She spent the night packing up as much stuff as she could into a duffel bag and a small suitcase. She showered and closed all her curtains.

After he was done with work, he hovered a little. Usually, he’d be on his way to check up on Lyra or to stay with her for the morning. Now, he didn’t know what do to. He didn’t want to hunt and going home didn’t seem like an option.
She grabbed her keys and turned off all the lights in her place. She then left, locking the door.
He sighed and paced a few times before he started walking in the direction of Lyra’s apartment, trying to muster up an apology on his way.
She adjusted her bag and went down the 7 flights of stairs of her building.
He took his time, not in a rush. He would have stopped for flowers or chocolate but it was the middle of the night. He rounded the corner to her building.
She was just stepping out as he rounded the corner.
He frowned when he saw her. “You’re leaving?” He asked loudly.
“Why the fuck not?” She yelled. “Like you care. You sit around like you’re my fucking care taker then fuck off when you think I’m okay when I haven’t been okay my whole life!”
“I wasn’t going to leave until you snapped at me!” He responded. “I thought you might want to be alone for a while, excuse me for trying to be there for you!”
“Why be here for me? You’re not gaining anything from being with me!” She dropped her bag.
“So? Why’re you so bothered by that?!” He asked, stepping closer.
“Because I think I love you!” She shouted, then stopped. She stepped back, shaking her head. “I don’t-not like that.”
He stopped for a moment before he stalked over and pulled her into a kiss.
She closed her eyes and kissed him back fiercely, before pushing him away while crying. “Don’t.”
“I love you, too,” he blurted. “And I can’t just let you leave. I wouldn’t have spent so much time protecting you if I didn’t.”
She sniffled. “This is why I have to leave. You can’t love; I myself am incapable of loving anyone”,
“What’re you talking about? I love you,” he said.
“But you shouldn’t. It’s too dangerous.” She said
He carefully leaned his head against hers. “But I don’t.”
She closed her eyes and whined, leaning heavily against him.
“I love you,” he said again, closing his eyes.
She shook her head. “I’m not suppose to feel this way.”
“I’m so scared.” She admitted, biting her lip
“You don’t have to be,” he said softly. “I’m just a man,” he said quietly.
“But I’m not just a woman.” She said
He shrugged and kissed her, softly this time.
“Let’s go inside,” he said softly, picking up her bags and held his other hand out for her to take.
She stared at his hand for a few moments before taking it slowly.
He held her hand as he took her stuff with them. He set them down in her room.
She curled her hair behind her ears and sighed.
He looked over at her and went back over. “Everything’s going to be okay,” he said softly.
She just shrugged. “I can’t promise that.”
He shrugged, “it doesn’t matter.” He said and put his hand on her neck and stared into her eyes.
Her pupils dilated. She did't breathe. Just stared.
He frowned and looked her face over. “Or I can just leave,” he said quietly. “I don’t want to,” he added.
“Don’t say that word ever again.” She whispered. She didn’t blink.
He stared at her face and almost winced when her voice broke. He nodded, “alright, no more using that word. We’ll change it to... milkshake.” He joked. “I’m not going to milkshake.”
