Playing with the wrong people

I choose

Three days had passed since he spoke with Harith, even though he already knew his answer he still took a few days to make sure what he was choosing was the right one.

The entire time he was tense, everyone on the task force could feel it. Yet no one even dared to ask, well Angela tried but ended up getting whisked away by Lylia.

Other than the failed stake out they haven't gotten any leads. There were a few tips, but anyone could tell they were a waste of time.

Harley knew something they didn't though. He knew Harith would be hanging out in an ally way till Sunday.

He'd be waiting for him.

And that much was true. Harleys heart beat rapidly in his chest, much like a rabbit. The Leonin was perched on the roof his eyes lazily scanning his surroundings.

When his amber eyes spotted him they widened. Harley didn't even have to walk deeper into the alley since Harith had already leaped down the roof so he was standing in front of him.

His ears twitched, while his tail stayed extremely still.

Seeing the excited look on his face made his heart skip a beat. Even his eyes were shining.

"Harith..." he smiled

"Harley" he replied

Taking a deep breath he moved to embrace him. His hands tightly clutching the material of the leonin's shirt. "I've made a decision"

Hugging him tightly Harith let his chin rest on top of the mage genius curls "so, what do you choose?"

Pulling away, he leaned up to kiss his lips. Harith stayed still, allowing Harley to do what he pleased.

When their lips touched, Harley set the rhythm to slow. His hands wrapping around Harith's neck.

Going with the flow Harith placed his hands on Harley's hips. His finger tips sent a wave of heat down his spine.

Dipping his head Harley deepened the kiss. Their tongues circled around each other, their bodies pressed closer to each other.

When they pulled away, small streams of tears rolled down both of their faces. The kiss although being slow and full of love also carried sweet sorrow.

Harith kissed Harley's forehead then the corner of his mouth, before bring one of his hands or his cheek. His thumb lightly slid across the skin.

"Goodbye love, good luck catching me..." in the blink of an eye Harith had already climbed up to the roof of the building.

His amber eyes stole one last glance at the tear eyed mage, before he leaped away from the alley leaving Harley alone.

Seeing the leonin leap away made more tears stream down his face. Choked sobs left his mouth. Quickly blinking away the tears he looked up the sky.

It was done

They were done

Taking deep breaths quite sobs ceased.

His tears although still coming out lessened.

Having said his finally goodbyes, he chanted a quick teleportation spell. Lylia looked up from her book to see a newly appeared Harley.

She only kept her eyes on him for a mere second before her book took her attention, but just as quickly as she looked back down at her book it was thrown aside.

"Harley... did you...." Her eyes softened

Harley only managed to nod. Earlier he stopped his tears however being in the comfort of his own home with his best friend they started up again.

"W-we're.... We're done..." he choked out, his small frame shaking as sobs left his quivering lips.

Lylia crawled across her bed so he was at the edge, her hands instinctively pulling him into her chest. Just like a mother would do in order to comfort her child.

She whispered sweet nothing into his ears for hours. She didn't care how long they sat like that, not even when her legs began to go numb.

•̶•̶•̶•̶•̶•̶•̶ ❤︎ •̶•̶•̶•̶•̶•̶•̶

Harith laid in between his two sisters, each of them running their fingers through his hair.

Nana let Harith use her tail as a pillow, she hated whenever he did because he'd end up falling asleep and drooling on it, but it didn't matter.

His heart was broken. He needed this, despite his constant nagging saying he was fine.

"If your were better at flirting this wouldn't have happened" WanWan teased in an attempt to get him to cheer up.

When he remained silent, She continued on "I mean come on what was that It was your father wasn't it, what he do abuse you? No I take that back your too cute to hit unless it's with my lips" she mimicked, her voice went lower to try to sound like him, but it sounded terrible.

He snorted. He admitted it was a terrible attempt at flirting. However Harley looked so cute, and he'd gotten choked up when he actually began to speak to him.

Maybe he'd be get a second chance at flirting the beautiful mage.
