fuck. silence again.

His eyes are closed, his fingers knotted in anxious anticipation. Her eyes are focused on the floor, her fingers playing with the hem of her shirt.
His cheeks are flushed as he takes a long breath. She searches her mind for a reply to his question.
He asked the unthinkable, she has no idea how to reply. She opens her mouth, but no words escape her lips. He does not see this, for his eyes are still closed, concealing dark brown orbs.
She bites her lip, but still makes no sound. She knows she cannot decline; deep in her heart, she does not want to anyway. Not knowing what to say, she slowly, silently, walks away.
He is losing hope, his eyes open at last. Rejection is clear in his dark eyes, now shimmering with unshed tears.
He sees her turn the corner, he sees rejection. He hears nothing but rejection. Silence.
