Trust [Light Drama]

Author's Note:

I once tried experimenting with a dialogue only story in here, and I got the urge to do it again. So. Here ya go.

'...' shows where something non-verbal was done. This could be a moment of silence, an exchanged look, a smile, a hug, etc. Use your imagination!

"Sombra?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think trust can be foolish?"

"The answer to that is rather obvious. You know full well that trust can be foolish."

"That is true..."

"...And so do I..."

"But you trust me."

"...I do. Of course I do."

"And I trust you."

"Oh, absolutely."

"Ooh, Sombra, I'm trying to be as sappy as you are! Stop with that face!"

"What face~?"

"THAT FACE!"

"You're going to have to tell me about my face."

"I am aiming for sinceretiy, and you are so terribly smug right now."

"I am."

"Som!"

"Yes, Luna?"

"You are only doing this because I called you a sap, are you not?"

"Is that really a question that you need to ask?"

"Hush. It is not. I do mean that I trust you... and..."

"I love you too."

"...me too. But..."

"Yes?"

"I trust you with anything. With my life. Anything, Som."

"I trust you too."

"...Is it wrong then, that sometimes I still get nervous about telling you things? Such a thing must seem so silly but..."

"No, Luna, not at all."

"I don't keep secrets from you."

"I know. I didn't think you did."

"Do you... Do you sometimes... wish you didn't have to say things? Not lying, Sombra, just not telling anypony."

"Luna...? Is something wrong?"

"I... I am not sure. Telling my sister that sometimes I... sometimes I still have the thoughts that I need to be punished o-or that... They are nearly gone now, really. Really. Shh, you don't need to look at me like that. I feel confident because of you. I tell you everything... telling Tia things is hard. I do. I've been trying, and sometimes it has been working. She's so worried sometimes, but she doesn't really understand and... I think she's always worried about me. I don't want her to always be worried so..."

...

"Is it like that for you...? When I just feel all my thoughts think like that? A-And I try to berate myself over such little things? Are you always worried about me?"

"Sometimes, Luna. Not always. You can always tell me anything."

"I know... thank you, for reminding me. And caring."

"...I do mean anything, Luna."

"Yes, and thank you... you can always tell me anything too."

"I know."

"Even if it scares you. Perhaps especially then."

...

"Anything about the past. Anything about your thoughts. I always wish to hear them."

"...I know."

"Shh, it's only a reminder. Unless...? Do you want to talk about something to day?"

"No, Luna."

...

...

"Thank you for listening."

"It's never a problem, Luna, and neither are you."

"...Oh?"

"There's a look in your eyes that says that sometimes."

"...Oh. Of course you would notice..."

"Always."

"Som?"

"Yes?"

"Do you really have nothing bothering you?"

"Yes, Luna. I promise."

"I trust you... and what you have to say."

"Always?"

"Yes, Sombra. Always."

...

"See! That smirk is back!"
