No no no

How am I back here? I frantically look around as I hear his foreboding footsteps, heavy and quick heading straight towards me. He turns the corner, dragging the whip

"You can't escape me Persephone" his words were anything but an empty threat I turn to run but I'm frozen, his footsteps ringing in my ears as they get louder and louder until they stop

The sound of a whip hitting flesh echos through the halls relentlessly

no no no not again please not again

Persephone

Persephone

"PERSEPHONE !"

I jolt up my heart racing, tears staining my cheeks. It was just a dream, arms suddenly wrapping around me "You're okay Persephone, he can't hurt you" my heart calms as Kol's smell encapsulates all my sense, his hug strong as if telling me he's not going anywhere.

I take a few seconds just basking in this moment, his arms around me.

He makes me feel safe

"What are you doing here?" I finally break the comfortable silence, "it's visiting hours, I always visit you just as they start I uh- just like checking up on you" if I wasn't getting hugged to death I would have missed the slightest skip in his heartbeat

I'm going to melt in a puddle

"Are you okay mìlo?" He pulls back, grabbing my face as he searches for any sign of harm wiping away remnants of my tears.

Is this what it feels like to be cared for?

Without thinking I lean in to kiss him, missing the taste of him and the feeling of his lips on mine, he doesn't hesitate to kiss back.

Every kiss only seems to get better, I had never thought that what the poets and writers wrote was true I always thought it was fantasy. Every time he touches me, sometimes even just when he looks at me it's like a wave of electricity

I pull away quicker than I'd like to catch my breath, being on a ventilator did some serious damage to my lungs.

Not like they were in super impressive shape before.

I smile as I look at Kol, no reason in particular I just like looking at him. "Still as sweet as I remember mìlo"

Yup and now I'm a tomato, I shove him playfully. "Get in" I scoot over patting to the now empty spot besides me. He quickly lays next to me, pulling me so I'm laying on his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart.

I've realized I love it because it grounds me, it keeps me grounded in reality.

Definitely not because I get to lay on Kol

"We need to talk mìlo"

Yup this is where it ends huh? The classic 'we need to talk' ending with 'it's not you it's me' welp its been fun while it lasted.
