Room #217, Wednesday Evening

[walks_two_paths]

Savannah had heard Zoe's announcement and she wasn't really happy.

In fact, she was worried and annoyed as she remembered that Lana had never shown up yesterday.

That would be why she was sitting on the bed with her darker grimoire and notebooks. She was researching.

Okay, she might be trying to memorize darker spells in a hurry.

Just in case.

Johnny met the intensity of her gaze, not giving an inch. She wanted to get hot with him, well he would get hot right back. It was who he was and she knew that. Why she was testing him was beyond his thought process right now.

Her question had him frowning, giving her a look. "Aren't you?" he asked her instead of answering.

She wasn't trying to test him, she was just being who she was. Right now it was a volatile sorcerer-witch who was scared to death of something happening to the guy she loved.

She chewed on her lip. "I know what can happen if I..." she swallowed. "I know what would happen with me and what I would do if something hurt you, Johnny. I just... I never realized that there was that worry for you, too."

"What?" he asked incredulously and let go of her hand, standing up from the bed to pace back and forth across the room. "You doubt how much I love you?"

She looked stricken. "NO! Johnny... no..." She shook her head violently enough to give herself a headache. That hadn't been what she meant at all.

Her shoulders slumped and she shook he head again.

"No... I just... I didn't know you worried about losing control..."

She was saying this all wrong.

"Oh," he muttered. Well. That changed things a bit.

"I haven't. Yet. But that doesn't mean that I can't, Savannah. And if you were ever directly involved and something happened to you... fuck... I don't know what I would do."

"Do you get scared, too?" she asked softly.

She didn't want him angry with her, or to think she doubted him. But she was worried and scared and...

...if anything happened to him and the last thing they had was a fight...

That thought was just too much, and she ducked her head again as a tear slid down her cheek.

He glanced over at her just as that tear slid down her cheek. Dammit. He hadn't meant to upset her and he walked back over to stand before her where she was seated on the bed, and he reached out and cupped her chin gently in his hand, lifting her face so he could look down into her eyes. "Listen to me," he began softly. "I care so much for you that yes, I do get scared. I'm not immune, Savannah. What's going on now? It scares the hell out of me. My self-control has limits and I'm afraid of what I will do if that control is ever tested. Do you understand that?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah nodded. "Yeah, I do," she said softly. "I just didn't realize you got scared. You're always so determined and self-assured that sometimes I think there's nothing that scares you." She reached out for him. "When I'm not with you, I'll be careful, I promise." She doubted there was going to be very much of the not being with him time. "I won't go looking for trouble."

Relaxing at her words, he sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms. "I love you, god, I love you so much," he bent his head, nuzzling her neck. "I don't want you hurt..." he whispered.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah held onto him. "I love you and... gods... I don't want anything to hurt me... or you..." Her voice was soft. "So much..."

There was so much she wanted to say, but the words weren't coming out right.

"Nothing is going to happen to us, I promise," he muttered and he prayed that promise wasn't made in vain.

"You won't let it."
