Chapter Text
She gasped for air loudly. The face under the mask was anything else than what she expected. There was no monster. Just a young man, vulnerable and boyish. Something seemed weirdly familiar about his face, as if she’s seen it somewhere before, but she couldn’t remember. Then again, this wasn’t the right time to think about his face, no matter how handsome she found him. Well, maybe that was the problem. Because the moment he took the helmet off his head she stared to see him more like a human being and less like an evil creature.
So it didn’t surprise her that much when she pushed him away with force and looked into his mind to see spark of affection he had for her. Yes, there was a lot of confusion, chaos and fear in him, but that small amount of passion was enough to set her off track. The touch of his gloved hand sent shivers down her spine and made her head spin. For his physical proximity and light touches started something new in her naïve and pure heart. But when he leaned closer and gently kissed her, she felt the same hesitation in him. And they were both lost.
