy Heart Club! First up is Shoto Todoroki with the candy heart saying “Melt My Heart”. Let me know if you’d like to be added to the event taglist, and as always, the event masterlist is linked right above! Stay sweet and happy February!

Prompt: Everything he does is just so sweet. Whether it’s holding your hand on the way back to Heights Alliance or leaving you flowers. You notice a little something that missing - that passion to melt your heart. 

A/N: So excited to kick off Candy Heart Club! I had to start off with Shoto cause he’s my #1, but I did something a little different with his character. Of course, since it’s a Valentine’s Day event, he’s gotta be sweet and caring and lovely and fluffy BUT I wanted to make it a bit more dramatic and passionate B/C VALENTINE’S DAY!!

Word Count: 1.6K

Shoto Todoroki was dreamlike. Seemingly plucked from a Jane Austen novel, he was a modern-day Elizabethan era gentleman. He asks you to go on dates with him, not to hang out in his dorm room. He leaves you bundles of dried lavender by your door with a simple little love note tied to it. He tells you that you’re beautiful when you join him for breakfast in the common room, even though your hair is sticking in wonky directions and you’re pretty sure that there was drool crusted onto your cheek. Reassuring, polite, lovely. Everything a girl could want…well, sort of. There was always something missing from those dates and notes and compliments. They lacked fire.

When he walked you back to your dorm after a late night date, he’d simply smile and say ‘sweet dreams’ - no goodnight kiss. The notes held sweetness but were a bit short of passion. His compliments tended to stay strictly on a kids’ movie level. You loved it all, you loved him. But you were craving that romantic movie moment. Sometimes you just want him to drop his sweet demeanor and have him drag you to the edge of a cliff so you could yell ‘I’m flying!’ while wrapped in his arms. But, fire has ruled too much of his life - his father made sure of that - so you were fine with sweet and kind and caring, even if you had to resort to daydreaming about him ensnaring you in a fiery kiss every now and then.

Your dinner date had been exquisite. The food was incredible and the terrace you dined on was something out of a painting. Of course, you’d expect nothing less from Shoto. The sun had already started to set by the time the two of you had gotten up from your table, but the massive gray rain clouds that were overtaking the sky cast a darker lens over the world. Your hand was in his, swinging a little between the two of you as you took your time walking back to UA grounds. It’s quiet, but it’s comfortable. The part of town you were in was definitely still very city-like but quaint. Kind of like every scene in a movie set in an idealized Paris - without the litter and crowds. The one with different pastel-colored townhouses and curling iron railings. You almost expect someone to open up the shutters of their window to start singing a verse. Whilst you’re pleasantly distracted, Shoto has his eyes trained on the ground, focusing on every step forward. You only notice when you’re dawdling a little, marveling at a flower box with perfect looking flowers - seriously, they could probably win awards if there was a competition for it - and Shoto tugs your hand a bit more forward. You blink a bit in confusion and give him a tentative smile.

“Hey, is everything okay?” You ask, earning a quick nod from him.

“Yes, there’s just this gelato shop that closes before 8:00 that I planned for us to go to.” You frown, perplexed.

“But you don’t like gelato.” You point out, gaining a moment of pause. You register the varied pitter-patter of raindrops beginning to hit the ground and Shoto tenses.

“In that book you like, don’t the characters share a bowl of gelato?” He poses, getting a small laugh from you.

“Yeah, but what does that have to do with us and our date?” Shoto’s cheeks flush just a bit, clearly embarrassed.

“It’s romantic.” He mumbles, suddenly finding his shoes very interesting. You nod as a raindrop plops onto your shoulder.

“Yes, romantic for them,” You say, shifting your weight from one foot to the other, “because they both really like gelato. I know you don’t like it and I find it mediocre at best - kind of overrated, even, in my opinion.” Trying to add a bit of humor to your statement didn’t really have an affect on Shoto, causing your confusion to grow into concern. “Shoto, can you tell me what’s going on?” For the first time, Shoto looks frazzled. He seems uncertain about the entire situation. His gaze flits around wildly from you to the townhouses to the rain-filled sky, to the ever-growing intensity of the rain on the pavement.

“Let’s go, we don’t want to get poured on,” Shoto begins to say, but you keep your feet planted.

“I don’t mind the rain, but Sho. What’s going on?” You ask, worry coating your voice. Just as the Shoto had observed, the rain started falling at a much faster rate, coating your clothes and making your hair stick to your neck whilst his was becoming slicked to his forehead, little drops falling from the ends of it. Even though he was clearly upset at something, you couldn’t help but admit that he looked seriously attractive. Not handsome. He looked hot. 

The rain is heavy now, just shy of pouring, while you’re looking at him. The sundress that you were wearing was weighing more heavily on your shoulders and drops were gathering on your lashes. And it’s romantic. It’s so, so romantic, and you can’t help it. Your lips quirk up in a smile, that spreads to a grin, that erupts into a giggle. Shoto snaps his head up to meet yours.

“Y/N?” He says, a little confused. You look up to the sky and let your hair hang back, letting the rain fall freely onto your face. It’s absolutely pouring now and you should be shivering, but Shoto’s holding your hand. And you feel warm.

“I’m sorry, it’s just… I’m so freakin’ in love with you.” You blurt, laughing through the rain and tilting your head to meet Shoto’s gaze. He’s shocked and he’s beet red. 

“Wha, what? But, how, what?” He asks, looking around, trying to gain some clarity into the situation. “But I had this whole plan on how to say it to you.” He explains, earning more giggles from you.

“By sharing gelato? And trying not to grimace through eating it while you tell me you love me?” You get out, doubling over in laughter. Shoto’s lips pressed together and a playful smile sprouted from them.

“Hey, no laughing!” He says, a chuckle starting to come from him.

“That’s what you were freaking out over!” You explain, pointing at him like you’re an attorney finding the defendant guilty. He puts his hands up in confession and lets himself laugh freely. “I’ve got you down to a “t” Shoto Todoroki, I know your moves before you make ‘em!” Shoto’s smile turns quickly into a smirk, an expression you’ve never seen on him.

“Oh yeah? So how will I kiss you then?” He prompts, adding a shake to your laugh.

“Uh, what?” You say. He takes a step closer and you can now see the clearly defined muscles beneath his wet white buttoned down shirt.

“You say you’ve got me down to a “t”. Tell me how you imagined our first kiss going.” You look around, heat growing on your cheeks.

“Oh, I dunno…” you say, looking around.

“I know you’ve imagined it before. Tell me how it goes.” He says, losing the bit of cockiness he gained and replacing it with complete sappy kindness. You purse your lips, but to your dismay, it bleeds into a silly little smile.

“You’d walk me back to my dorm and kiss me goodnight. It’s sweet, quick - a little nervous. But it’s darling and gentlemanly. Just like you.” You admit. Shoto’s so close to you now.

“I’m so sorry Y/N. I love watching you succeed and be content.” His hand moved to tangle itself in your hair. “But you’re going to have to be wrong just this once.” And then his lips are on yours. It’s fiery and it’s feverish and it sets off fireworks. Your hands go immediately to his shirt, grabbing onto the wet material and holding onto it. His other hand sweeps around your waist, holding you flush against him as his mouth moves against yours. You’re kissing Shoto Todoroki in the pouring rain - and you’re melting. You’re sugar melting from water but here’s Shoto, keeping you together, holding you in his arms. You are breathless and it’s utterly exhilarating. And then it becomes increasingly aware that if you didn’t breathe in oxygen soon, you might pass out. You were fine with that result, but Shoto - ever the observer - pulled the two of you apart slowly and rested his forehead against yours. 

“My heart’s beating so fast.” You breathe, because really, it’s the only thing you could manage to say.

“Me too.” He says, his embrace of you growing more tender than fervent, like the two of you had all the time in the world.

“We’re gonna catch a cold if we stay out here much longer.”

“Yeah.” He says, now pressing soft, light kisses to your cheeks, your forehead, your nose. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” The two of you are silent for a moment.

“This is so much better than gelato.” He admits, resulting in you throwing your head back in laughter and a wide grin spreading across his face.

“You melt my heart.” You confess.

“That’s cheesy - like your previous idea of our first kiss.” You giggle and take his hand in yours again, tugging him along the street more quickly towards UA.

“Hey, I still like that idea a lot. But you’re right, I was wrong about the outcome.”

“It can be our second kiss then.” He says, squeezing your hand. And there he was again. Reassuring, polite, lovely. “So you can be partially right.” And fiery.

Halloween Imagines- Red Riding Hood KiriWerewolf Bakugo

Vampire Todoroki- There’s a very old mansion in your neighborhood that everyone says is haunted. It’s surrounded by no trespassing signs. Your friends dare you to go in but you find is definitely not a ghost. Well at least not only a ghost. You have a run in with a very different sort of supernatural being. After that, you end up running to said being. ~

“I do not think this is a good idea.” I called back over my shoulder. I heard my friends laughing behind me. I looked at them back by the gate.

“It’s fine, Y/N. Just go in for a little while, explore, and then come back out. No big deal.” Monoma called. The others agreed. I internally groaned before turning back to the dark

path. The long driveway led to an abandoned, gothic mansion. It was supposedly haunted and my friends had dared me to go in.

“If anything happens just give us a call. We’ll be right in.” Kundo said. I nodded and walked on. I was starting to think that there was no house after a bit of walking and seeing nothing but trees.

“Holy…” Out of nowhere a beautiful house appeared finally.

I took a long look at it. “It doesn’t look abandoned on the outside.” I walked around a stone fountain and up the steps. I tried the door and it opened easily and silently. I pulled out my phone and saw I had no service. “Great.”

The front hall was grand but dark. I could see very little except small glimpses in the moonlight. I walked carefully through until I found a staircase. I walked up the stairs carefully, using my phone as a light. The place was absolutely humongous.

“I’ll get lost if I’m not careful.” I stepped into a room and saw furniture covered in fabric. A fast gust of wind blew behind me. I jumped, dropping my phone. I looked down the hallway. I saw nothing. I picked up my phone and moved on. “Old house and it’s drafts.”

I made it downstairs and found a nearly immaculate kitchen.

It was confusing. The whole house was actually. Save for a few dusty rooms, the mansion was in perfect shape. It doesn’t look abandoned at all. I looked around in uncertainty before a light caught sight of a light under a door.

“What?” I took a step towards it. I slid the doors open and gaped at the sight. The room was lit bright with candles. It was a dining room and there was a place set with a full wine glass and an open book.

I walked up to the table and stared at the wine glass. The liquid was dark and red. I looked around the room before picking up the glass. I took a quick whiff and recoiled at the metallic smell. I swirled it around and realized how thick the liquid was. I set it down and dipped a single finger tip in. I brought it to my mouth for a taste.

“Shit!” I gagged at the taste. I stared in horror at the realization of what the glass held. I looked around in a panic and stumbled back to leave as fast as I could. I turned to run

when instead I froze at the man that stood right in front of me. He quickly grabbed the hair at the back of my neck and pulled back. “Ah!”

“Who are you? Why did you enter my home?” He asked sternly. I reached up and clutched at his wrist as he pulled my head back more.

“I, I, I…” I stuttered. I tried to lean back to alleviate the pressure from his grip but he only tightened it and pulled me closer.

“Who Are. You?” He asked again.

“Please!” Tears streamed down my face as I screamed. He looked down at me with cold eyes. His eyes seemed to be searching mine. His face softened after a minute and his grip loosened his grip. I whimpered as he ran his fingers through my hair.

“I’m sorry.” He said before backing off. “Forgive me but I was only acting on the fact there is on intruder in my home.” I rubbed the back of my head and nodded.

I looked him over and noticed the old fashioned clothes he was wearing. He had on a Victorian era shirt and dark trousers. His hair was what stood out the most. Red and white split down the middle. He had a striking pair of heterochromia eyes. There was something else strange that I couldn’t place.

“It’s alright. And I’m sorry. I didn’t think anyone lived here. No one does. But that explains why the house is so immaculate.” I looked around nervously.

“Yes, I’ve lived here my whole life.” He said. “Now, why exactly did you break into my have?” He began advancing on me slowly. I started to back up. This continued until I hit the table. I gasped but never took my eyes off him. He stopped right in front of me.

“My friends dared me to come in. Like I-I said we thought it was abandoned.” My eyes looked back at the glass before back to him. He followed my gaze before slowly looking back at me. “That’s not wine is it?” I asked, hoping my earlier realization was wrong.

“No, it is not.” I whimpered slightly and looked away. “Don’t worry. I won’t…”

“Todoroki-kun?” A high pitched male voice echoed through the house. The male turned to look over his shoulder and I took the opportunity. I slipped away and ran. I shoved through a doorway and took off down the hall. I heard a voice call out from behind me but kept going.

“Gotta get out of here.” I turned many corners but did seem to be getting anywhere. I turned to look over my shoulder to see if he was following. I saw nothing and turned back. There in front of me was a green haired man. He looked at me shocked and I took a hard turn and ran up the stairs.

“Todoroki-kun?” I heard the man yell. As I got to the top of the stairs, I saw ‘Todoroki’ standing there just in front of me.

“Where are you going?” He called. I skidded to a stop but lost my balance as I did. I saw a look of panic cross his face as I fell back and over the railing.

“Ah!” I screamed as I fell. Pain exploded in my right arm and thigh. I tensed, thinking I was going to hit the floor. Instead I felt myself being caught before that. The breath was knocked out of me. I started gasping for air.

“Hey, calm down. Breathe.” I heard Todoroki say. I opened my eyes and looked to my left as I gasped. Todoroki was holding me and had a look of worry on his face. “Breathe.” He knelt down and sat me down on his knee before holding my face. I slowly got my breath back but felt no less faint.

“Ow.” I whimpered as the throbbing reached it’s head in my arm and leg. I squirmed and looked up at Todoroki. I saw his eyes move to my arm and widen.

“Shit.” He muttered. His mouth hung ajar and I saw fangs grow right before my eyes. Everything became too much in that moment and I passed out in his arms.

3rd POV

Todoroki held tight as they went limp in his arms. He steadied his breathing and got himself under control after smelling their blood. He readjusted his arm under their back and replaced the arm under their legs. He lifted them up carefully before walking up the stairs.

“Todoroki-kun?” He paused and looked down at his friend.

“Midoriya. Can you get the medical supplies and meet me in my chambers?” He asked softly.

“Of course Todoroki-kun. I’ll be right there!” He was gone in a blink. Todoroki walked down the halls to his bed chambers. He set Y/N down on the bed and brushed hair out of their face. A small smile came on his face before the blood caught his attention again.

“Here you go.” Midoriya popped up holding the supplies. He set them down on the bedside table and handed him gauze.

“Can you get a wash basin as well?” Todoroki asked. Midoriya nodded and did that quickly. Todoroki cleaned up the cuts thoroughly.

“Are you alright Todoroki-kun?” Midoriya asked while looking over his shoulder. “With the blood?”

“Yes, Midoriya.” He began to wrap their arm. Once he finished that he went to their thigh. “I am pleased that you came to visit Midoriya but I need to take care of them. Could you please…” He let the question hang in the air.

“Oh! Of course! I’ll stop by another day.” Midoriya said before saying goodbye and leaving. Todoroki then removed Y/N pants to take care of the cut on their thigh. Once he was finished, he let them rest.

Y/N’s POV

I groaned as I woke up. I stretched my arms and back before snuggling back into the pillows and blankets. I took in breath before sighing. The scent of the blankets finally registered. Clove, cinnamon, and a little lavender. I opened my eyes and pushed up on an elbow.

“Huh?” I saw an unfamiliar four poster bed in an unfamiliar room. I looked over the room and was in awe.

The room was huge. There was antique furniture throughout the space and the walls had a few tapestries hanging. There was a fireplace that was surrounded by a beautiful hearth. I looked to my left and saw a bay window while there looked to a balcony behind curtains on the far wall. It was still night. I peeled back the covers and tried to move off.

“Ow.” I flinched as I felt a pain tug on my leg. I looked down and saw a set of bandages. I gasped and remembered the fall I took. My eyes darted to my arm and saw a similar sight.

I got up carefully and walked towards the balcony doors. I didn’t open the door but looked out. I saw a moonlit garden. I turned back to the room. There was an open door and it led to a bathroom. I Went to the sink to wash my face. I looked up and watched the water drip down my face.

“Am I going crazy?” I asked myself before grabbing a small towel to dry my face. When I closed my eyes, the scene replayed in my head. The wine glass, the running, the fall… the fangs. I stalked, slowly lowering the towel. “Fangs. He had fangs and the glass was …” I looked at myself in the mirror. Before I could think any farther, I realized I wasn’t wearing my clothes. I was in a large plain Shirt. I ran back into the room.“Where are my…” Todoroki was standing there with my clothes in his hands. “Clothes.”

“I have them.” He said before laying them on a dresser. “They were dirty and damaged so I cleaned and repaired them.”

“Thank you.” I said. I looked at them before him again. The silence was awkward as I stood there half bare. I rubbed my arm in nervousness. “You’re a… I…” I wanted to ask if my assumptions were correct.

“Yes?” He perked up.

“First of all, thank you for taking care of me.” I motioned to my cuts.

“You are welcome.” He bowed his head. I pulled down the end of the shirt. I saw him notice. “Why don’t you get dressed? I’ll turned around.” He did as he said. I quickly changed.

“Here.” I handed him the shirt he took it somewhere before returning quickly. He guided me through the house to the front door. As he walked to open the door, I couldn’t hold my tongue anymore. “You’re a vampire, aren’t you?” He froze.

“Yes. Yes I am.” He turned to me. “But you have no need to be afraid of me. I do not prey on humans anymore.”

“I know. I-I-I mean I didn’t know about the not preying on humans but not being afraid of you. If you were going to hurt me you would have already done it. Also you wouldn’t have patched me up either.” I took a big breath after my ramble. “I was just shocked and spooked earlier so that’s why I ran. I was afraid at the moment but now I’m not.”

“I’m glad.” He gave me a small smile. “I can understand why though. You said you and your friends thought my house was abandoned so finding out someone was living here can be frightening.”

“You’re telling me.” I chuckled before I was hit by a thought. “My Friends! How long was I out? They’re going to be so worried.” I gasped. “I have to go.” I ran to the door and opened it. I paused and looked back at him. I saw a sadness flush in his eyes. “If I can, I would like to meet you again.”

“Yes!” He answered quickly. He coughed and looked away. I giggled at the nervousness. “I mean, I would like that very much.”

“Great!” I smiled big. “Bye!” I said wistfully. I waved before running down the path.

For the next week, all I could think about was Todoroki. It didn’t leave my mind even at work, at school, or anytime. I was actually beginning to miss him terribly when a note appeared on my window seal. It was a handwritten letter from Todoroki. It was just a letter to check in on me. I wrote one back and placed it in the same spot before going to bed. The note was gone by morning.

These notes continued on for months. We got to know each other through paper & pen but I never saw him again. I was falling in love with a man I’ve only seen once and through his words. As the letters continued, they became more intimate. I was building up the courage to confess to him. I was planning to confess in tonight’s letter but those plans change as soon as I got home.

I turned off the sidewalk to walk up to my house. I hopped up the steps but paused when I saw the door cracked. I furrowed my brows in confusion because my mother never left the door open.

“Mom?” I called out as I pushed the door open. I walked in and looked into the living room to see no one. I walked to the kitchen, dining room, and back to the front of the house. A loud sound of glass shattering came from upstairs. I ran up and towards my mom’s room. “Mom! What happ…” I trailed off when I saw the horrid sight in my mom’s room.

“Hello there, Y/N dear.” My mothers boyfriend was standing over my mothers bloody body holding a dripping knife. He had a sickening grin.

“Ah…” I let out a strangled noise before covering my mouth. My eyes began to sting.

“I hate that you had to see this sweetie. You came home too early.” He said sickeningly sweet. He wiped the blade on his jeans. “But I’m afraid since you did, I can’t let you leave.” He took a step towards me. I jolted back and hit the door jam. His sweet smile turned sinister. “Now, now. Just come here sweetie.” He jerked towards me but I threw a vase at him. I bolted down the hall and stairs. At the bottom, he caught up to me and grabbed my messenger bag strap.

“Ah!” I screamed as he yanked me back into a wall. He placed the knife to my throat and I whimpered, clutching his wrist.

“I told you to come to me you little brat.” He sneered at me. He closed his eyes, took a few big breaths before opening his eyes again. “You’re not a brat, no.” He ran a hand down my face. I flinched away from his touch. “You’re my sweet little girl… my baby.”

“You’re demented!” I screeched and kneed him. He doubled over and I ran for the back door. I ran through the back yard and into the woods. I heard him screaming and running behind me. I ran through the trees towards the one place I would be safe.

Before I ever got to the gates, I couldn’t hear him. I slipped through the rod iron gate.

I ran down the lane at full speed with tears running down my face. I stumbled and fell, catching myself on the side of the fountain. I flinched at the scrap on my hand. I pushed myself up though and ran up the steps before nearly running into the door. I ripped it open and darted inside.

“Todoroki!” I called out. I waited for a response but got nothing. I took in a shaky breath and hugged my stomach. “Todoroki?” I cried out again. I bit my lip to keep them from wobbling. “He’s not home.” I told myself. A sob escaped my throat and I covered my mouth with my uninjured hand.

I bolted up the stairs and down the halls to the room Todoroki had put me in before. I opened the door and slammed it shut. I leant against it. I dropped my bag off to the side and pushed myself off and launched myself on the bed. I buried myself in the pillows and let myself cry.

3rd POV

Todoroki walked into his home. He had been out for a night stroll under the full moon. He paused when he smelled a familiar scent. Two actually. One was Y/N’s natural scent and the other… Todoroki caught sight of the bloody handprint on the door.

“Y/N.” Worry coursed through him. He ran up the stairs, following their scent. He followed it to his bedchamber. He threw open the door, eyes darting around the room. He found a shaking on his bed. He quickly knelt over them. He placed a hand on their shoulder. “Y/N?”

“Ap…” They jumped before looking at him. “Todoroki…” They sat up and buried themselves in his chest. He froze in surprise. They cried into his chest. He wrapped his arms around them and sat them both back against the pillows.

“Sh.” He ran his hand through their hair trying to comfort them. “What happened? What has you in such a state?”

“My mom, my mom…” They gasped nuzzling into his chest. “Her boyfriend killed her and tried to kill me!” They exclaimed. “I walked in on him… Her body was on the floor… so much blood… knife to my neck… chased me…” They sobbed.

“fHey, hey.Shh. You’re safe now.” Todoroki held them tighter. He gently grabbed their injured hand to see it.

“I tripped outside.” Y/N said before he could ask. The bleeding had mostly stopped by now. He went back to running his fingers through their hair. He just let them cry into his chest. They eventually fell asleep and he tucked them in. He left the room.

“Midoriya.” He called out. Said green hair boy showed up in an instant.

“Yes, Todoroki- Kun?”

“Can you watch over Y/N while I go out? They’ve been through a horrible ordeal and I don’t want them to be alone.” He walked back into the room.

“Of course!” He followed and stood at the end of the bed.

“I will be back as soon as I can. If anyone comes, don’t let them near them.” Midoriya nodded and Todoroki turned back to Y/N. He brushed a hand across their forehead. He leant down and kissed their head.

Todoroki ran towards Y/N’s house and saw there were already police and an ambulance there. He hid close enough to see what was going on. A man was being arrested and he was maniacally laughing.

“The women asked for it.” He screamed. “And the brat. Ha! You’ll never find them!” Todoroki seethed with anger. He couldn’t do anything since the police had the man but he hasn’t wanted to sink his fangs into someone this bad in so long. His eyes moved to the house. He went inside to Y/N’s room. He could smell the blood from here. He looked out the crack in their door and saw the police walking around.

“Y/N hasn’t been found.” One said.

“No one can reach her either. Maybe that psycho was telling the truth.” Another commented. “Maybe he got them.”

“Maybe.” Todoroki stepped back and looked around the room. He quickly packed a few things before leaving.

Y/N’s POV

I jerked awake from the nightmare. I opened my eyes and peaked out of the blankets. I saw Todoroki’s room and relaxed again. I curled up in a ball. I tried to calm my breathing as I heard a door open. I looked out to see Todoroki walking in.

“Hey there.” He said softly.

“Hi.” My voice was hoarse. I coughed before sitting up. I sat back against the pillows. I stared at my hands.

“How are you feeling?” He sat down on the edge of the bed.

“Drained. Numb.” He nodded and grabbed my hand, rubbing small circles in my palm. I bit my lips, trying not to cry again.

“You can cry, it’s okay.” He encouraged me. I let out a choked breath.

“I don’t want to.” I whispered.

“I know, I know.” He comforted me. He moved in closer and polled me in. I sat my head on his shoulder. He hugged me and kept me grounded.

“Thank you.” I breathed in deep. I got the smell of clove, lavender, and cinnamon again. It soothed me ever more.

“They caught him.” He spoke up after a minute. I looked up at him. “I went to your house. The police were there and arrested him.” He explained. I nodded. “They also think you’re dead. He was bragging about how he got you both.”

“Ah.” I acknowledged. I looked down and sniffled. I saw him grabbing my hands.

“You need to let them know you’re alive.” He said softly. I nodded. I sighed before looking up at him.

“I will but I want to stay here for a little while. I’ll say I got lost when I ran into the woods.” I said with a watery smile. He cupped my cheek. “This is not how I planned today to go.”

“What do you mean?” He asked.

“I had planned… to confess my feelings for you.” I admitted. I laughed at myself. “I know it’s strange but I do. I am in love with you. I don’t know how but…” I was cut off by lips on mine. I paused before I realized what was happening. I kissed back immediately. I cupped the back of his neck and pulled him in closer. I curled my fingers into his hair.

“You don’t know how elated I am to hear that.” He whispered. My eyes widened but I smiled. “I’m sorry. You’re grieving and I kissed you. It’s selfish of me.”

“No, no, no.” I hushed him with a kiss. “I confessed to you first. It’s alright.” He smiled before getting up.

“Come on. You need some fresh air.” He pulled me up and towards the balcony. He opened the door and let me walk onto the balcony first. I leant against the railing and he stood next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist.

“I will come back here.” I said into the night. He looked down at me. “When I go back and take care of everything, I am going to come back here to be with you. If that’s okay with you.”

“I would never steer you away.” He said genuinely. I smiled and nuzzled my head under his chin. He began to run his fingers through my hair. “You will have me for eternity.”
