My only source of light

[62]

Everything was painful. His chest hurt, even his head hurt, most likely from the loss of blood. But still, he didn't care, especially when small but strong arms were wrapped around him.

Senju's hug was strong, she wanted to show Mikey how scared she was that something bad would happen to him. Just the thought of Mikey giving up on her scared the girl.

Senju had seen the facial changes of his face as if he wanted to give up everything and leave the world. And this thing scared her so much that neither of them wanted to discuss something like this.

All that mattered was that the boy was breathing and that he was in her arms. Mikey tried to make his arms hug as strong as the girl's but the blood loss from his body had made him weaker.

The girl realized this and pulled away slightly, not completely but her arms hanging around him like a safety belt.

It didn't pull you down, but it was there whenever you needed to stay afloat. In a way, Mikey felt the same way about the girl.

Senju was the one who brought him down at times when he least expected it. And this thought no longer scared him, on the contrary he felt so good to know that she would be there, at every step of his life.

Because Mikey was going to somehow make Senju always be there.

Small hands gently pushed him to the bed. The boy was left guided by them until his head arrived lying on the soft pillow.

"You scared me. Do not think I'll let you do that ever again, do you understand?!"

Mikey smiled at these words, already knowing he could not get over them.

"I'll just do what you tell me to do."

When she heard that from the boy's mouth her cheeks reddened so much that even Mikey noticed it. Her plump, red cheeks were so pretty that Mikey wanted to tug at them. But he didn't do that because he knew the girl would get upset, instead he just smiled at her reaction.

Senju's reaction gave Mikey the confidence to do what he hadn't even realized he wanted to do until then. But now? Now everything was different between them.

When the two of them were so close and the desire to hold the girl was so strong he didn't know what to do. But when Mikey saw the girl's tears streaming down her fluffy cheeks his heart began to ache.

The only thing that calmed his heart was Senju's smile and the way she looked down at him. Without waiting and without thinking if it was good or not, Mikey grabbed the back of the girl's neck and with one smooth movement he pulled her towards him.

When their lips touched neither of them knew how they managed not to do so sooner. The kiss was not soft or cute, it was a hard one that showed the desperation and desire of both for the other.

As they kissed Mikey made sure he wiped the girl's tears away, making sure he wouldn't make her cry because of him again. And if someone else made her cry, that person would pay for just trying.

Neither of them knew who had been the first to back off but one moment they were kissing and the next a small distance, but too much for the boy's pleasure, had been put between them.

Senju was looking at him with her big beautiful eyes as if she wanted to do bad things to him and Mikey wasn't going to say no.

Most likely the girl realized this too because she put her hand on his chest and gently pushed him towards the pillow. Until that moment the boy didn't even realize that he had leaned on his elbows so he could be closer to the girl.

"You just got shot a few hours ago, you have to take it easy!"

"I'm fine."

Even though he told her that, the girl still didn't think he was feeling well and too much pressure on the wound wasn't going to do the boy any good.
