The truth of love in darkness

I soon wake up, seeing my mane was wrapped in a towel and a blanket covered me. As the the fireplace added warmth to my blanket, I look around, still puzzled from before my eyes forced shut. “What in tarnation?” Sombra then comes into sight, levitating some papers, and he gets a good glimpse of me being awake, then turned his head to face me giving a look that gave me shivers down my spine.

He then continued to walk over to his desk. “Good morning, Miss Songwriter... did you sleep well?” That feeling came back… he soon glared at me, and gave a smile, a gentle one, too. I tried to ignore what has been going on. So many questions popped up in my head. I look at him, and dared to question him with the same subject as before. “Why aren't you giving me punishment? Why are you so… gentle around me? You never was like this, and I want to know.”

A sudden notice came to me; I snapped at him for an answer. As he set his papers down, my ears lower, and the feeling of fear and regret came back. He walks over to me, and my heart starts pounding. ‘Why did i do that?!’ I started to panic severely when he sat next to me, thinking I was going to get hurt. Suddenly, he wraps his arm around me and pulled me close, as he did I lowered my head, like if i were to be guilty. He gave me a concerned look. Then, he takes his hoof under my chin and gently lifts my head up. I look into his eyes, and noticed he showed he was worried about me.

I started to calm down, but I still didn't understand why he is like this. But, an answer was soon to come. He then clears his throat after being sure he has my attention, and removes his hoof from my chin. “I feel as if your special. Not with only power but.. your personality” he says, with a smile so gentle that I never thought I would ever see on his face. ‘MY personality?’ Since when did he care about my personality? I thought he only liked to see my pain and fear, I thought wrong apparently. Then, off guard he had me lay down, and his his lap. I tried getting up, but he used his magic to keep me held down. “Relax, you've been through alot and need to rest up.. you’re too weak to stress out any longer. Besides, think of this as… a special permission”

My heart skips a beat. “S-special.. permission?” He nods. As I again look away, I blushed slightly. Was I.. falling in love? One thought for this moment was for certain.

I was scared.
