“I’m sorry I did it.” He apologized without turning around. The shame in what he had done without permission weighed heavily on him, stabbing deeply. He could feel Chel’s anger and annoyance. “It was wrong and at the time, I didn’t think it was.”
Lexx turned, his eyes wide and mournful. “If I mess up, please tell me. I’m completely lost and I know it.” It took a lot out of Lexx to admit his inexperience. He desperately wanted help, but asking for it was something he felt too awkward to do. He couldn’t help but believe this kind of thing came more naturally to others than himself.
Chel gave Lexx a blank look, then a smile spread across her face and she laughed. “I think this is supposed to be a mutual learning experience.”
“I want to do everything right.” Lexx couldn’t accept that as an answer. There had to be a book of rules somewhere.
“That’s sweet, Lexx, but you need to be you.” Chel’s words left Lexx stunned as he stared into her eyes and melted inside. “Just be honest with me.”
Lexx leaned forward, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. “I love you,” he stated, feeling a moment of freedom in those words.
New Month! Hurray! Halfway through and I just now get to posting the monthly: Thank you for supporting my comics and work! Patreon and Swaggerdile are great ways to support! (I have a monthly shortage of $200 right now. I actually need to find $50 to get to pay day as it is. :D)
I am running a new little short story featuring Lexx and Chel earlier in the game.
If you want to support but don't want to use Patreon or Swaggerdile, feel free to peruse the Amazon work list. I only need a new keyboard drawer, which is on the list. Mine is falling apart. :/
