it's worse enough that his feelings and proclaimed love are going unreciprocated, though he had expected as much. prepared himself to not receive anything back.[break][break]

There were no conceivable words that could efficiently describe all that spun in her head. From fleeting feelings of relief to bubbles of betrayal, to spasms of clawing fear, Matias had said just the right words to send her mind awry.
[break][break]

Worse of it all, instincts whispered to lean into it. To allow his fire to envelope her.
[break][break]

"Just," her voice balled up into a soft whisper. "Just give me one reason."
[break][break]

Not just because.
[break][break]

She wanted to know, more than anything else, why. Why her? Why not the golden oasis of sunshine waiting for him back home? If his feelings were so sure, then there had to be a reason. At least one.

the softness of her voice calls to him, drawing reasons from him that he otherwise would not have shared.[break][break]

"because you're...you. you care so much and give so much for so little in return. not just with me, but with your job. with hoenn."[break][break]

he pauses.[break][break]

Penelope once read somewhere -- maybe from a fortune cookie or book -- love is like war; easy to begin, hard to end.
[break][break]

Back then she scoffed at its implications. What a poetic way to say nothing, she had thought behind a smile and soft shake of her head. But the closer they drew to each other, the more she began to understand that cookie's warning.
[break][break]

"You do."
[break][break]

Penelope took a step forward, bridging the mile that stood between them. Her hand reached out to his. A gentle gesture earned through the raw honesty he'd shared. If only it had been like this from the beginning.
[break][break]

"Even if others don't see it, I do. How much you give, how much you pour into your trainings and work."
[break][break]

Heat warmed her cheeks and squeeze her chest. Whether she liked it or not, fire was catching.
[break][break]

Which left only one question: would she burn alone?

in that moment, with the few simple words she shares, he understands now that she sees him for him. for all that he does.[break][break]

his hand finds hers.[break][break]

"i do what i do because it's expected of me."[break][break]

he says softly.[break][break]

"but you make me want to be a better person. to try and give more than i already do."[break][break]

she would not burn alone today.[break][break]

Fingers intertwined.
[break][break]

Fates kept tethered, never to part.
[break][break]

Gazes interlocked, never to be broken.
[break][break]

Another step confirmed her judgment. Crimes were to be forgotten for the ecstasy of the moment. Discarded with her barking moralities and thoughts to run.
[break][break]

"Matias, I-"
[break][break]

Words tangle behind her lips. For every piece of Penelope's heart that already accepted his claim of her, another looked back toward the doubt that still lingered. The reminder that she was not alone, nor would she ever be alone.
[break][break]

Not within his heart. Not within his mind. Not even within his thoughts.
[break][break]

"I want to be with you," she hesitated, "but.."

her hesitance has no place here, not after all that he's shared with her—both genuine and crafted.[break][break]

"but what?"[break][break]

his other hand reaches up for her face, holding her with the gentleness that so starkly contrasts everything he is as a person.[break][break]

"be with me, penny."[break][break]

She looked at him with eyes that demanded the world and more.
[break][break]
"When I say that I want you, I mean all of you. Not just half."
[break][break]
Her words eluded to a familiar blonde. Her smile still bore a smile through her mind.
[break][break]
"i don't think i'll ever stop loving her," he'd once told her, "i hope you're okay with that."
[break][break]
Back then, when the intensity of their desires was all that brought them together, she thought her feelings on the matter were inconsequential. As long as he was with her physically, there would be no issue of where his mind would wander. But now, in light of his confession, things have changed. Penelope had changed.
[break][break]
"I don't want to be some replacement."

could he ever give her all of him? could he ever give that to anyone? considering all he has said so far and all that festers in his mind, the answer should have been obvious.[break][break]

"you aren't some replacement."[break][break]

she could never replace what he once had with Eva Morales but that doesn't matter as it's not what he's looking for. it's not what he wants.[break][break]

"i'll give you all of me. i promise."[break][break]

"Okay."
[break][break]

Even if it was a lie, fabricated to take on the guise of truth, she saw no other option than to accept it with a heavy breath and slow creeping smile.
[break][break]

"I believe you."
[break][break]

For all the travesties his words had carved into her memory, all she wanted was to fall into her arms and let the rest follow through. Logistics could be tomorrow's problem. Today was meant for relishing what was won, not all that would be lost.

music to his ears.[break][break]

relief floods him, replacing the hurt and pain he had once felt, and though it feels like a lifeline, it may very well prove to be his downfall later.[break][break]

with a massive weight off his shoulders, nothing holds back him from leaning in to kiss her.[break][break]

he claims what is his.[break][break]

There is no resistance to the way she answered his call. Leaning in, she returned his kiss with vigor, desperation clear in the way her hands immediately slid up to his face.
[break][break]

There was no other place she wished to be or person she wished to be with.
[break][break]

There, in the warmth of his embrace, poisons tricked themselves into temporary antidotes.

desperation reflects in him when he deepens the kiss. the gash on his leg feels like an afterthought to her. incomparible.[break][break]

he pulls away to whisper between kisses.[break][break]
