Scarlet Cyan (MLBB Hanabi x Ling Shorts) REVISING!

Tired

"Whoa! Cyan Finch, you alright? I almost didn't recognize you" Hanabi said, feigning a fake gasp. Ling let out a tired yawn as he gaze at her through his tired eyes, "Is that so? What a shame." he simply muttered, yawning for the second time. "You look exhausted, wait- are those dark circles?" she ask, examining him closely, "I'm glad you notice, Sherlock!" Ling sarcastically replied as he move a little bit from her, Hanabi cocked her head and then hold Ling's face with both of her hands, pulling him close to her. He was startled by the sudden touch from her, "H-hey! What do you think you're doing?" he stuttered, his eyes widening, and gently put his hands around her wrist to remove it. "Hold on, Cyan Finch. I'm not going to do anything weird to you" Hanabi calmly said, firmly holding his face near to her. Ling was about to rebut but didn't utter a word instead, and slowly remove his hands from her wrist. The ninja marksman let out a sigh "Gosh, Cyan Finch! You look so terrible!" she uttered and lets go of his face, "when was the last time you slept?" she spoke as she still examines his tired feature. "Or do you even sleep?" she added, sternly raising an eyebrow at him. The nimble assassin touches his cheeks, still feeling the warmth of her touch on his face. "I sleep when it's necessary, thank you for asking" he answered, turning his back from her. "I'll take my leave now if you will," he said, standing a gesture of walking away. "Oh no, you don't!" Hanabi voiced out, with her arm crossed on her chest. Ling halted from his feet and look over his shoulder, meeting her frowning look. "Why is that?" he said, completely turning his body to face hers. Hanabi didn't say anything but boldly grab his arms, "Huh?" he let out as he was being dragged by Hanabi. "You won't be leaving," she said, holding tightly his arms. "you're going to stay with me, whether you like it or not!" she said in a demanding tone. "And if I resist?" Ling asked, "I'll knock you out," she said, "... where are we going?" he ponders, not bothering to un-grip her hands. "To a quiet place."

Hanabi brought Ling to the place where they would 'coincidentally' meet, the place where a beautiful cherry blossom tree blooms. The place where they first met. "What are we doing here?" he asked, looking at the ninja who was already sitting under it. "Didn't I say that we're going to a quiet place?" she sighed, taking a nice breath. "Now come here!" she said, tapping her lap, "What?" Ling asked with his tone raising, "I said come here, don't make me repeat myself!" she voiced out, "I know you have a good hearing, and stop asking everything I do, you stupid wall walker!" she growls. "Well, if you only don't act like that, maybe I wouldn't ask about it!" he growled back, looking at her with slight irritation. "jUst shut up, you doof! J-just come here!" she said, slapping her lap again. "No!" he finalized. His tiredness caught up to him, and the assassin let out a small yawn. Hanabi pulled Ling from where she was by his arm, and made him rest his head on her lap, "The he-!" he complained, "Shush, take a break! You need it." she said in a gentle voice, as she was putting his head to her back to her thighs (cuz he kept trying to move it away). Ling was about to say a word but Hanabi beat him to it, "I know what you're gonna say, so don't say it!" she said, "Go sleep!" she added. "F-fine," he surrendered. Ling doesn't mind the idea of this, but he just never imagined that he would be in a state like this, for a minute he felt it was hard to sleep, but then his exhaustion finally gets through him and he passes out. Hanabi noticed this and smiled so tenderly as she softly caresses his head and hums a melodic tune. The cherry blossom petals flow as the gentle breeze passes by, and they stayed like that for a little long while.
