"Adorable..."
The lights overhead went out, and with a gasp of surprise you step back, bumping into the stranger's chest. With a low chuckle he reached around, embracing you before you could pull away.
"Shh.. there now.. relax.. don't worry.. I would never hurt you.. the darkness is nothing to be afraid of..." His hold was firm but gentle and he smiled as he brushed his lips up against the nape of your neck. He pulled away enough to gently turn you around, gazing down at you with glowing blue eyes.
"...Beautiful..." He reached out to brush your bangs away from your eyes, and he smiled. You weren't sure how you knew, in the darkness, but he did... you were sure of it.
His hand moved lower, the tips of his fingers gently brushing against your face as if to engrave it into his memories. Eventually they brushed up against your lips before pausing.
"You're such a sweet thing, Myx...though I guess you don't need me to tell you that..." He laughed quietly, leaning in to rest his forehead against yours, eyes closing. "So kind and giving... I just couldn't keep myself away..."
He sighed lightly, "If only I could keep you for a little while longer..." His eyes opened again and he searched your face.
"... if I asked you... would you run away with me...?" He reached out to cup your face with both hands, searching your face for an answer. "Would you give up the light-- the sun.. to be with me...?"
Before you could answer he closed the gap, gently pressing his lips up against yours. "..." He pulled away slightly before laughing sadly, as he whispered,
"But I would never ask you to do that... I could never do that to you..."
He smiled sadly... and again, you seemed to know. With a final fleeting kiss, he pulled back.
When the lights returned, he was gone.
