Humans

“I heard she’s dating a human.” The farie heard the judgement. Others didn’t understand why she loved him.

“But they die so quickly.”

He was more alive then anyone else. The way he animated his conversations with words or kissed her in thunderstorms had convinced her.

“You could do so much better.”

They said she could do better, and he could too, but they didn’t want that.

“They’re so ordinary. Plain.”

They said he was ordinary. Instead of angle wings or vampire teeth he had mysterious dark brown eyes and dimples when he laughed.

That’s why she loved him.
