Finding Home || Kazutora Hanemiya

Chapter 28

Kazutora eyes widened and his whole body froze when the words left your mouth.

Did you just say you love him?

His heart still beated hard in his chest, and it didn't seem like it's going to slow down soon, not now that a warm feeling growed in it quickly, and it exploded through to the rest of his body, making goosebumps appear on his skin.

He was unable to move, he couldn't do anything else beside staring at you. One of his hands was still cupping your cheek, his thumb resting a little below your eye, where he wiped away your tears a moment ago. When another one rolled down your cheek and touched his finger, he blinked and he furrowed his brows.

"What did you say?" he asked, but he was pretty sure that he heard you right.

He just couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that this gorgeous human, this beautiful guardian angel, who was laying in his arms could really feel that way about him.

A shaky breath left your mouth, and your lips started to tremble. You looked away from him and tried to keep in the sobs which wanted to escape you.

He didn't say it back.

You shouldn't have said it in the first place. You two only met a few weeks ago and just had sex for the first time, and you confessed your feelings for him right after.

You pulled your hands away from his neck, putting them on his shoulders, trying to push him away.

Kazutora's frown deepened and he grabbed your wrists, holding them between your bodies. Your head was turned on the side on the pillow, and Kazutora saw how it became damp when your tears hit it. His features softened and he leaned down, kissing your cheek softly.

"Say it again." he wispered and kissed your cheek again, then your temple, your ear, your jaw, your neck.

Your heart started to beat even faster and you turned your head to look up at him. When you saw his face, a small smile appeared on your face. He was looking at you like a little child would look at their present on Christmas day, waiting to rip off the paper it was wrapped in, to see if the present was really what they were wishing for.

"I love you." you whispered back to him.

You watched shocked as a single tear rolled down on his cheek and he suddenly leaned down, pushing his lips forcefully against yours.

He let go of your wrists, wrapping his arms around you, keeping your body close to his, while your arms circled around his neck.

"I love you too." he whispered, then kissed you again eagerly. "I love you so much."

You smiled against his lips, while the tears continued to pour from your eyes. When you sniffled again, Kazutora pulled away, looking at you with a smile.

"I hope they are happy tears?"

You grinned, then let out a sigh.

"Nah, this is the worst day of my life."

Kazutora laughed and wiped your tears away.

"Mhm, mine too." he smirked, then he looked up like he was thinking. "Actually it could be worse..."

"How?" you asked, playing with his hair.

"We could still be kissing. That would be terrible!"

"Yeah, let's never do that again." you said grinning at him as you saw that his face was getting closer and closer again, his eyes shining with a playful glow.

"Deal, I hate kissing you." he murmured, his forehead was touching yours now.

"Me too, you're terrible at it." you whispered back.
