I Loved You Once In Silence Novels & Stories

Kurt smiled at Liam and then knew what to do. They arrived at Sophia's apartment after a short drive and Kurt knocked on their door. Annika was surprised to see Kurt and wanted to close the door immediately as soon as she’d seen his face, but Kurt stopped it with his hand and foot. Because Kurt was stronger the door was forcefully opened. “What are you even doing here!?” Annika said furiously. “I wanted to say that I don’t even love Ericka! My heart belongs to only one woman… and her name is Annika…” Kurt said while he had his gaze locked at Annika.

“No,” “I see, you don’t want me to go with you guys because I’m a woman!” I angry stated. “Of course not,” he defended himself. “Then why? Is it because I’m weak? And I can’t protect myself?” “I love you,” My felt my body go tense as my eyes stayed locked at him. His blue eyes stayed locked at me without hesitation. “I love you Siren Weapon,”

She sat back down hard, arms crossed, and didn't say another word. I kept my head down and stared blankly at my book, pretending to be very interested in a page I wasn't actually reading. It wasn't my fault how the groups got picked, and it definitely wasn't my fault that Freya lost her favorite partner over it, but I could still feel her glare from across the room like it was burning a hole straight through me.

"It's yours. All of yours. Carry it forward. Pass it on. That's all I ask." The fire crackled. The stars wheeled overhead. And somewhere, in the spaces between worlds, the Silence sat alone in its eternal prison, powerless against the one force it could never understand. Love.

The omissions sat in the air between them, obvious and untouched. He did not probe. He only nodded once, slow, and refilled her mug with fresh ginger tea. “You will talk when the talking does not cost more than the silence,” he said. “I can wait. Okay?” He tickled her cheeks playfully and she smiled lightly. “Okay,”She said. The restraint in his voice undid something in her more effectively than any demand could have. She looked at the tattoos that climbed his forearm, at the careful stillness of his hands, and felt the old want rise again—sharper now that there was no tower, no staff corridor, no threat between them.

His hand found mine, fingers intertwining as if they had always belonged there. Outside, the sky turned from gold to pale blue. The light caught on his skin, softening the edges of everything. “I used to think love was supposed to be loud,” I said after a while. “Something that shook your whole world, something that must drag attention be felt in all ways loudly.i felt it's not something that's supposed to be quiet.i mean when two people talk about love it should be all attention dragged.” He smiled faintly. “And now?” “Now I think it’s this. Quiet. Steady. Like breathing.”

How awful. I have recorded the way back, we passed block after block without saying anything at all. He no longer walks behind my back, our steps are synchronized, we go side by side, walking together. I think I heard him humming a song and it reminded me of some doubt. “Do you like silence?” I ask, ready to kill that doubt. I don't give him my gaze, but I feel myself carrying the heaviness of his. “I love silence.” “How can you love silence and listen to heavy metal?”

And as she lay in the dark, the phone glowing in her hands, she whispered into the quiet: “I love you, Daniel.” But she didn’t send it. Because some loves don’t speak in words. They speak in silence. And hope.

I finally hear the silence I’d been longing for since I’d been thrown into his soft-walled prison. “Leo, if you hear me - I’m sorry. I love you.” I whisper into the silence as I look up towards the ceiling.
