Isn't it a good thing that love is blind? It allows others to look past each other's flaws and actually look deep down inside the person they feel the most connected to? What would happen if love wasn't truly blind. Would love even exist between two souls? Would people be incapable of looking past one another's flaws? Would people constantly be incapable of allowing themselves to fully commit to another without possibly thinking 'what if the right one is still out there?' Would it have been possible if two broken souls, each one broken under different circumstances, ever have the chance to find one another? It is often in humanity that everyone always thinks that what they have now, isn't enough, that they always want more, they want the best one out there, without thinking that perhaps the one they have now is already the best for them. Love is blind and it should be, because if it wasn't, then perhaps love would have never existed in the first place. They were lucky, the two of them. After what Fate had done to them, each one carrying the pain and tribulations of the past, they were capable of creating some form of an attachment with one another. It seemed quite impossible for such a thing. Looking at Tobias alone on the outside, would anyone have been capable of looking past his antics and his actions to think that he was capable of loving another, much less, creating a sense of connection with another? As for Raven after being terribly abused by those that should have loved and accepted her in the first place - wouldn't it seem equally impossible for the girl to trust others, let alone, understand what love was and in that sense express it? The bond they had was unique, but it fit them perfectly. They discovered and unlocked a part of themselves that seemed nearly impossible to be found. They found their missing half in one another, both of them making up for what the other lacked.

A soft chuckle was released when she heard her companion speak about long the hidden food would remain. It was wise of him to suggest to her this sort of trick to perform on his other half. If it was possible for her to try and get more sleep by hiding his food on a nightly basis then she would give it a chance. Although she was sure it wouldn't last, the boy would be far more interested in her and the food than the fights within the ring...unless she could do it in such a covertly way that he wouldn't notice. Then again, when did he never catch on to what others were doing, he was an observant creature and she doubted she could put anything past him. Though she would try, for his sake she would. She found his soft smile quite charming on his handsome face and evenly so his deep baritone voice that caused her heart to flutter for a moment. His admittance that he liked her gentle touch reassured her that this particular technique was quite useful on the two of them and she would enact it when the time was right. Raven wished she did not feel uneasy when those she trusted would touch her. She understood what his other side wished from her when he became bold with his actions and although she wished she could permit him such a reward she was still unable to. It was an internal struggle she did not want to have and she constantly tried to push herself further, wanting what he wanted as well. However, for her there were steps she had to cautiously take to allow the two of them to go further and no matter how slow they went she always felt uneasy, and deep down she wished she didn't. She trusted her deviant companion, she knew very well he would never harm her, she knew that but she could not bring herself to accept it. It haunted her to no end and brought her much doubt, fearing that one day he would get frustrated and tired of her - and one day leave her. She couldn't help, but lean into him as his lips brushed slowly from her jaw down to her neck finding this gentle touch to throw away all the doubt she felt. The feeling of his teeth putting pressure into her skin, reclaiming her as his, brought a sense of comfort to the girl, silently knowing her place was still at his side. His comment about why she enjoyed this particular action allowed her cheeks to brighten a cheery red. Once she settled herself in his lap she rolled her eyes allowing an embarrassed giggle to sync with his own chuckle. Playfully she brought her hand up to gently slap his cheek in a teasing fashion as her voice gently slipped out in such a sardonic manner.

"Boyfriend yes...sexy that is debatable."

It was extremely rare for the werewolf to be flirtatious much less playful. It was new to her, it was unusual, and she was willing to explore it a little more. She had never used the word 'sexy' before as a thought or uttered it. However, she did always think he was quite handsome in more ways than one. She wondered at times, when he would smile his familiar boyish grin, or wiggle his eyebrows at her, why he would continue to stay with her. She had no idea what she had done to deserve someone like him, but she was grateful every day. He was her best friend, her companion, and she loved him dearly - both of them. It was so very rare for him to be this still as she leaned into him, enjoying the warmth, enjoying the close proximity between the two, wishing to be even closer, be it physically or mentally. Quietly she listened to him speak and answer her own question, her own face frowning some. She assumed he was afraid of the water, because something had caused it, but she had no idea what the reason behind it would be. That he was stuck when a building fell caused her mind to wander as she attempted to connect the dots. Though all such thoughts were interrupted when he speaks once more. Hearing her name in his rich voice caused her to look up at him, a small smile appearing when he speaks that she is loved. She feels his love as she looks into his beautiful golden eyes, as his form presses into her own as he reaches his lips to her own. The moment he finally admits his feelings for her she cannot help, but lean her head upwards to allow the two to kiss once more. It was gentle and yet vulnerable all at once. Her arm that was already around his waist would tighten as her other arm came up to wrap around him, pulling herself into him like a hug. Briefly she would remove her lips from his own, extending her neck to gently press her lips on his forehead, leaving a kiss for his other half that remained deep within the caverns of his own mind, blue-grey eyes looking at his own for a moment as the shone with a rare shine. For so long she wondered what it was like to be loved or if she would ever know it in the first place. Their love started small and yet it bloomed and grew between the two, growing stronger each day and overcoming any obstacles in their way. Love was indeed blind and it was god, because it gave them a chance to know that they too could be loved by another. Pink lips pulled upwards in a grin as one hand moves to gently brush some of his dark hair out of his eyes, as she whispered gently declaring her own love for him.

"I love you too Tobias. I love both of you."

For a moment she would grow silent as she looked into his own golden gaze, hoping perhaps his other half was watching, hoping that he would understand somehow. She accepted them both as they were, loved them both, and she would not want it to any different. Slowly she would move her arm away from him, allowing her hand to gently take his own, and rub her thumb around it for a moment, as her mind returned to what he said about his fear from water. She had an idea, a theory, and she wondered if perhaps it could help him, both of them.

"Tobias, what you said earlier about the building falling? What do you remember? What was going on? If I...if I showed you that you could still breathe in water would that help you at all? Would you want to try?"
