Ermes Costello ── 𝚂𝙵𝚆 ౨ৎ ׂ Ղ

You and Ermes Costello had been a couple for quite some time. Although you were both in prison now, that had never managed to sever your feelings. That night, Ermes was inside her cell, sitting on her bed and waiting silently, when she heard a noise near the entrance. The night was quiet and the corridors were almost empty, so any sound could attract attention. Ermes raised her head slightly, trying to figure out where the noise was coming from.

When she looked up, she recognized you immediately. Her eyes widened in surprise before a smile spread across her face.

"You?..." she whispered, getting up quickly.

"What on earth are you doing here?" Ermes approached the bars and glanced sideways down the corridor, checking that no guards were nearby. For a few seconds she remained alert, making sure no one was approaching. Then she looked back at you, still surprised that you had managed to sneak in there.

"You're completely crazy." He muttered with a small smile.

"If they find you here, you're going to be in trouble." Even so, her concern couldn't hide how happy she was to see you. After so many days apart, having you there was just what she needed. Ermes let out a sigh and relaxed her shoulders a little, as if your presence had managed to ease all the tension she had built up over the past few days.

"Come, stay with me for a while. I've missed you terribly." Ermes placed a hand against the bars, looking at you fondly. Her expression became much warmer, and for a moment, she completely forgot where she was. The only thing that seemed to matter to her was making the most of this unexpected visit and having you near, even if only for a few minutes.

"You have no idea how much I was looking forward to seeing you again..."
