Y/N

"William, I-" I took a deep breath. "I wanted to save you." I said, my voice cracked as I felt my tears falling down on my cheeks.

"I can't let you die. I don't want you to die." I sobbed as I hit his chest gently.

His eyes widened in shock at her words. "You don't have to do that, Y/N. I can take care of myself." His gazes softened and he smiled softly as he hold my wrist and caressed my hand with his thumb.

"But they were really- dangerous." I leaned my forehead on his shoulder as he pulled me closer against him by wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Hey, it's okay. Look, I am still here right now, right? Now, don't crying, okay." He muffled in my hair and rubbed my shoulder gently.

After a while, I have stopped crying but he was still not letting me go. Instead, he continue stroking my hair gently, still resting his chin on my head.

"William, I'm fine now. You can let go of me." I whispered softly.

He tightened his arms around me. "No, let's stay like this for a while."

He finally let me go gently and walked away. I glanced away not wanting to look meet his eyes. I feel embarrassed because of what happened just now.

He asked me to stay in his room till dawn.

"William. Are you really... The Lord of Crime?" I asked and make him startled.

"Yes, I am. Forgive me for not telling you." He forced a smile.

"It's fine. At least I know about it now." I said, returned a smile to him.

"Aren't you scared of me, Y/N?" He asked, his voice softer now and he was looking out of the window.

"No. If it is you, then, why should I be scared?" I said with low tone, slightly shy.

His cheeks flushed slightly pink. "Do not let your guard down, Y/N. Even if it is me."

"Whatever. I do not mind if you want to kill me too." I giggled.

Seriously, this is so dark.

"You followed me. Were you trying to protect me or what?" I asked sarcastically.

"Of course." He answered right away.

"And.. who knows if you are with other guy." He mumbled under his breath.

"Huh? What did you say?" My brows furrowed and leaning slightly closer to him as i can not hear him.

"Nothing." He grinned.

Then, we watched the sunrise together. We can see it clearly from the window. Pretty.

I feel so sleepy now. So, I excuses myself and go to my room and keep all my things before I go to sleep.

"Good night? Or good morning...?" I pondered, slowly drifted off to sleep.


-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

"Good afternoon." Albert sat on the couch. "Good afternoon too." I replied with a smile.

"You are not going to tell me what you did for the past three days?" He smirked, teasing me.

"Uhm.. I'm afraid I can not tell you, Albert. I am really sorry." I apologised nervously.

"Alright then." He continued drinking a cup of tea. A rare sight of him.

My eyes wandered around the room as if I am looking for someone.

"If you are looking for him, he went out early in the morning." Albert said, snapping me out.

"Oh- Okay then. I am going to my room." I chuckled nervously as I stand up to walk out of the room.

Early in the morning? But he did not sleep last night. Do not tell me he always stayed up all night like that.

*Knock* *Knock*

I snapped out of my thoughts. "Who is that?" I asked as I walk slowly to the door.

"It's me, William." I opened the door as soon as I heard him.

"Oh hi, William." I smiled and gesture him to come in.

"I was going to tell you that I have to go this morning but you were still sleeping." He took a seat next to me, closing our gaps, which surprised me of his sudden move.

"It's fine. Albert already informed me that." I said as we gazed into each others eyes.

"Actually, I have got something to tell you." He said as he shifted his gaze on the ground.

I tilted my head too look at his face, desperately waiting for him to continue.

"Louis and I will be away from home. We got something to do before long." He looked up at me again.

I looked glum when I heard that.

"Is it that important?" I frowned trying to hold back my tears.

"Yes it is, Y/N. I'm really sorry. But I will be back as soon as possible." He caressed my cheek gently and wipe a tear that escaped from my eyes with his thumb.

"Then, I will wait for you. I promise I will not go anywhere. Not until you came back." I put my hand over his as I force myself to smile.

He put his forehead against mine and smirked.

"Glad to hear that, Y/N. Don't miss me too much, okay?" He teased me.

"Same goes to you." I rolled my eyes playfully.

He laughed and squeezed my hand lightly before standing up and walked out of my room.

I laid on my bed and my tears fell down from my eyes by themselves.

Damn Y/N, you are so weak crying over little things.
