"Are you sure that you want to leave?" Yelena questions for the thousandth time as Hedeon walks to the front door with his backpack hanging over his shoulders. It's been a day since Rick confirmed that Natasha received the vials safely and Hedeon decides to leave. "You can stay here as long as you want."
"Я не хочу больше быть для тебя обузой." (I don't want to be a burden to you anymore) He says, fiddling with the stripes of his backpack. His backpack feels so heavy even though it only has a few clothes, supplies and his assassin suit. Deep down, he wants to stay with her.
"Ты для меня не обузой, Гедеон." (You're not a burden to me, Hedeon) She says, crossing her arms.
"Я знаю." (I know) He smiles cheekily and she pokes his cheek.
"Send me a postcard."
"And if you want my nudes don't be shy to ask." Hedeon winks at her.
"Hedeon, you asshole." Yelena shakes her head slightly, laughing before throwing her arms around him, embracing tightly. "I'm gonna miss you."
"Me too, my pretty little vixen." He hugs her back, not wanting to let go. When he finally does, Yelena kisses his cheek.
Hedeon's whole body freezes, face turns into shades of red, a shiver runs down his body and goosebumps raise, mocking him. "I-I gotta go."
"Yeah. You got the keys? Remember where the motorbike is parked?"
"Я не ребенок." (I'm not a kid)
"Of course, you're not. You set my kitchen on fire yesterday and splashed the kissel I made for both of us all over the kitchen to cut down the fire!"
"I'm out."
"Yeah. You better go before I kick your ass." Yelena jokes.
"Uh-Huh." He grins before stumbling towards the elevator. As soon as he reaches the elevator, it dings and opens the door.
Hedeon enters in and stands as his hand goes up to his cheek, replaying the kiss over and over again. Smiling like a madman, he wonders what it'll be to feel her lips on his lips instead of his cheek.
He sighs, knowing she won't approve and he's going to embarrass himself. And their friendship might break into pieces. He's not going to let that happen. He values their friendship more than anything in the world.
As he walks out of the apartment complex, he lowers his baseball cap to cover his face to avoid the unwanted attention. He decides to go to the cafe for a coffee and relax before his long journey.
