CHAPTER 32 | like a dream

CASTYR'S POV

Kilo is already awake when I open my eyes. He smiles as I look up at him brightly. My eyes widen when I suddenly realize I am glowing, my cheeks reddening as I hope I am not too bright.

"Sorry," I smile shyly as I dampen the light.

"Don't be. I like it when you glow," Kilo smiles sweetly.

I wrap my arms around Kilo and nestle in closer. "I can't believe I've finally got you back. It feels like a dream."

Fear strikes me, and I look up at my angel. "This isn't a dream, is it?" I begin to panic.

Kilo pulls me in and presses his lips to mine. My fingers wrap themselves in his shirt as I kiss him. All my fears fade away, and I melt in Kilo's arms.

"Does this feel real enough?" Kilo asks as he pulls away. I smile and nod as Kilo rests his head on mine. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."

I hum happily and cuddle into the angel. "Where were you?" I ask quietly and cautiously.

Kilo sighs and runs his fingers through my hair before answering, "Somewhere you'll never go."

"I'm so sorry," tears touch my eyes as I think about the scars covering Kilo's body.

"Don't be. They're gone."

"Huh?" I watch as Kilo lifts his shirt.

"You healed me."

I reach out and touch the flawless skin. Kilo places his hand on top of mine and slides my hand up his chest. My heart races as my hand feels his muscular body. Kilo smiles down at me and stops my hand on his heart. I cannot help but blush as I feel his pounding heart.

"You healed this, too. As soon as I saw you, I knew everything was going to be okay. So don't be sorry, hmm?" Kilo says softly.

I nod, and Kilo pulls me in. I close my eyes and run my hands around his chest to his back as I hold onto my angel, my hands still under his shirt. As I nestle into Kilo, I feel small twitches running up the angel's back causing him to shift slightly.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" I pull away and look at him with worry.

"Oh, it's just my wings. They're getting twitchy 'cause they want to come out."

"They can come out if they want to. I don't mind."

"Well...they're kind of big."

"That's okay. We can go to a rooftop." My lips curl into a small smile. I have been wanting to see Kilo's wings in all their glory.

The angel nods and ruffles my hair before getting out of bed. I slip out from under the blanket and follow him out of the tent. Kilo waits for me to exit the tent before interlacing his fingers with mine. I cannot help but giggle and look up at him with a bright smile.

"Let's go," Kilo smiles before leading me through the camp.

We walk for a couple blocks hand in hand just enjoying being in each other's presence. Kilo leads me into a building of slick, black stone. We ascend the stairs and make our way to the roof, taking deep breaths of fresh air as we open the door to the roof.

I follow Kilo to the center of the roof. He lets go of my hand and walks a few steps in front of me. The angel closes his eyes and takes a breath as giant black wings emerge from his back. My mouth opens in awe as I stare at the beautiful wings in front of me. I slowly approach and gently stroke one of the wings. I cannot help but notice the tingles which run down Kilo's spine. His wings must be incredibly sensitive.
