DESTROYED《 ☆ Miles E42 x reader ☆ 》

Our present

"There's mi estrella"

I puff a breath out from exhaustion and the cold weather outside. Plopping into my seat at the little table inside the very warm cafe that Miles wanted to meet at.

When I hadn't been responding like myself I assumed he thought I was about to ghost him and that's why he asked we meet up.

When his eyes meet mine they light up a fire in my chest when his glow with delight and peace, he must have really thought I was gonna disappear again.

"Hi to you too" he gestures to the seat infront of him with a playful gleam in his eyes and takes a sip of his coffee. He always did seem like the coffee type of person.

"Why'd you wanna meet so suddenly? You have another art work?"

"Of you? I could open a whole new museum filled with them in it. But, I wanted to see what was up with you"

"Nothing"

"You lying to me mi corazón?" He smiles at me playfully and how would of guessed he knew exactly as to why I was down. I avoided most people to just avoid this specific question. But the words feel like they're bobbing in my throat. Wanting to come out and tell him that I feel terrible about loosing my bestfriend because I couldn't love him the way he loved me or that I did it because I loved Miles more than anyone and can't pretend and marry someone while my heart was with another.

So I keep it short and simple.

"I broke up with Ryu a week ago" I look away not entirely sure what reaction I was truly looking for.

"Are you okay?" That was definitely not one of them.

"Well yes and no"

"Go on"

"I feel so bad because he loved me the one a person realizes that their ready to spend the rest of their life with that person. I feel bad that it turns out I'm not his person"

"And you're happy that?" His eyes look intrigued as the curiosity in his bright eyes. Like sun kissed lenses that stare at me.

I look away though before I get suck in the trance that is him. And take a sip of my coffee to distract myself.

"That now I can freely be in love with who I want to be in love with" I put the cup down and make eyes contact with him once again.

"Who I am already in love with"

His pupils visibly largen and for once in our lives I see the color form on his cheeks a bit before his eyes smile then his mouth does. A signature grin that made hearts throb.

"And so you can breathe again?"

"Yeah....I'm getting used to it now" he smiles wider at me.

"Do you wanna get some fresh air? It's late now I got somewhere we can head to?"

I stand ready for him as he grabs hold of my hand and I remember how much I missed his touch on my skin.

Interlocked hands like our hearts

<<<<☆>>>>

We're outside now on the opposite side of the cafe along the sides of a park. The kids have long left, their laugher and joy following along with them. People barely lingered around here and if they were I hadn't really noticed them. The night unfolds in shaded of twilight where it makes the star pop and look as if you could touch them, the bricked pathway with light on the sides that guided our steps as we walked around in humming silence, and honestly it looks beautiful.

The bushes filled with white roses look blue now under the moonlight as well as the lake far by here too, thus the reason why it looked like the stars were so close from their reflection on its surface. The stone slabs on the floor give us options where to walk on, one of the options being towards an extremely enchanting garden cement gazebo that was lined with small light and a bench in the middle with vines hanging from the ceiling and gorgeous designs on the pillars. We talked and laughed at random things and I almost forgot we came here right after everything we've been through.

"Do you ever feel you're reliving this moment" he asks randomly

"Like deja vu?"

"No just the feeling of being in the present with someone and in this case, you. It feels like deja vu but not at the same time"

"Being around me gives you deja vu? So like right now?"

"Yeah but it's more complicated than that"

"I get it. It's weird really but it makes me remember how we were" we fall into a silence and stare out into space around us, our energies fusing and in our own minds.

"It's beautiful" I whisper out looking out at the scenery before us. Appreciating the little bits of life.

"Yeah it really is" Miles whispers back.

"The roses or the moon?" I curiously ask

"You"

He looked at me so intensely I thought from how hard he's looking at me he'd burn my face with his heated gaze from how warm my face was getting and my heart starting to pick up, it never did that before like this. We stayed quiet for a few seconds before I smile.

"You still got a way with words huh?"

"And you still got away with my heart" that made mine speed up.

"Miles..."

"You aint gotta say it, I know. But y/n hear me out. I know it probably hurts when you ended things with Ryu but don't let that get in the way of what your heart truly wants. I know what mine wants, and it's been wanting you for the past 8 years"

"What are you saying"

"I love you. You might as well keep my heart forever because there is nothing else but the love I have for you in it" I feel my tears prick and I face away from him.

"I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"That I ran away. That I couldn't just face you and deal with our problems. That I didn't tell you sooner that I actually did and still do love you"

His hand makes it's way to my face and cups my cheek with love and all gentleness that made my heart race. A feeling I've longed for. He leans in to my face and linger like a ghost on my lips waiting. Waiting for my answer.

"Be mine"

And so I kiss him with the yearing desire I have always had for Miles. The joy in my heart burning with pleasure and I realize how long I've been waiting to have him back.

"I always was"
