"Xell..." She began softly. "I promised no secrets between us. It's time. Time to make good on what I told you."
Xell swallowed hard as his gaze remained fixed on his master. What could she be thinking about? How would she react to the emotions he was likely transmitting unintentionally? Was it even unintentional? Was he secretly hoping she'd notice without him saying anything, just to make things easier on him?
The boy's heart raced uncontrollably. Here it comes. The lecture about being a child who can't control his emotions. They had gone over this once before, and now he was sure he had ruined everything. He'd be masterless again. Alone. Just like before.
Xell moved to speak, but was interrupted by something he never expected to hear:
"I don't want to die without you knowing the way I feel. I care for you in more than just a master's way. It took time, but I grew to feel something more for you. No more secrets..."
"Sherasti..." How could he react to this? He wanted to comfort her and tell her not to speak of death, that he would hear nothing of it. But he had never come face-to-face with his own mortality the way she had and didn't want to make light of her emotions. Instead he wanted to be there for her. And then all of his notions were shattered by two words:
"Kiss me."
Xell's heart made a motion that he hadn't experienced before. It swelled with happiness, then it sank instantly as he realized what was just asked of him. Nothing good could come from this. And even as he thought about it he felt himself nearing her at a pace she likely hadn't anticipated.
"Ple-." As his crimson skinned master attempted to finish speaking Xell had already succumbed to his baser urges and leaned over her to press his lips against her own. He was new to this, but it came naturally. Almost too naturally infact as any thought for her physical condition faded while his arms moved to shorten the distance between them. His bottom lip glided across her own as he tilted his head to gather more of the full, soft flesh that formed at her mouth. His right hand reached to her shoulder, his left pulled her closer in an embrace before reaching up to her chin where his right hand soon followed. And it was at this point he finally understood the difficulty that came from maintaining one's emotions.
Once their kiss began getting more audible and... feral, Xell stopped and pulled back an inch from her face and... stared. Even with Master Orren's insistance that the boy avoided watching too many holo-films there were often times when he actually did see things that his young and impressionable mind shouldn't have. And this moment in he and his master's life started to look eerily like one of those scenes. His eyes darted back and forth as he tried to guage any reaction from her.
"...sorry." he whispered breathlessly.
