- Eudoria | 'Bruises' (SFW)

I personally love Eudoria, the mommy issues just peak through when I see her.

Enola does not live with her mother anymore, let's just say she's older in this universe, Oke?

Let's get into it!

SMACK!

My back hit the ground, hard. The air in my lungs let themselves out all at once, causing me to gasp for air seconds later. For a few weeks now I've been training with Eudoria, mostly in the karate studio, but also in her garden whenever the studio was occupied.

It's very painful sometimes, even though we try to let the opponent down slowly. The bruises don't bother me anymore, but in the beginning they really troubled me. How I couldn't fall asleep due to the pain these lessons were causing, but it's worth it.

"You okey down there"

Eudoria stood by my feet, with her face far away above mine. Oh how I wish she'd just lay down and lean into me. I nodded as an answer, but didn't get up, I felt like laying there for a moment longer. The grass felt so nice. She looked down at me, almost in a childish manner. Her hand reached forward for support, but instead of taking it, I grabbed it, dragging her down with me.

She landed on her other hand, holding herself above me. Her eyes had widened due to the sudden action, making her cheeks flush a little. It felt like time stopped a little, just like someone had grabbed the pointer on the internal clock.

"Can we just lay here?" We have been training for a few hours already, so some rest was much needed. She nodded, laying herself on top of me. It was not what I meant when I said it, but I'm so happy that this was the outcome. My arms snaked around her waist, holding her in place. I don't know how long we laid there for, but it felt like not long enough when she started to push her body off of mine.

"We should really get going, I also need to check us for ticks, might not have been the smartest to lay in the grass like this."

Her hand reached forward for me to grab, which I did before dusting the grass off of my clothes. The sun had began to set and the light of the day would soon be gone.

The small path through her garden shone as the orange streams of sunlight hit the leaves. Such a beautiful sight only completed by seeing the sweet smile of Eudoria. Her eyes lit up upon the magical setting.

"We got lucky, the Marguerites have never reflected this much light before."

She reached forward to a flower that looked quite identical to a white daisy, though at the time they looked yellow due to the sunset.

"What do they mean?"

She looked back at me with dreamy eyes and a warm smile. She took my hand and led it to the flower's petals. They felt soft under my fingers, like silk.

"These are Marguerites, French for daisies. They often mean light or a sort of glimmer you see when looking at a pearl, quite like looking at the love of your life."

Her eyes moved from the flowers to mine, finding them already fixed upon them. As the time had stopped before, it did again. Our eye contact broken my a few small drops of rain hitting our heads. She looked up to the small rain clouds that had formed, the orange glow now starting to fade.

"Let's get going, it's gonna pour in a second."

Hastily we made our way to the mansion, our feet getting slightly wet because of the rain. As the door closed behind us we could hear the rain getting heavier.

"We got lucky with today's training, could've gotten caught in that."

She brushed of her dress, though it did not help much for the grass stains that had been caused by our session. She had a small blade of grass in her hair which I had failed to notice earlier.
