SALVATION [Vanitas x Noe x Reader]

Chapter 13 "Let Me"

Paris

Early Evening

Hotel Room

Noe was standing next to the door, looking at Vanitas, who was sleeping in his bed, covering his face with a pillow from the evening sun lights. Vanitas was sleeping since yesterday's afternoon they got back, not even getting up to drink water or showing any signs of life in his body, by sleeping in the same position that he fall on the bed when he came back.

- Vanitas, how long are you going to sleep? - screamed Noe, trying to get him up. Vanitas didn't even move after hearing Noe's scream, continue pretending that he was asleep. Noe came to his bed and took the pillow from his hand, smashing his head with the pillow, - Stop pretending that you are asleep. Oh.

Noe stopped, looking at Vanitas' lifeless face. He was looking exhausted and scared at the same time. Vanitas' took the pillow out of Noe's hands and hugged it, closing his eyes.

- I can't, not now, please, I'm done, - said Vanitas that was sounding as he was mumbling under his nose, - I'm done for it.

- Are you okay? You haven't eaten or even got up, - Noe got closer to Vanitas' face, trying to look closer at him.

- Is she okay? - whispered Vaniatas under his breath, cuddling with the pillow more tightly.

- Yes, she just lost too much blood, but she will be fine, - said Noe, looking back at his bed. She was laying in his bed under the blanket, with her hands laying on her chest. When they got back she was already asleep after drinking some of his blood. She did not wake up since yesterday afternoon as well as Vanitas. Even Noe was able to wake up Vanitas, she continued sleeping, not making any move.

- That's great, really great, I, - Vanitas stopped, placing his hand over his mouth, stopping himself from saying any further. Noe raised his eyebrows, giving Vanitas a frustrated look.

- What's happening with you? - said Noe, looking around and keep thinking inside of his head about everything that can be happening with Vanitas. Noe's face became cold, he looked at the door, - I need to go, just get up, Vanitas. I will be back soon.

Noe came to the door, looking back at Vanitas and her. Noe exhaled, leaving a room and closing a door behind him As soon as Vanitas heard the sound of the closing door, he got up and came to Noe's bed where she was laying in. He looked at her, placing his hand on her cheek. Her face was calm and relaxed while she was sleeping. Vanitas sat on the bed, taking her soft hand in his hands, squeezing it.

- I, - he tried to speak, but he couldn't. He failed to protect her in any way possible almost every time. She was protecting him, not like he was, - I should protect you, not you protecting me as usually do. I wish I could say that when you can hear me, but when I will fail to protect you. I don't know what is happening to me, but I can't stop thinking about what happened between us when I got poisoned. I am an idiot. You probably think that I didn't remember, but I do remember everything. I wish I could explain everything better to you. I wish that you have never lost memory. It is all my fault, but I will work on it. I will protect you, I will free you from this pain because the only one thing why I am living is you. It always was you. Protecting me, showing me that love is not about loving you, it is about sacrificing yourself to the person you truly love. How did you even fall in love with such a pity person like me, you are so stupid, [y/n] but I still damn love you. If you would just now.
