Theo leaned down and kissed her, something desperate but cautious. He pulled away after only a second. "I'm sorry about that," he said quickly. He hadn't seen her in forever, what was he doing? Hopefully she wouldn't completely hate him now. Not that he wouldn't make sure to change that if she did. He stood up and held out his hand to help her up.

Tem felt his lips touch hers and she held her breath... Theo was kissing her... but before she could melt into the kiss, Theo had pulled away. She reached for his hand, stood up and kept hold of it. "I don't recall you ever saying you were sorry before. You shouldn't start now... you have no reason to be." Tem continued to hold his hand, this felt so right. She was back at Theo's side... and this time she would die before she left him.

Theo smirked as he turned around to look at her. "I'm not actually sorry. I lied," he said, no trace of remorse for lack of honesty in his voice. He squeezed her hand, then looked back ahead. "So you remember that, huh?" he remarked, becoming more and more his old self.

"I remember a lot of things Theo..." she said looking to the ground. "I've missed you..." There. She said it. She let her blonde hair cover her face so he wouldn't see the tear that had escaped her eye and was now running down her cheek. This was a tear of happiness, and not sorrow, but she was too proud to let him see it.

"I've missed you too," he replied, his voice only barely audible. He shook his hair out of his eyes, and glanced at her, then back ahead. "Have you met anyone here so far?" he asked curiously.

Tem shook her head. "The only person I would have cared to meet is holding my hand right now..." Tem made a sudden movement, she pulled a knife from her ankle holder and threw towards a bush. She stood straight and walked calmly to where the knife was, it had stabbed a large spider and pinned it to the trunk of the bush. "I hate spiders..." she said trying to pull her knife out. This was rather unlike her, she was never aware of her surroundings, but being close to Theo hightened her senses.

"I can see that," he remarked lightly, hiding how impressed he was. "You've gotten pretty good," he complimented. "Do you need help getting the knife out now?" Theo looked amused as he asked the question, hiding it badly.

Tem looked at Theo, and then smiled, letting a laugh come up inside her. "Would you mind? I hate leaving my knives behind... but sometimes... well... spiders..." She knew he was going to laugh at her. She watched him carefully, her mind on that fleeting kiss, and her smile wouldn't fade.

Theo laughed softly, at least having the grace to attempt to keep it from sounding mocking, but he wasn't so sure how that worked out. He pulled her knife from the trunk of the tree and heanded it to her handle first, the blade (farther up than where it went through the spider) pressed between his thumb and the side of his forefinger. "I don't like spiders either, really."

Tem smiled at Theo. She took the knife and placed it back into her ankle holder. "Thanks Theo." Her hand went back to his, almost like it had belonged there the whole time and it was wrong to remove it. Tem seemed to be fighting something... but finally she gave in and spoke. "Don't leave me again Theo..." she asked of him, "I will follow you anywhere... everywhere..."

Theo looked troubled but hid it. Was that really what she thought? That he had left her? Well, he did. He knew he did. But it wasn't why he left. He wouldn't have chosen to do something like that. Her hand seemed to fit perfectly in his own, and he didn't really want to release it. "I won't, Tem," he responded, trying to smirk, "Promise.... So, anywhere you say?"

"Wait..." Tem stood still holding his hand so he would not walk too far off. "I need to know you won't hurt me. My heart cannot stand being shattered again, I'm still picking up the pieces. If you said you won't leave me and then you did, Theo that's like you lied to me."
Something came over Tem and she continued talking "The moment I find that out, it'll be as if my whole world would dissolve around me and madness will overcome. I don't want that to happen Theo... This time, I will tell you how much I hate you and call you a fucking lying piece of shit." It was like Tem was re-living this in her brain, she began to cry "I won't mean any of it. I won't... I will only say it because I will be hurt beyond measure, and that will be the only way I will have to express it." Tem let go of Theo's hand and bent her head to cover her eyes, that were now crying so much, her face was glistening.

"Tem," he said, looking into her eyes and speaking softly. Damn. Why was he like this when he was with her? Why couldn't he just laugh it off? Because he cared about her, and he couldn't really help it. Not at all. And he didn't want to. "I will never leave you," he continued, pausing between each word to emphasize them. "I never meant to do that to you, and goddamn it, it won't happen again. I'll die before I let it happen again."

Tem threw herself into his arms and held him about his neck. She wanted to kiss him, but she wasn't the type to start a kiss, she wanted him to. "I believe in fate, Theo... You are fate. I would have waited for you until the end of my days."

Theo wrapped his arms around her, holding on tightly. "I'm impressed," he whispered in her ear, then guided her chin up to kiss her.

She kissed him, as she never had, letting him have full controll over it, over her. She melted into his arms and wished this moment woundn't end, that it would last until the world around them vanished and they would be left alone finally. She finally needed air... and pulled away. Her hand was back in his hand and she was walking up the path with him with a smile, that hadn't appeared on her face for some time.

Theo smiled a little to himself when she was turned away. He still couldn't bring himself to do it in front of people. Not unless it was at their own misfortune. But then he didn't quite feel the same way when he was with her. He didn't feel as terrible nor did he feel any urge to torment someone just to get some satisfaction. "So what have you been up to?" he asked, the question entirely honest. It really had been a while. He didn't know what she was up to. For all he knew, she could have been a pole dancer. Oh god, he hoped not....

Tem smiled. "I stayed at school... kind'of kept to myself... some kids tried to hurt me, I produced some fire... I didn't hurt them, but their parents complained and my parents were forced to move me here." She summed it up rather nicely, but she did leave out the fact that the boys who tried to hurt her were trying to rape her, but he didn't need to know that. Keep things happy... "What'd you think, that I was stripping?" It was odd how their mind worked...

"Hurt you?" Theo asked, an edge now coming into his tone. He would kill them. He could kill them...and cover his footprints sufficiently and without a trace. If she wanted him to do so. It struck him then that he would do anything for her, and he was not accustomed to this. The only person he ever did anything for was himself and his own morals. No one else really mattered. He caught her last question and smirked. "Oh no. I know you have more dignity than that," he paused, eyeing her. "You weren't, were you?"

Tem looked at him seriously. "Well yeah, my name was candycane, and my signature move is the SugarDrop..." She paused looking at him and then began to laugh. "Theo! Of course not... what have you been up to?"
