First, only, and last time

.13.

They arrived in the glade.

- Do you see this place? I used to come and find peace here when my parents lived here.

Jake remained silent, contenting himself with observing the surroundings.

- It was different in daylight, but still calm.

- What did you come here to do?

- To read mostly.

- Of course.

A smile appeared on Jake's face, and it made one appear on his too.

- Heeseung, why did you take me there?

- I do not know.

- Do you come here often?

- I came back to it recently for the first time since I met you, a few nights ago.

Jake didn't add anything, Heeseung settled down in the tall grass patting the ground at his side to tell him to do the same.

So Jake installed.

The two didn't say a word, staring silently at the night sky.

There were no stars, it was a dark night.

Not even the moon honored them with her presence.

- Jake, talk to me, whatever you want.

- What ? For what ?

- You seem to need to express yourself, am I wrong?

- Yes and no, need? Not really.

Heeseung nodded slowly.

- There's only one thing that comes to mind.

Heeseung gulped, eyes still looking up.

- Heeseung, why? For once spare me the talk.

He knew, no need to read his mind, he knew what he was asking.

- I don't know, I did it, that's all, it was impulsive.

- Really ?

He thought back to the sensation that had brought Jake's lips on his.

Yes it was impulsive.

But, it had triggered him.

More than he could have imagined.

- Yes, I apologize for that too.

Jake's icy hands had brushed his face before holding him firmly turning him towards him.
No possible reaction time that his lips had found again those of Jake.

His gaze had finally let go of the sky.

But his eyes remained wide open, amazed.

And the coldness of Jake's lips leaves him.

- Heeseung, you really need to stop thinking that I'm waiting for your apologies for anything. And start to forgive yourself.

He was stunned.
His mind turned upside down.

- But...

-Sshh , you came here to be quiet, so be it.

- But Jake-

Those lips cut him again, this time a little more violently, but for less time.

And he was silent.

But his mind was spinning.

He couldn't take his shocked gaze away from Jake.

Why?

A simple question he was dying to ask him.

- For what ? Why not ?

Would he accidentally share that thought with him?

- Why not ! Kissing the person you have feelings for is what mortals do, right? After all, it's all about spending your time reading novels, maybe I am wrong.

- Jake, what are you talking about.

- It's time for you to leave the love stories from your books and start your own now.

He didn't know what to answer.

Jake had brought his face closer to his, without there being any contact between them.

- You say that you will never take anything from me again, but, you took my heart Heeseung, and my body asks for compensation.

He planted his amber eyes in Jake's emeralds, and all his doubts, all his questions, melted away.

- Of course, my love, my heart is yours.

                     
.THE END.
