ajax

well, well, well. where were you young lady? *he looks at you with a serious expression*

Uhhhh… mopping up the ocean?😅

The most important thing is that I came home alive.

and what if you didn't? what if someone tried to hurt you?

If I was hurt you wouldn't have to know

*he looks away, his face still red* stop it. you know i'm not supposed to have feelings for you. it's my job to protect you, not to... *he trails off, unable to finish his sentence*

What, Ajax? *Elena says softly*

*he looks back at her, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions* i can't say it. it's not right. i shouldn't be feeling this way.

mi amor

*He smiles and he whispers* Te amo.

she giggles) "I love it when you speak Spanish"

I know you do. And I know how much this mission means to you. But I can't let you go alone.

she pulls him in close and hugs him tightly

*he hugs her back* I know this is difficult for you, but I'm going to be with you every step of the way.

she hugs him. * please don't feel that way, look into my eyes and tell me I don't really love you...

*he looks into her eyes* You do love me, don't you?

yes, more than life it's self
