† Miette Oionós's Links
Married! She initially met him when she came into her shop to pick up some flowers for the gravestones. She noticed he seemed very quiet and wasn't much for conversation but she just figured he may of been a bit shy and still treated him warmly. Anytime he came in she would try to get him to open up more about himself and she slowly noticed a change in his demeanor, it felt warmer and more inviting. It didn't take long for it to change a bit more were she couldn't help but to feel a sense of apprehension towards her, some sort of fear and in some cases it felt like he would stare at her a bit longer than his usual glances. Although she was put off by this she still continued to be friendly towards him, his odd behavior didn't stop her from conjuring some feelings towards him. Their talks were getting longer until they would bring up trauma from their pasts, Miette eventually learned why his attitude changed towards her. A curse? Being a Delta curses were all too common around her and she couldn't help but to feel a sense of fear or dread when she heard him say this. She managed to brush it aside after a second of thought, smiling at him and telling him "Well...we've been talking for a long time and I'm still okay."
The visits seemed to slow down, but she wanted to see him more often, so when he came to the shop again she didn't hesitate to ask him on a date. Miette absolutely showered Charon in affection and would calm him down whenever he needed an ear to vent to. They were almost inseparable, they dated for awhile and heavily considered marriage but weren't sure if they were ready for it yet. That changed the day Miette discovered she was pregnant.
Married! Charon first visited Miette's shop in order to buy flowers for gravestones. His quiet and aloof nature makes it hard for him to make small talk and made developing any kind of relationship with Miette a bit harder at first. Eventually, Charon began to visit Miette more often, he felt drawn to her, perhaps in love. This feeling eventually turned into fear, as every time he's felt this tell-tale feeling, it was a sign of death. However, week after week, Miette was okay, maybe just a little off-put by Charon's demeanor but still relatively friendly. Due to this increased visiting, the two became closer and more intimate. Small talk turned into lengthy discussions and lengthy discussions turned into emotional venting about traumatic experiences. The two became very close, and his cold shell slowly began to melt. The more Miette spoke of miracles, the more Charon believed his curse could be broken, the more he began to truly fall in love again. One night, Charon confided in Miette about his curse, how he visits so frequently terrified that one day, she'll be gone. However, Miette just smiled and said, "Well...we've been talking for a long time and I'm still okay." From there on out, things began to change. Charon was noticeably different, more at peace, warmer, happier. Charon visited Miette's shop less, but whenever he did visit, it was from a genuine place of warmth. Charon visited the shop to get flowers for the gravestones one day, and Miette asked him for a date. From there, they were much more affectionate, something that Charon once hated but now craved. They dated for a good while and were together most days of the week. They always considered marriage but were unsure of actually going through with it. Well, until the day, Miette's pregnancy test came back positive.
