Both sides of the coin

Time passed by and Socio noticed she felt and acted differently around Shar'tok. It was new feeling for her, something she couldn't describe completely.
Safe, at least she felt safe. And liked. When she fell asleep, Shar'tok usually sat next to her, shyly fiddling the messy hair of hers. When she woke up, Shar'tok was awake already, looking down to her and smiling warmly. If Shar'tok wasn't around because of reason or another, Socio noticed she kept on thinking of him.
Their living under the sun of Vale wasn't always that easy. Socio got easily confused because of her feelings, feeling confused made her angry and furstrated. That leaded to situations where she acted stupid and even agressive towards Shar'tok. Shar'tok had nasty habbit, wich Socio hated the most. Every time she got mad, Shar'tok breaked one of his fingers. Even the sound made Socio feel bad. Many times yells of these two trolls echoed from trees of the Vale.
Once again these two were fighting. Outer wall of the Gurubashi Arena mirrored the shouting to the jungle. Shar'tok breaked a finger again, and Socio stared to him eyes flashing. She was almost blind from anger, lifting her upper lip to snarl. Shar'tok returned the snarl for her, calling his raptor after that and started to run away from her.
Immediately after Socio saw Shar'tok's back disappearing to the jungle, she started to feel even more bad. She fell to her knees, loosening all her strength from her limbs. Weakly she tried to lift her hands up. After filling her lungs with thick air of Stranglethorn Vale Socio yelled "ye' no seein' me carin' ye, Shar'tok!". Birds from the nearby trees flew up, but no other answer was given. Socio sobbed, burying her face to her hands, trying to swallow her tears. Socio wasn't even sure why she cried. For furstration, because of being scared? Or maybe both, but Socio didn't want to cry. Crying was sign of weakness and she definetly wasn't weak.
It took fewminutes, before Socio felt someone carefully touching her shoulder. "Socio.." she heard Shar'tok whispering with scared, slightly shivering voice. Socio didn't andwer, she just tried to stop crying under her palms. She didn't even know what to say. "Socio.." Shar'tok whispered again while kneeling next to her, sounding more paniced this time. He pulled Socio's hands down, kissing her tears and closed eyelids, wich she suttbornly kept closed. "Socio I love ye' and me never wantin' to hurt ye'.." Shar'tok finally continued.
Finally Socio swallowed her pride and squeezed Shar'tok, nodding and sobbing one last time. "Me love yeh 'oo, Shar'tok. Me love yeh 'oo".
