Home Sweet Home [Veralia/Stella]

THE FIRE OF ENVY NEVER DIES

THE FLAME THAT BURNS THE BRIGHTEST

Veralia didn't break away from Stella's gaze, but it did cause her to blush softly as she chuckled.

"You are.....warm. It's hard to put into words, but you are sweet to most people you meet and have a light that can even make the darkest room feel full of life."

Nope. Admitting stuff like that caused Veralia's eyes to dart to the side out of a sense of embarrassment, but she coughed to herself, locked back into Stella's eyes, and continued.

"But you’re not a pushover, despite what your self-doubt might tell you. You have a will, a strength. You put yourself on the line for others... and in a world this miserable, you’re far too sweet for it."

Her expression softened, a flicker of admiration in her eyes as she waited for Stella's response.
