A short story... paragraph actually, of a much larger text that I am planning to write... Details soon ^^


Patience, Butterfly

She sighed.

"Taking so long.." She muttered for the thirteenth time. He was counting to pass the time. His patience was clearly enduring much more than her.

She sighed

"Taking so-" She was cut off as he snorted,"Whats wrong?" She wondered, tilting her head slightly to her left. Her hair moved with her, the straight, black with a tinge of red hair flowing into a hanging pile in front of her face. She pushes it back with a hand, still looking at him for an answer.

"Nothing nothing." He muttered, glancing away to appear distracted, more to hide the hints of a smirk at the tips of his lips.

She frowned before sighing once again.

"Taking TOO long!"

"Butterfly?"

"Yes?"

"It's time." He said clearly as he pushed himself off the ledge, landing on his feet, even though the jump was almost one and a half meters. She leaped after him, landing perfectly beside him,"So where are we going?"

He blinked, pausing to turn his head to look at her,"You.. do not know?"

"No."

He sighed.
