[M] Unexpected Deadly Romance (Me and NoviDome)

[NoviDome]

"No growing up for her, hey? No first kiss, no prom, no university..."

[Sparkz]

She groaned before giggling. "Alright... Maybe a little growing up."

[NoviDome]

He grinned. "Just not too much."

[Sparkz]

"Exactly. And not too fast." She could hear the smile in his voice and she relaxed a little. She hummed softly as she settled once more into her pillow. She was, for now, content to hear him breathe. He was alive and safe... and smiling. Even if he was hundreds of miles away... he was okay.

[NoviDome]

Julian took a deep breath as their jokes came to an end. "I... I should probably go. We'll talk soon."

[Sparkz]

"Wait Julian..." The words were out before she realized it. She took a deep breath and looked at her phone. "Can you... just stay on the line for a little while longer? We don't have to talk. I just... I want to listen to you..." She blushed slightly. "I like knowing that you're there, even if you technically aren't..."

[NoviDome]

He was silent for a moment. "...Sure, if that's what you want... I-I can tell you about the city."

[Sparkz]

".... I'd like that..." She murmured. "If you don't feel like talking, I'm okay with silence. I can hear you breathing and that is enough as well..."

[NoviDome]

"I'd rather talk," he said softly. He found it hard to just sit there and be silent while his thoughts ran free. He cleared his throat and started telling her about the sights Angelica had shown him, and the stories she had told.

[Sparkz]

Alicia listened to his stories and hummed softly every once in a while to show that she was listening. She eventually fell asleep to the sound of his voice and was snoring softly.
