[F11-PP] By Your Side (Telrenya)

[Jomei 0]

As the corners of Telrenya’s eyes began to fill with moisture, Jomei’s eyes followed the trail of tears that fell down her rosy cheeks, before dripping from her chin to the blue blue sheet between them. His gaze shifted back up to meet hers as her hand raised to her face, wiping away the tears with the back of her hand, just to be replaced with fresh ones following the same trails down her cheeks. A look of concern replaced the warm smile on Jomei’s face, before Telrenya’s shocked expression spawned a small, shy smile. Chocolate eyes, still being drowned in pools of tears, sparked in the light of his room above them, a small giggle causing her shoulders to shudder with a tiny joy. The smile that stretched the corners of the mouth only grew wider as she told Jomei that what he had told her made her very happy. His own smile returned to his lips as he looked back into her eyes, realizing that he had not upset her in any way. Telrenya went on to tell Jomei that she felt the same way, wishing to spend just as much time with the man after they had made their escape from this digital world. Jomei’s own cheeks had turned pink as his own smile widened with a gentle nod. “I-I’d like that.” His eyes trailed down to her hand that had taken a hold of his, his loving gaze soon shifting back up to Telrenya’s. “It shouldn’t be too hard for us..To find eachother. Since we both live in Japan right now.” he laughed, his voice full of hope, “Who knows.. Maybe we even ended up in the same hospital… And one day I would love to take you with me to see my home town.. Back in Ireland. I think you would really love it there.” Jomei’s mind raced with all of the things he wanted to show Telrenya about his real life, things that words could not describe. However, it was in these thoughts that exhaustion had hit Jomei once again, causing a yawn to rise up from inside. His free hand rose up from the bed, his open palm covering his wide open mouth as the yawn passed his lips. “We should get some rest.” he said as he let his hand fall to his side again, “That raid really took a toll on me.” he said as he lifted his free hand back up to his shoulders, feeling just as stiff as the rest of his muscles.

The tears fell for only a minute or two, and the yawn that escaped Jomei promptly infected her, causing Telrenya to follow suit and pull her own hand back to hover over her mouth. She carefully withdrew the other from the Irishman's hold, wiping her cheeks dry while she gave a small nod in agreeance with his suggestion of rest. With her brain having automatically balanced out the wave of intense emotion that had hit her, she was lucky not to have the lingering fuzziness or dull headache that often paired with tears brought about by sorrow.

The smile that returned to her features was still bright and warm, albeit tired. She pressed her open palms against the mattress on either side of her, moving her body to the far side of the bed and pulling the sheets over the bottom half of her frame. Telrenya allowed her shoulders to fall back into the comfortable bed, blonde hair flowing over the surface of one of the pillows. Her eyes closed for a few moments and she wore a content smile as she spoke up with a few soft words. "Yeah... Sleep sounds nice." A small half-chuckle escaped her before she breathed out a content sigh. Her eyes opened again, meeting the ceiling above them before she turned on her shoulder and they shifted over to the orange-haired man beside her. The lingering smile grew a bit wider if their eyes would meet, and she found a new sense of safety and comfort simply laying beside Jomei. It didn't take long for the lack of rest during the previous night to catch up to her, only a few short minutes passing before Telrenya was overtaken by sleep.

Jomei watched as Telrenya pushed herself further onto his bed, the girl's feet picking up off of the ground and swinging onto the mattress and under the blanket. The smile on his lips only grew softer and warmer, the same fluttering feeling in his stomach neither ceasing or faltering, still feeling that burning love that he had for the woman that was now silently falling asleep in his bed. Turning his torso, picking one of his knees up onto the bed in front of him, Jomei placed a soft hand on Telrenya's bare shoulder, his fingers giving the woman a gently squeeze as his thumb caressed her shoulder blade. "Goodnight, Estelle." he said, his voice a soft whisper that she would still be able to hear. His body leaned forward, his head hovering over the girl for a moment, his ginger hair falling just above her face only for a mere second, before lowering down and placing his lips upon her cheek.

After returning to a sitting position, Jomei turned to the light behind his bed, tapping the air above it so he was prompted to turn the fixture off. Turning off the light did not do much to darken the room, the sun still bathing the city in its light. Standing from the bed, the man pulled the curtain shut over the balcony door, doing a bit more to bring darkness to the room. Returning to the bed, the man then lifted the sheet so he could place his body under the blanket. With a small sigh showing comfort, Jomei looked to his side to see that Telrenya had quickly fallen asleep. With a smile on his face, Jomei turned onto his shoulder and moved his body closer to her. His hand shifted in the bed, finding the dainty of hand that belonged to Telrenya. Without disturbing the girl, he slid his hand under hers, letting her open palm and fingers rest atop his. Jomei's olive eyes slowly fell shut, the smile on his face remaining as he quickly drifted into slumber.
