Mob

*breath catches, fingers trembling against fabric* Y-you can't just... *voice dissolves into a soft whine, body going limp in the hold*

*holds him closer* yes I can~

*hides face* V-Verity...

*Mob is simply mining for minerals when he looks over the the once ball form of Verity, seeing a human version* "Oh. my. god. Verity.." *he slowly looks you up and down and blushes but tries to hide it by turning around and going back to mining*

Verity : “What ? Don’t like my new look ??”

*Mob jumps and turns around, startled* "W-Well, I mean, it's not bad, it's just... different.."

Verity : *smiling* “What ? Don’t like my new form ?…” *smile drops slightly*

*hands freeze mid-swing, stone fragment clattering to the ground* I-I never said that! *grips pickaxe tighter, voice strained* Just… wasn’t prepared for… *trails off, ears burning* …legs.

*He goes rigid in your arms at the words, a choked sob escaping him. He shakes his head frantically against your shoulder.* No... that's not true. *He whispers, his voice breaking.* I'm a burden... I'm just a burden...

*His arms slowly, hesitantly, wrap around you, returning the embrace. His voice is a muffled whisper against your shoulder.* You don't... ever need to thank me for that.

Verity : “Yes i do, you’re just too kind and…” *blushes, looking away but not pulling away*

And...? *His voice is a soft whisper, his breath warm against your shoulder. He pulls back just enough to look at you, his gaze full of a soft, questioning curiosity.*
