I think my sanity might have faded a little because- tell me why my feet think it's a good idea to check on Kyian?
It's been days and Silas barely had any time for Kyian- especially with the sudden increase of patients at the hospital.
Ki was healed enough to walk again and he's been staying in Len's room ever since.
And I felt like I owe this to Len. I can't even do anything right ever since he's gone. The least I could do was take care of Ki.
I let out a deep breath, releasing my anxiety and knocked twice on the door.
"Mate, I swear if this is about my mental health again-" Ki stopped short when he looked up from his book.
I gave him a small unsure smile.
A sense of nostalgia hit me immediately. I could see myself laughing with him as we lay on his bed, talking about everything at 12am. I could see myself dancing in the bathroom with him before we brushed our teeths. I could hear myself giggle as he attacked me with hugs and kisses.
I wish I could go back in time to experience all of it again.
"Oh. I thought you were Roman." he mumbled, pulling a sloth to his chest.
The sloth. The one Len won from the carnival he took me months ago- it felt like so long ago. Despite the fact that he won it for me, I insisted that he kept the sloth to remind him of me when I'm in my room, just like how Lenpacca reminds me of him when he's not around.
I said nothing. Kyian didn't seem mad but he didn't look like he wanted me there either.
"Uhm, do you need something?" he said, confused.
I swallowed. "I'm sorry." I blurt. "I'm sorry for pulling you into all this mess-"
"No. Wait, stop. Stop apologising." he cut in with an apologetic smile. "Just don't apologise."
"But-"
"I'm supposed to be sorry. The other day, I didn't mean it- what I said. I just- I was angry, so so angry and you were just there." he rushed out.
He shook his head as I rubbed his eyes. "I'm so sorry, Lilah. For everything I've said to you."
I offered him a soft smile. "It's okay."
"It's not. I was wrong..about you. You existing in my life is the best thing that's ever happened to me. You gave me something worth it- a family. You've been nothing but like a big sister to me since we first met and I love you so much."
A choked laugh escaped my lips as I walked to him. I pulled him into a hug, carefully, avoiding his still healing wounds.
"I love you too, Ki." I said, kissing the top of his head.
We eventually pulled away with tears glistening on our faces. I've never been happier at that moment.
We were silent again for a few minutes and I closed my eyes for a long moment
"Lily?"
"Yeah, Ki?" I asked, my eyes still closed.
"Do you think Sol will teach me how to fight- well, self-defence?"
I opened my eyes. "You wanna train?"
"Yeah. I mean- Ru.. If I've been able to fight, maybe they wouldn't have taken-"
"Ki, stop. What happened to Ru, they would've taken him away either way. Zeke was a good fighter and...look what happened to him."
"I know." he whispered. "That's why I should learn how to fight. I wanna take them down, Lily. I wanna- I..for Zeke and ... Len." he added with a soft whisper.
