Welcome to Gaia! ::

His gentle touch made her frail skin shiver slightly as she enjoyed his gentle touch. Looking up into Eriks glowing eyes she noticed how serious he looked and maybe even questioning about this which made her mentally get ready for him to say no. If he said no that would be the end of it, she would just go back to her old ways and it would be like this never happen. If this was real, she would not be able to ever go back to her old life as her heart and soul wouldn't be able to handle going back to the dark that she lived in for so long. She had been in a room of darkness her whole life and now Erik had opened the door for her but she wouldn't go threw it unless Erik pulled her through it and shut the door behind him. When Erik confirmed that this was real, Lily's heart stopped for a moment before feeling relief.

He wanted to be with her, just as she wanted to be with him and that he wouldn't leave unless fate pulled them apart which she hoped that did not happen as it seemed that was all her fate was. Feeling his loving kiss on her forehead she closed her eyes as she let a few tears roll down her cheek before opening her eyes again to see Eriks face looking down at her. He promised her once more before kissing her now yet salty cheek do to her tears. Her frail skin shivered once more as his hand was still on her neck and now his sweet loving lips on her cheek. " This is real." She whispered softly as a soft smile started to bloom on her face.

For the first time in a long time she had someone to care for that cared for her back. She was no longer alone in this world that seemed dark to her. Thanks to Erik, Lily found something to live for, someone to live for. As the breeze shifted Lily looked up at the man before her who was whipping away the tears that trailed down her cheek. She noticed his beautiful blue eyes that where glowing brighter then ever now with the moonlight shinning on them. She looked at them at awe and shook her head at his comment. " I think the moonlight is a better look on you." She stated before feeling Erik touching her hair once more. She loved the feeling of him touching her hair, even if he were to simple play with it she still loved the feeling. A light blush came onto her face as she saw his charming smirk before he kissed her hair.

As Erik began to lead her back onto the path, Lily took Eriks hand and kept close to the man. Not daring to be apart from him in any way until she was home. " I guess you will be stalking me a lot more now huh?" She asked jokingly, looking up at him for a moment before looking straight ahead again. She remembered that tomorrow after work she promised him that she would dance for him which made her think of a spot that she would dance for him.

" I guess so." She said with a smile, thinking that having someone to protect her was something knew to her. All this time she was the only one who could protect herself but now she had someone. Lily felt Erik lifting up her hand, making her watch there hands raise up and Erik placing his soft lips on her frail artistic hands. Once he dropped their hands, her grip around his hand got slightly tighter but not by much.

When Erik admitted that he was surprised that he caught her attention she shook her head slightly. " What do you mean you are surprised? I am sure you have had girls fall to your feet before you walked into the cafe." She stated as she looked up the night sky one more. " If anything I should be the one surprised that you still want to hang around with me." She looked back at Erik and gave him another smile before looking straight ahead again, seeing that they were not far from Lily place. Erik then pulled something out of his pocket to see it was his phone. " You... Want my number?" She asked a little surprised before she nodded her head slowly and added her number into his phone. "H-Here."

So she was right, she wasn't his first like he was with her. She figured as much but she couldn't help but feel a little down knowing he had been with other girls. She was not to sure how to take the info he had given her but there was nothing she could do about it as it was all in the past. " Well... As you know by now I am not a normal girl..." She said with a slight frown, as if she was talking down on herself before she smiled again. " I mean I am letting a stalker walk me home after all." Lily stated and laughed lightly.

As the two walked down the street, the frail girl noticed her apartment was coming into view which meant that they would have to part soon. She didn't want this night to end because she was scared that if she went to bed and woke up to find that this would all be a dream. Lily took a glance up at Erik before looking at their fingers that where intwined together. She could feel his gentle grip around her hands and his warmth. She knew this couldn't be a dream as everything felt real. Lily snapped out of her thought when Erik spoke once more, making her look up at him. " So did I." She said with a soft smile. Looking ahead of them, they were now in front of Lilys apartment. Putting her free hand into her purse, she started to dig threw it to find her keys. " Well... This is it." She pulled out her keys and turned to Erik with a light blush on her face. "Do... You want to still want to see me dance tomorrow?"

" A-Amazing is a strong word... But thank you." Lily stated quietly as she felt his hand tighten around hers. Smiling softly at the feeling of his hand tighten around hers she too held Eriks hand a little tighter.

Pulling out her keys from her purse she turned to look up at Erik who confirmed that he wanted to see Lily dance tomorrow but it would have to before midnight. " Thats alright, I get off work at nine so we will have some time before you have to work." It was odd that Erik had to work at midnight in a way but maybe he had to follow someone who was on the move at midnight? She was not really sure how he worked so she just left it be as she did not want to bother him about it. His work did have to do with other peoples lives and not hers so she felt she didn't have the right to ask about it. " At the cafe when I am done work for you?" The young woman asked before she felt Eriks loving hand on her cheek once more which made her let out a light, soft sigh before placing her hand with the keys lightly on top of his hand.

The young woman smiled more when Erik said it was a date. She noticed him leaning in and she closed her eyes as she could feel his soft lips touch hers. With her hand still on his by her cheek and the other holding onto his other hand, her grip got slightly tighter when he pulled away as if she was saying she didn't want him to pull away from her. Though their time together was coming to a end and she needed to get some rest before going to work. " See you tomorrow." She said softly as she steeped back a little before turning around and walking up to the apartment buildings door. She unlocked the door and glanced back at Erik, giving him a loving smile and a small wave. " Night Erik." She said in almost a whisper before walking into the building.

Making her way up to her apartment she had a smile stamped on her face as she felt her body filled with a feeling she had been longing for for a long time. unlocking her apartment she went straight to the bathroom to have a shower before going to bed when she noticed her dirty clothes from when she fell in the park. A soft sigh left her lips before a light laugh as she thought of the night she had just had, making her brush her lips lightly with her fingers. Taking a quick shower, Lily changed into her sleep wear and turned on all her night lights before turning off all other lights and climbed into bed. That night Lily slept happily with a big smile on her face.

The next day Lily woke up to the sound of her alarm on her phone to remind her to take her medication. Slowly rolling out of bed, the frail girl stumbled to her bathroom and took he medication before getting ready for the day ahead of her. She got ready for work and backed a small bag that had her ballet shoes and some clothes to change into that she could dance into. Once she was ready she made her way to the cafe and started her shift, looking at the clock ever chance she could to see if it was any closer till her shift was over.

it was a normal day at the cafe for the most part, it was busy enough threw out the day and like always Lily did her best and had a smile on her face. Though today her smile seemed to have more life in her, just her in general seemed to have more life in her. Lily went to go on her break and saw that she had a text from someone and smiled to see that it was from Erik. She could feel her cheeks warming up slightly from the light blush that was blooming onto her frail skin. She tapped her phone lightly on her chin as she thought of what to say back. Hello ^^ Work is fine, though it seems like my shift will never end... I think I will pass on the breaking the table today but thanks for the offer. See you later on tonight. Once the message was sent, Lily put her phone away and got back to work.

Soon enough it was closing time and Lily hurried to get everything done so she could wait outside for Erik as she did not want to keep him waiting. As her boss said after the night Erik broke the table, she had a male coworker who helped close with her. He was a high schooler, on his last year of high school who worked at the cafe part time and had only been working at the cafe for a month so he didn't really know Lily all that well as. Once the cafe was all cleaned up and ready for closing Lily stood outside and waited for Erik along with the high schooler. " You can go home, I am just waiting for someone." Lily said to the boy who stood beside her. " The boss said I couldn't leave you alone near or in the shop after what happened last time. If I left you alone I would be fired..." The boy huffed, crossing his arms. "S-Sorry..."

The two coworkers stood outside the cafe quietly as they waited for Erik to come. " Looks like its going to be a full moon tonight." The boy pointed out, nodding his head a little up as to look at the sky. Lily glanced up and took note that it would be a full moon and smiled before turning back to her coworker. " This means that the night wont be so dark." Lily enjoyed full moon nights because it meant that it wasn't as dark as the other nights of the month. She didn't even notice Erik walking up towards them until she felt a arm wrap around her. Glancing up to only see that smirk that made her heart skip a beat and have that smirk kiss her forehead. A light blush started to form on the young females face. " H-Hi." She said in a shy whisper.

The boy watched the two quietly for a moment before he shrugged at Erik for thanking him for watching over Lily. " Its not like I had a choice." He slightly mumbled, fixing his glasses. " Lily you never told me your boyfriend was the guy who was the one who broke the table. Anyways... Don't be a klutz on your little date like you have been all day. Later..." And with that, The tall, lanky red haired highschooler walked off. What he meant by Lily being a klutz all day was because she was so focused on wanting to be done with work and thinking about Erik she may of tripped over her own feet a couple of times or spilled things behind the counter. Blushing a bit more, Lily gripped onto her bag and started to turn the way she wanted to walk. "L-Lets get going."
