A plume in the hadal zone

Jinshi looked rather sad at the comment, she could speculate that it was because there was no solution to the discomfort she was feeling, and like always he wanted to solve everything.

“Stop worrying so much, it’s natural.” She said, placing her head against his chest, to calm him down. Jinshi reciprocated the gesture by laying his atop of hers. The curves of their bodies fitting each other like puzzle pieces.

“I love you.” He hummed into the air. Maomao was startled but she didn’t dare to move, the last time she had heard those words was when Jinshi ‘proposed’ to her yet she hadn’t said it back.

Jinshi on the other hand didn’t seem angry at the silence, once so long ago he had begged the heavens for Maomao to reciprocate his feelings, and now he had her sitting on his lap and he was content with that.

Maomao moved her hand up as if she were trying to give him a hug, burying herself deeper into his body. The gesture made Jinshi quite happy but he could have never guessed the words that came out of his bride’s mouth at that moment.

“I love you.” She whispered just loud enough for him to hear it.
