She was quiet, more quiet than I would've have known. A Vantas with a small voice? It almost seems impossible, and here we have the impossible.
Y/n Vantas has a voice so low, almost no troll with a high hemo-status can hear it. Her whispers are like the whine of insects and her loudest voice sounds like a lusus barely raising its voice.
I have a loud voice compared to hers. Grated chalkboards and raking concrete are the levels that my voice can go to, and I cringe every time I speak with her. But she laughs, she laughs loudly at what I say, so nothing else matters.
She can say anything she wants, but barely speaks.
I say whatever I want, except for five words.
"I am flushed for you."
How am I supposed to say that straight out? We're leaders in a rebellion where we might die any second. Tetrarch Y/n wouldn't bother to listen.

I was sleeping in the cot next to here's one day. The nocturnal part of trolls works easily for me if I have sleeping medication, but all of that is not for lowbloods. She was barely an inch away, her warm breath blowing onto my face and her hair covering her eyes.
I know it was creepy to stare at her, but she looked so at peace. I inched forward closer to her, chest to chest. Well almost, she is just a little bit shorter than me.

I kissed her lightly on the forehead, just a brush of the lips against her.
"I'm flushed for you," I whispered, something more quiet than I have ever heard.
She shifted slightly, pressing herself close to me. Her breath was on my neck and I felt her breathing pattern changed.
"Flushed for you too, Dammek."
I couldn't move for a second. I wrapped my arms around her, throw off my shades and grin.
She snuggled closer to me, absorbing my warmth.

In this rebellion, it will be difficult. We'll die if we get caught. We'll die if we expose this flushed quadrant.

But Gog damn it, if I'm not with her when we leave the living world, I've already been dead.

**So Sorry it's late, short, and too OOC. I've had stuff on my mind. I went to camp last week and took care of kids and had been shit-talked about, but that's life. I saw my best friend on Saturday, and it was the literal best day of my life. I'm seeing more friends later today.
I'm sorry I'm so out of it. It's been a trippy time for me. I'll start writing more once I'm feeling up to it. Bye.**
