10.

A soon as the words escaped my lips realization set in, I watched keaya my heart pounding out of my chest.

Keaya looked surprised..

I couldn't make much else from his expression, i bit down in my tongue in anticipation praying he would just respond.

"I.. don't know what to say"
He responded

I knew it was just his nice way of saying he didn't like me, I knew it was coming but still it hurt all the same.

"Yeah.. that's why I didn't want to tell you"
I reply mentally cursing myself for telling him in the first place.

"No albedo.. I don't mean it like that.."
Keaya replied

"What do you mean then?"
I say hopeful he might of changed his mind about me

"I like rosaria"
He paused just long enough before continuing
"Bu-

At the worst time possible it arose again the coughing fit, this time it was worse.. worse then ever before.
my throat felt like it was on fire my lungs begged for air but the massive flowers that pushed through my throat blocked my breathing.
The salty taste of blood stung on my tongue, petal after petal scratched it's way through my throat.
my coarse coughing continued as I tried to clear my airways, I couldn't even hear keaya.
my vision started to blur and just as suddenly I blacked out.

I could feel a hand under my head clearly trying to hold me up as I started to come to it I recognized him..

"Keaya"
I say groggy

He looked down at me giving me a warm smile

"Albedo! You're awake"
He says suprised

"Yeah-"
I shoot up coughing out the remain petals

"Albedo!?"
Keaya yells concerned

"I'm fine.. I'm fine.."
I calm him down

"Albedo.. I never got to finish what I was saying.."
Keaya continued

"Oh yeah theres no point"
I say already knowing what was coming

I didn't want to hear him say it, so despite the pounding pain that filled my head I stood up.

The room span around me still I pressed on pretending to be unbothered, I opened the door, but just as I was about to leave I felt him grab my wrist.

"Don't go"
He said quickly as I turned to look at him.

"Keaya, this already difficult for me just let go"
I reply stubbornly trying free myself.

"No, albedo just let me finish"
Keaya said with a hint of frustration.

"I already know you don't like me, there's no need to repeat it or try to console me"
I say, holding back the tears that threatened to fall.

"Albedo just listen to me!"
Keaya yelled

I turned back to look at him again surprised by his sudden outburst

"God danm it albedo I love you"
He yelled with a sigh of relief

"But then.."
I stuttered trying to work everything out in my head

"I was so sure you hated me, I never thought your hanahaki is what made you avoid me"
Keaya laughed slightly

"So I pushed everything down tried to move on.. but seeing you passed out in my arms today.."
Keaya said in more of a whisper

He pulled me close to him you face presses against us chest he rested his chin on my head

"I realized my feelings for you never left"
He finished

I look up to meet his eyes a warm smile spread across my face, I reached my hand up guiding my fingers across his jaw.

I could tell just from the look in his eye what he wanted to do, So I hesitate slightly before closing my eyes and kissing him.

His hand tangled in my hair the other wrapped around my waist, I pulled myself closer to him my arms dangled over his broad shoulders.
The feeling of his lips against mine the slight sound of his breath, the way his fingers caressed my dishevelled hair and the way we seemed to melt together,
God I never wanted the moment to end.
