Edge of the Ocean | Dhani & Sibyla

slavesj‌: 

Sibyla stood for a moment, the waves lapping at her waist while the board floated in her grip beside her. Sunglasses firmly in place so she could see in the sun, she turned to Dhani and grinned. 
“It’s been a few years… But I’m sure I’ll remember what to do when we get out there” She hoped at least… Sibyla used to surf daily. It was hard work, and she was sure her legs would be suffering tomorrow, but she missed this and she wasn’t going to miss out on the opportunity to do something she loved. Because who knew when it would come up again..?
The brunette climbed on the board, sitting with one leg either side. “How far do you think it is to the nearest island?..” she asked absently, looking out at the horizon again. It must be far. She’d been out on James’ boat a few times. She wondered if it were possible to reach it. Not that she’d dare try. But someone might… 

Dhani did the same, straddling the board. It had been a few weeks since he’d gone surfing. He was sure not to take his opportunities for granted again and could have kicked himself, being claimed for so long and not thinking to ask Sibs when was the last time she’d been surfing. He could have fixed this for her ages ago.

The question of where the next island was was surprising and Dhani just stared at her for a moment. He hadn’t thought of other islands around in three years. Not since he’d first arrived.

“Oh… I don’t know.” He sat up a little more, his gaze moving from Sibyla to the horizon itself. But there was nothing out there but a few pelicans and waves. “I haven’t… thought of that in a long while.”

Sibyla sat on the board, the gentle waves rocking her as the sun was hot on her skin. She felt more at peace in that moment than she had in years. She pulled her long hair back and secured it out of her face, readying herself. 

She looked back at Dhani, a little surprised by his comment. “You haven’t?..” She spent all her time thinking of places other than here... Anywhere but here.

Keith let her take her time to answer his question, which…only then, he realized might have been a little intrusive. And perhaps not the most adequate either..but of course, in true Sibyla fashion, she still did give him an answer, his eyes taking in her expression whilst she spoke. “..well, if that is all you want..I may be able to do something about the latter, love.” All it would take was a rental and a couple of days journey. Nothing too troubling.. 
The vampire then looked at the mirror again, frowning at what he knew she meant to finish her thoughts with and nodded instead..choosing to dismiss it in favor of her taking his hand, and leading him further into the beautiful store.
And he did look, trying to find something worth stopping by, until at last..his eyes landed on something. “..what do you think?”

Keith spoke so casually that Sibyla almost thought she’d misheard him... She froze, not daring to ask him what he meant because she couldn’t bear to have misunderstood... He could take her home... In all her years here. Even with Simon becoming a Master, her very best friend... Even with Sam, who she had loved more deeply than anyone in her life... Neither of them had ever offered to take her home. To allow her to see her parents... But Keith, a man who she had come to care for a great deal, but had never come across as the type of man who would do this for anyone, nevermind for her. Her heart hurt with an ache to see her parents again after over four long, hard years. “R-really?..” Sibyla finally spoke in a whisper, blue eyes filled with tears. 

They continued through the store, Sibyla’s mind swimming as her hand remained tightly in his. 

She stopped as he did, gaze landing on the beautiful wooden unit. Her fingers gently traced the controls of the record player before she looked back to Keith with a smile, “It’s perfect”
