Capitulo 9
IT made Fionntan woe more when Eiassey pulled him against her chest.
Her hand stroking his hair for consolation and the other rubbing in circular motion on his back.
"You can tell me why you are upset but if you can't voice it out—it's okay too. I'll stay here for as long as you let me. . . ," she mumbled to his ear making him melt under her lulling sounds and movements.
As Fionntan tried to calm down, he nodded, still staying in that same position for a while until he simmered down.
Gently giving small space for the both of them, he pulled his phone out and Eiassey watched as the pads of his fingers tapped the screen with his shaky fingers.
Sighing in relief after he somehow cooled down, Eiassey brought her phone up after he sent her a message.
After finishing the message, Eiassey placed her eyes on him.
Tears shone in her eyes upon realizing that Fionntan had been carrying his insecurities alone.
The text explained how he wished he could talk to her freely without fret, he wished he could make jokes with her, he wished he didn't have to use other options just to converse with her.
Fionntan wanted to use his voice, but couldn't.
Eiassey could only imagine how sore his throat was from all of the screaming that he did for so many minutes.
Eiassey deeply don't understood why Fionntan can't talk but Kye already noted to them that he's really hard to speak with.
Reason why none of them introduced the topic again, fully aware now that Fionntan's condition was something sensitive to put forward.
Nonetheless, there's times that Fionntan use his voice even though it's rare, Eiassey was happy he's making an effort although most of them were force and hard to do.
They stayed talking to Fionntan where he can respond to them comfortably using gibberish words, noises, or gestures that only them can apprehend.
Bringing his hands close to her chest, firmly holding it, she sighed as she stated words of affirmation, "Fio, my dearest sweetheart, I'll never fully understand why you can't talk to me freely but you don't have to speak to me with words or make jokes with me,"
"It's infuriating for you, I know I wouldn't know how it felt like," she paused to look directly at his eyes for assurance.
"Believe me, I appreciate every time you take time writing me letters, using cute gesture when you try to talk to me—I love those, those little words you say as an alternative,"
"Whenever you're around? Damn, sweetheart, it felt like I'm swimming in the sea of heavens. You might not understand but the simple things you do always make me the happiest and you didn't even realize it!"
