Die For You | 𝐆𝐮𝐆𝐮

Gusion ended up holding his breathe as Guinevere stares at his eyes. He loves it when she does that. He can clearly see how much she desires him from her gaze alone. No one have looked at him the way she does. Not his parents. Not his siblings. Not even Lesley.

Her gaze never changed since the first day they met.

It was still the same, shining and oozing with unconditional love towards him. Only him. She looks sad as she sat on her desk in the first day of his substitution. When he roamed his eyes around the room, she was the only one who didn't lift her gaze to his direction. It was weird, for a student to hate him (is what he thought first) when they never even met. Gusion thought she's just wary of new people so he tried engaging her on the class through calling her for recitation. She broke down that day so he just thought she was sick and got her sent to the infirmary.

Now that he thinks about it... Oh shit... It was the day he asked Lesley out after being a chicken and tip toeing around her for years. She vomited that day... from pain and disgust of him, her mate, having someone that isn't her. Gusion felt nauseous at the thought.

Yet despite the conditions he gave her... it didn't removed the fact that she loves him. That she longed for him. And that it pains her to love him still.

That made his heart clench.

"Guin, I'm-"

"No. I lied..." Guinevere cuts him off and desperately held his cheeks. He held her cold fingers back, affectionately rubbing it to his warm cheeks. "I'm sorry. I'm so selfish but biting you that day... a part of me never regretted it. Having you beside me. Being able to hold your hands. Waking up in your presence. Being thoroughly showered by your affection and attention, I did not regret those one bit."

He smiles and planted a small kiss in her nose. "I know..." It's because I feel the same way despite the initial reason of our togetherness.

"Aren't you mad? I took everything from you, Gusion. Your future with Lesley. The right to choose on who you want to be with." She asks him hysterically and he hushed her.

"I was mad." He honestly told her. "Livid actually. There are no days I don't feel like telling you to leave me alone before." He sighs.

"But I am no longer that man." He looks at her eyes deeply and continued, "When I see you now, I looked past the fact that you bit me with no consent. There is nothing I can do about it, baby. I learned to live with it and it lead me to this. I'm happy with you. You don't have to think about my happiness being snatched away because of you because you're my happiness now, idiot." He rubbed their noses together, still looking at her.

"And we're fair now. I bit you this time, didn't I? I did this out of my own volition and will."

Guinevere hiccups as he wiped her tears delicately.

"Are you sure? You didn't bite me because you know I'll die?"

"Honestly, love. I bit you to save you and myself. I can't live without you. I wasn't lying on that. I wasn't able to save you in the past life... this time I'll be your knight and shining armor. My services are all yours. And seriously if you did end up dying on me, we're going to end up like Romeo and Juliet because I'll follow you to the end of the world again."

"I didn't die, remember?"

His eyes softened. "Yes. I was roaming in heaven you know, trying to find you. Lo and behold, I found you in Earth alive still."
