Can’t Stray Again

Discarding his trails of unwanted thoughts, he was with Azura along with Delvin who was eyeing his friend closely.

Waiting for her to wake up so he could redeem his mistake of not hugging her when she yearned for it.

'I just had to wrap my arms around her, how hard this one gesture has become for me. What have I done?' 

Thinking out of guilt, he was staring at his hands, gathering his courage and not repeating it as the sound of a groan reached him.

"Argh…" 

"Azura!" 

"Zephyr?" 

Blinking, she noticed him sitting beside her, scanning her and without a warning, he held her shoulders, stiffening her.

 "Oh my Lady, you have me worried-sick,"

She was taken aback when he pulled her closer, whispering weakly in her ears. 

"I am sorry, I am so sorry for hurting you, Azura, I won't do it again, I swear I won't." 

"Did you.. Find me?" She whispered, placing her hand over his heart, observing the room.
