all moments spent with clarke were . . . educational . learning more about humanity in these few months than he did in heaven , watching the earth below for thousands of years . sometimes that thought would enter his mind . “ if only she knew “ about everything . all of it . pain entered his gut , another human feeling . one he believes human ’ s have come to call “ butterflies in their stomach ” . except his were wasps . he ’ d push the thought away , and instead smile . thinking about the positives , all the things she ’ s shown him and all the things they ’ ve done together . from the smallest , && most minuscule tasks . to big explorations , the following being the county fair , and other sorts of festivals . it was new , it was . . . fun.
she was different from most humans . not like the winchesters , far from it . those boys were raised into a life she should never be apart of . she ’ s strong , but he finds himself viewing her as a frail snowflake . he shouldn ’ t have let himself get close to her , even if he is human . she was apart of a different world than him . but imagine living in dark waters , to one - day suddenly see a bright ball of light . and it ’ s beautiful , && it draws you closer . he knows that ’ s what he feels with her . to admire humanity so up close , from an untainted perspective .
her smile was returned with one of his own , ( except . . . his may never be just as bright . instead it was subtle , but soft . ) ❛ . . . i can ’ t ? ❜ steve asks , confusion rising in his voice . a hint of bewilderment in his expression , but he doesn ’ t allow it to linger . she asks for his trust , and he ’ ll most certainly oblige . ❛ i suppose . . . physically , i can . but mentally ? oh . . . no , of course not . ❜ humor was hinted in his tone . progress was made on his “ joke - making ”
the man stood there awkwardly , oceanic eyes averting to look around them . music playing , and filling the atmosphere . eyes quickly fixated on her when she looked to him . staring blankly for a moment , he ’ s not sure how to react to her extended arm . it takes a second , but eventually he takes hold of her hand , agreeing in a deepened voice , ❛ alright , i ’ ll share this dance with you , clarke . i trust you . ❜
