Hearing the sigh, she knew she shouldn’t have mentioned it as it did put a slight downer on their moment together, on the wonderful morning they had after a good night’s sleep and enjoyable activities yesterday. Feeling a pang of guilt, she knew she should have just kept her mouth shut and thoughts and feelings to herself because now he would probably think on it like she had been. At least it only would have been one of them fretting over this and she was used to keeping her feelings to herself so she should have done it once more.
Even as she felt the kiss against her forehead and the arms wrapping around her tightly it didn’t offer any sort of comfort for her trouble, but she knew she was overthinking it all once more. Often she couldn’t turn her mind off from it unless she knew it was truly okay, but because there was a sense of danger an inkling towards not knowing the next plan it did set her on edge even if she denied it. There was a chance that this could be the last time she could hold Cas, touch him and enjoy the company because who knew what his father would do. They were being blissfully ignorant to it all, as if hiding from the problem would fix it and she wished it could. Iris wished that staying in the sunset veil together could be a permanent option, but it wasn’t and not knowing what they were going to do next unsettled her more than she liked to admit.
Closing her eyes as he nestled his head against hers, she tried to smile, tried to focus on the fact Cas was being positive to it all. That he’d fight for her so they could see each other and that he loved her, all nice things that she wished she could embrace but the negative was becoming more dominant and prone each day just waiting for the one thing to tip her over the edge. “You’re right, I should relax. I’m sorry.” Whispering out her words softly as she held him close, hand tracing gentle circle across his chest in hopes to soothe her own worries because she didn’t want to keep voicing them. “I love you too.” Smiling as she opened her eyes to look at him, trying so very hard to keep the negative side at bay.
“Let’s talk about something else, like breakfast. I don’t know about you, but I am pretty hungry.” Changing the subject as Iris began to focus on what they could have for breakfast knowing that it was just a buffer for her mind right now. Pretending everything was fine would be what she would do for now, Cas didn’t need to hear about her worries or problems because if she believed everything was fine then it would be even if for a short while. Faking it was easy enough, it scared her how natural it seemed to her and did make her wonder on past experiences but even thinking back on it was hazy as not everything had returned to her just yet. There was still parts missing of her memory which she hoped to get back.
