If I drown tonight [/font] bring me back to life[/font][/color]  breathe your breath in methe only thing I still believe in is YOU[/center][/size][/font] Belle chewed absently on her nail, leaning over the balcony and watching all the passersby below. She had a cup of french vanilla coffee in her hand, but it was slowly going cold as she had somewhat forgotten it was in her hand. She was waiting for someone, though why she was watching for him was a mystery. He had a key to her apartment, and could certainly let himself in.
The cool spring air ruffled her hair, and she sighed, finally taking a drink from her coffee mug. They had plans to go out today- mainly to take a walk and enjoy the first nice day of spring- but Belle's thoughts were a million miles away. She was thinking about how nice it would be to be at the ocean, her feet in the sand, enjoying a drink under a palm tree. Like that would ever happen. The Honeydukes saleswitch was broke as broke could be. It wasn't like she could borrow the money, either. Her family was dead, and her boyfriend certainly wasn't rich. Boyfriend.
Right. Zephyr. Her mind came back to the present and she went back inside, leaving the balcony doors open to let the breeze play with her curtains. She dumped the barely touched coffee in the sink and went into her bedroom, changing out of the outfit she had previously decided on and into her favorite- most worn- pair of jeans and a gray Honeydukes shirt. She rummaged in the bottom of her wardrobe and found a flannel shirt that was Zephyr's- she had stolen it- and put that on as well. It made her look a little like a kid playing dress up, but it was soft and reminded her of her boyfriend of two years. She loved him. That was all that mattered.
Redressed, she went back to the balcony, ignoring the messy state of her apartment. She thought wryly that in the four years she had known Zeph, he had never seen her house in anything but immaculate condition. Well, that was about to change.

    Fresh air proved to be almost foreign to inhale for Zephyr, and he brushed irritably at his nose and let go of the door to Honeydukes to let it swing shut. A quick stop by work to check on things meant he was free for the rest of the day - one thing that could be said of keeping that side-job for so long was that he could get away with more than most. Dressed casually in jeans, a t-shirt and a flannel shirt over that, he blended in with those locals out and about in the village - for once.
Checking his pockets to be sure he had his keys with him, he pulled the ring out and checked - to make sure he had the other necessary keys. Once sure he'd be able to get into Belle's apartment without having to knock, something they were long past in their relationship, he continued on his way.
Four years it had been, and a two year relationship that he hadn't expected to last. During that time, they had been happy..but it had taken him quite a bit of time to get over certain reservations. The full moons were still very tense times and he had still refused to budge in not allowing her near him during the transformation, though with wolfsbane potion it wasn't as big of an issue. Once in wolf-form, he still had the proper mind and usually curled up with her wherever they happened to be - either at her apartment or his house.
The idea of hurting her in any way still terrified him, and it was a factor he always had on his mind while around her. He loved her too much to endanger her, and it had led them to numerous arguments. She wanted to do so much for him, that much hadn't changed at all. Finally resigned to it as part of who she was and how she treated others, he had now come to start trying to do little things for her as well. He couldn't buy expensive gifts, granted, but he put effort into finding something special - even if they were bargains.
Carrying one such gift with him, he checked once again to be sure it was in place and hidden before reaching the building in which her apartment was. A quick trip up the stairs took him to the front door, and he slipped the key into the lock easily. Pushing the door open as quietly as he could after the lock clicked, he stepped in and closed it behind him just as quietly. Glancing around out of mild curiosity, he took note of the unusual state of her living room - it was dissheveled, and for once not immaculate as she liked to keep it. This made him frown a bit, and he decided to stop being sneaky about his presence.
"I'm in the living room, beautiful." He called, knowing that would catch her attention. Slipping the keys back into his pocket, he chose to lean up against the back of the couch with arms folded on the back of it, knowing it wouldn't take her very long to come to him.

If I drown tonight [/font] bring me back to life[/font][/color] breathe your breath in methe only thing I still believe in is YOU[/center][/size][/font] Belle looked up when she heard Zeph's voice, and she got to her feet. She had been lost in thought again, but his voice snapped her out of it and she couldn't help but smile. Even when she was mad at him, just staring at him for a few moments made her smile. Granted, that usually made it hard to fight with him, but it was a burden she would happily bear.
"Hey." She said softly, walking back through the balcony doors and immediately went to his side, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face against his chest. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, feeling safe when she was with him. "I missed you.' She said quietly, her voice muffled. True, she had seen him just yesterday, and even the day before that, but it still seemed like too long.
Her grip around his waist tightened as if she was afraid to let go of him, but she tilted her head back to look up at him. She didn't think he realized just how much he meant to her- he was still the only person her gift didn't work on, and he was the only person she had ever let really see her. Not just the shy clean freak, but the playful, lonely young woman who would do anything for those around her. He had seen her stubborn, sick, angry, and he still accepted her. While he had always seemed amazed at her lack of fear over his "condition," but Belle thought the fact he remained with her was more miraculous than her steadfast loyalty to him.
"We still going for a walk?" She asked, watching him. She could stare at him for hours and not get bored. She finally let her arms drop so he could move freely, and began rolling up the sleeves of the flannel shirt she had stolen. Even after she rolled it, it still fell over her hands, but not as badly as before.
She turned away from him and went in search of her shoes, not exactly sure where they had ended up in the mess. They usually were by the door, but after rummaging around there, they didn't show up. She paused, looking around, and remembered where she had put them. Her bathroom. She went into the bedroom and came back, carrying her sandals, which she dropped on the floor and slid her feet into them. She pulled the flannel shirt tighter around her and looked back at him. Her eyes were dark and far away, lost on some train of thought only she was privy to.

Belle's quick appearance brought a smile to Zephyr's features, and he easily wrapped his arms around her when she was close enough. She also beat him to that gesture, though while her head was against his chest, he lightly kissed the crown of it. "I missed you too." He replied quietly, saying it without qualm. Spending so much time around her for the past four years had made him grow accustomed to company where it had been denied for so long - so it was pretty intoxicating.
When her grip tightened, he loosened his own and watched her, trying to gauge the emotions on her face. That was difficult to do at even the best of times, so he wasn't able to figure out why she might have done it. "Unless there's something else you want to do, we can still do that." He offered it as if to make it clear that he'd do whatever she wanted - and that was what he usually did, to boot. "You know I'm usually up for anything."
He released her when she let her arms fall, then waited as she went looking for her shoes. Falling back on the habit of watching her every move, it was then that he noticed his shirt - and it brought another smile. He had been starting to wonder what had happened to it, and now it was one less mystery to have to think over.

"No, a walk sounds really good. I'm tired of being cooped up in the house." She put her wand in her pocket and turned off the lights, returning to his side and taking his hand. She gave him a lopsided smile when she noticed he was smiling over her attire. "Did you want it back?" She asked, though it was clear she wanted to keep it. If he wanted it back, she'd just take another article of his clothing. She didn't feel quite so lonely when he wasn't there when she she has something that smelled like him.

"Alright, I just wanted to be sure before we left." Twining their fingers after she took his hand, Zephyr nearly laughed at her question. "No, no, I was just starting to wonder what had happened to that one. Last I remember was leaving it over here a couple months ago. Decided to comandeer it, did we?" He gave her a questioning look, lightening it a little with an amused smirk. He didn't grudge her stealing his clothes, as it wasn't the first time - he also knew that it wouldn't be the last.

If I drown tonight [/font] bring me back to life[/font][/color] breathe your breath in methe only thing I still believe in is YOU[/center][/size][/font] Belle smiled, raising a brow at him. "Let's see... it disappeared here months ago, and you wonder what could have possibly happened to it.... I wonder?" She laughed, leaned her head against his arm. For the first time in days, the anxiety she had been feeling was relieved, all because she was with him.
"It's soft, and it smells like you.' She explained, the fingers of her free hand absently stroking the sleeve opening. "How was your day?" She asked quietly, leading the way from her apartment and towards the main streets. There was something she needed to ask him, but the words wouldn't come to her mouth. Not yet. Better to play the coward, as she was always so good at doing.
