Lex, I love you.
She’s heard it hundreds of times, but this sounds different. Why? Despite being entranced by the vision of Goldenrod in front of her, it draws her attention to him. Her head tilts ever so slightly, gaze flicking to the side, but not far enough to reach behind her where he stood, “I love you too, Killian,” she says softly, fighting the urge to turn around. She worries. What makes him sound so different? So sure, but conflicted? The worry only seeds deeper as he continues. There’s something beneath them he’s not saying. Although there’s a rise in anxiety, the words sooth her soul. She cherishes them, knowing that there’s truth.
He completes her. There was nothing but loss and emptiness when he was gone. It still hurts to know she’s the root of his misery. Yet despite everything she’s put him through, he still loves her. It’s mind-boggling. She can’t imagine why.
“Killian, I am yours, for-” and he steals the words right out of her mouth. It makes her smile, but did he doubt it? Was this some sort of weird intervention?
Lex turns when prompted but stops about halfway. There’s clear shock on her face when she sees Killian on one knee. It doesn’t take much brain power to deduce what is happening. She’s paralyzed by the storm of questions and emotions that rises in her mind.
Her? She’s the one he wants? There shouldn’t be doubt, but after everything she’s put him through she hesitates. Is she in his best interest? The list of her sins against him is too long: she left him, got him thrown in jail, made him chase her to Hoenn, got him involved in Rocket, plagued with nightmares in the pursuit of power for her protection. His life would be much easier without her.
Regardless of her doubts, she’s selfish. She needs him. He’s everything to her, her whole world. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do for him. Like he said, she loves him completely and with everything she is. Life without him isn’t worth living, she learned that the hard way.
Now, in front of her, is a scene she never dreamed she’d live to see. There’s no time to waste, their lives are too precious. There’s only one answer and has always been only one. Lex nods as tears stream down her cheeks, “Yes, of course, forever Killian.”
