I swear this could last forever. XD I could take this and do it SO many ways. But since it's Tara, I'll do the more...unexpected way.




She stared at him, the beating of his হৃদয় strong under her hand. She looked back down at the diary in her hand, head shaking slightly. Then she giggled. Her giggle turned into laughter; not cruel অথবা bitter, but instead being joyful noise.
Her laughter took him দ্বারা surprise and she pulled her hand free just long enough to সরানো the hair out of her face. She turned back to him with a smile. His blank stare had twisted to surprise. She laughed just a bit as she stood.
“You say আপনি read this?”
She held up the diary and saw the surprise turn to urgency.
“Y-yes but I assure আপনি it was not intentional!”
She set the book on the desk, back facing him, but he could hear the smile in her voice.
“You read it but আপনি think there are only ten reasons?”
“P-pardon?”
She faced him and the smile on her face had reached her eyes.
“You read it and think there are only ten reasons as to why I প্রণয় you?”
He blinked and stared at her. She came to stand infront of him, slipping her hand into his.
“You're asking me to forgive আপনি for পাঠ করা my প্রণয় for you. And আপনি know I would. But আপনি have nothing to be apologizing for.”
She placed a চুম্বন on his head before moving to sit at his side.
“I had never thought আপনি would come in when I was sleeping, not that I mind. I just didn't think of that possibility. But that note was never going to be a secret. I think everyone can see it on my face when you're around.”
A light blush spread across her cheeks as she ব্যক্ত that, but the smile never died from her eyes. She leaned অগ্রবর্তী and pressed her lips against his cheek, the skin dry but smooth. She saw the surprise die away and it was replaced দ্বারা understanding.
“And there are so many আরো reasons as to why I love. Much আরো than the ten আপনি saw. But we'll get back to that later. I have a প্রশ্ন for আপনি first.”
She paused and her eyes, though smiling, darkened in what could have been regret. Her concern confused him but he didn't interrupt her until she had spoken what was on her mind. He didn't want her thinking her words were nothing to him, even when he just wanted to keep her in his reach forever.
“I want to know why আপনি told me a few of the reasons আপনি প্রণয় me now. Not that I don't believe you. I do. What made আপনি say that? I'm flattered, but I want to know. Did আপনি think আপনি had to অথবা what? Did what I write make আপনি regret something or....convict you? Because that's the last thing I would ever want to do to you.”
She paused and let herself calm before finishing.
“I don't want আপনি to lie, so please tell me. Did my words hurt you?”
Her face giving way to the pain that she would feel had she made the words come out of him for any other reason besides his প্রণয় of her, for her. And the pain he saw there made him think back to the nights they were apart and he would look up to see the moon's lonely face in the black skies.
