Phantom Hollow [m] destroy the middle

no worries! hope theyre all well :)

His presence next to her felt condescending at his tone and words. Atka's stomach was twisting as he spoke, increasingly upset. She felt comforted for a moment as he pressed his nose into her, then frowning as his body heat was replaced by absence once more.

❝I can't lie to you when I don't know myself.❞ Atka finally responded as she watched him lie down.

❝But I know the companionship I have with her is different then what I feel for you, Dreven.❞

❝I'm not telling you how to feel, but you have nothing to be jealous of.❞

Atka sighed, swallowing back the nervousness in her throat. The silence of the forest reigned once more as she tried to choke out words.

❝What are we doing, Dreven.❞ She finally got out, stress edging her voice, repeating what he'd said.

Atka didn't know, he didn't either. They were tied in some way, as much as it could be unpleasant it was intoxicating and she found herself wanting more of it. She felt as if she could ask for no commitment, but she wanted too.

❝I don't know what I want from you but I can't stop thinking about you.❞ Atka knew, but she was too afraid of what he would say.

This was a heavy conversation. Perhaps they both felt something they couldn't admit to each other.
