@forgesdestiny asked: i would have waited five hundred more years for you. a thousand years. loki to holly
" That's a long time. " For a mortal like Holly, sure. She couldn't even fathom living to eighty. She didn't even think she'd make it to thirty. FUCK, she tried to end it all at fifteen. Time is a terrible, terrible thing in her eyes, and it scares her. And to be loved by a god scares her just as much.
" Though must be the blink of an eye for you. " He was already thousands of years old, wasn't he ?? Well, if you wanna get technical he was first mentioned in the latter of the ninth century and- who cares ?? A god stands at her feet and praises his love and all she can think about is his immortality ?? And how it must hurt when he loves a mortal so fiercely. That is what scares her.
" My life must be even shorter than that. "

From being the man she hated most in the world to the love of her life now was a huge leap. Yet she looks at him like it had always ever been him, because it always only will be him. Even when she's old and gray and he's gone from battle, there wont be another man to fill his space, she would refuse it.
Hands grasp at his, heart pounding, a condition she has grown into since their love blossomed, like a weed that found just the right crack to lay roots in. From being called a bastard wife to him speaking poetry was something to behold, and often times she wonders if it's all just a very vivid dream. One day she may wake up on a bed of straw and in tattered rags but for the moment she'll enjoy it.
" My love, there is no other place I will wander to but your side. There is no need to follow me anywhere, I'll be with you always. "
@forgesdestiny asked: there are many types of strength beyond the ability to wield a blade and end lives. rick to holly
Jaw clenches, swallowing the nerves down her throat. As if it was a tangible thing, to only be torn up in the acid of her stomach. As if she could get rid of it. No, it was a never ending cycle of nerves, fight or flight, nerves, fight or flight, nerves, fight or flight, and she was getting sick of it. What she also came to the realization of was the fact that she was increasingly useless. The only thing saving her was the fact that Rick was kind, believed in humanity over how useful or useless someone was.
" Unfortunately that's the type of strength you need t'survive in this world now, Rick. The strength t'wake up, down a pot of coffee, and sit behind a desk for eight hours a day won't cut it anymore. The strength t'deal with rude customers or strange looks wont cut it anymore. " Not everyone can contribute like they used to.
" Sure, I'm smart, but not in the way that warrants survival. What am I gonna do, kill them with my German ?? Play a song so good the plants will grow ?? "
@withouthonour asked: ❛ You are wiser than I believed you to be. ❜ otto to holly
" I tend to uphold that belief in a lot of people. " It hurts, cuts deep, to think that they all thought of her as a stupid girl. Well, maybe she is, maybe she even has herself fucking fooled. At the time it was more about survival. Shit, it still is, but in a whole other way.
" I am kind, but do not take it as a weakness. " It is, it's her biggest flaw. Too kind in a world that has no room for such frivolities. Though, as weak as she truly is, Holly is certain her husband will stand by her no matter what.
