With Every Gaze And Touch...

We Are Invincible

I was mad yesterday after the episode so i wanted to pour my anger into this one-shot. Hope you'll like it. This is my version of STUPID and DUMBY's demise.

Context: Eda found the envelope in her car and went to give it to Serkan at his home. He opened it with her and they were both shocked to find out about Selin and Deniz. This is the afternath of their discovery and my version of their downfall.

Enjoy!

"Welcome everybody. You may wonder why we all summoned you here today," Serkan said to the very confused faces of the Art Life team. He briefly glanced at Eda who nodded ever so slightly, encouraging him to continue and he gladly obliged, having waited for two days for what he was about to do.

"Ever since I left almost three months ago, my life and yours have changed in ways we can't begin to comprehend. I had a plane accident, disappeared, then came back with no memories of the last year. Through all of these trials, one person always supported me through it all whether I acknowledged it or not." He saw how many people nodded gravely, and he saw how Selin started smiling proudly. But his eyes flew over her before stopping on the beautiful brunette looking at him with a small smile. "That person is Eda."

Immediately people started frowning and looking at each other and a murmur could be heard in the crowd. Serkan stepped down the couple of stairs that he was on and held out his hand for Eda to take – making sure to walk passed Selin as he did – and brought her back with him to stand on the stairs of the hall. He held her firmly by the waist and looked into her big brown eyes lovingly. He felt so lucky to finally be able to hold her close after all that they had endured.

"Evet arkadaşlar. Eda is the one person that supported me through it all. She waited for me, she fought for me, she made sure that the holding would remain intact, she tried to help me remember... she did all of these and so much more. I will never be able to repay her at least a tenth of what she has given me. And I will never have enough words to express how sorry I am for how bad I treated you," he added with a crack in his voice turning towards her. "That is why, in front of all our loved ones, and of all our friends, I want to publicly apologize to you. I am so sorry Eda for all the pain that I've caused you. For all the griefs I put you through. And in front of all of them, I want to tell you again that I fell in love with you, that I never want to part from you ever again."

"Serkan!" Selin suddenly exclaimed in disbelief and all eyes turned to her. "What are you doing?"

"Ah! Selin." Serkan stepped down again and almost dragged her by the wrist to stand on the stairs as well. "You see Selin. Eda and I actually want to thank you." Selin's brows furrowed as she looked at Serkan and then at the crowd that was listening in silence. "Evet. When I was badly injured and without any kind of memory of this past year, I turned to you. I did. I did it because to me, you were my friend. I knew you since we were children, I grew up with you. Yes, in my head we were still dating even. So I knew that you would be able to help me.

"So when you finally came to that hospital and helped me with my recovery, I felt indebted to you. You had helped me after all, you were the only one there for me. You protected me and told me all that had happened to me during that lost year. You reconnected me with the real me. You did, degil mi?"

Selin nodded slowly which made Serkan snicker. "Yes, I helped you Serkan. I was always by your side. And you loved me, you chose me..."

"Loved you? Chose you?" Serkan laughed humorlessly. "Tell me Selin. In what delusional world do you think you're living?"

"Serkan," Eda said softly grabbing his arm to calm him down as he started raising his voice menacingly.

"You kept me for weeks away from my loved ones, away from my mother, my friends, away from my fiancée! While I was injured and suffering from PTSD. You brainwashed me into thinking that Eda was a manipulator, a cunning woman who had turned me into someone I was not when in fact you were the cunning manipulative one! And when we came back, you kept on turning me against her, making me believe that she was only looking for revenge, making me believe..."
