Only a handful of individual were able to detect pleasant emotion when it occasionally rose to soften the angles of the Lykoi Prince’s blonde face. As he approached the sad excuse for a home, silver, blush and darling blue peeked out to observe his approach. Ebony pupils hugged by sunset irises noted the change immediately, and the strict, horizontal line of his lips softened secretly at the unanticipated change. It was likely true that the silenced songbird had not taken proper care of her exterior in a similar degree as in the past, but it hadn’t been his place or wish to bring attention to shallow matters.
But now, he thought he saw a sign of continued progress. Itachi rarely smiled, and never laughed, though there was much joy behind the steady features of his masculine face, hidden beneath the slightest smile. He ought to feel nervous, but everything about China Rose Lykoi was strange and slightly wrong in a very right way. He didn’t know how he was supposed to feel around her. But the thought of the bird running away was one he couldn’t favour despite his attempts to obtain objectivity about the two of them. Once, when they had touched for the very first time, there had been fire. It was very different now, though that same fire still existed, deep inside where he suspected his heart could be.
They weren’t a true couple in any sense, but Itachi’s lone goal was to try to take care of her. She could run if she willed, but his opinions about this messy matter had been granted much time to develop over the last year. It had turned out he wasn’t untouchable as he had previously thought. It was time for him too to blossom in his own sense, if she remained here. Her continued existence would bring tremendous change. As he came closer to the entrance, pale fingers reached with the unchained desire to touch her freshly cut hair. A greeting and acknowledgement of promising change.
