Seele

It's been years since that kiss with Bronya. Well, I mean not years, but 2 days is still a long time... Not being able to see Bronya is torture. The feeling of her soft and puffy lips on mine, the taste of the renowned wild herb soup in Belobog flooding my tastebuds, still plague my mind. I touched my lips gently, blushing every single time when a reminder of Bronya flashes through my mind.

"Do you know what the fucking consequences are?! All the damn citizens of Belobog, from the underword and the overworld, are fucking gossiping about you both. Please, the mighty aeons from the universe, pity us and lend us a hand..." Oleg has that exasperated look on his wrinkled face and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty. I rubbed my hand on my neck, the anxiety suddenly getting to me.

"I-I'm sorry, Oleg." I looked at the empty desk in front of me absentmindedly. I simply can't regret kissing my Bronya though. Mine. I felt my brows furrow when I remembered myself bulldozing towards Bronya without caring about who saw us. I covered my face with my hands, rocking my chair back and forth. What will happen to Bronya now?! What if I got her into trouble and she gets removed as the supreme guardian...?! I gasped when I visualized Bronya's lonely shadow, haunting the streets by herself. I shook my head hardly. No. No. It won't happen. Even if it does, I'll be there for her. With her.

But what if Bronya h-hates me...?

I heard Oleg sigh. "Let's just hope the citizens are supportive. Don't blame me and say I didn't warn you to be careful. Love is worth chasing, Seele. But it's up to you to decide at what extent." I heard his bones clack when he stretched his head after taking his oversized duffel bag, walking towards the door.

"I promise I won't mess this up, Oleg." I sounded determined, and I really hope I am. To protect Bronya. The wildfire.

"I might not be the true leader of Wildfire, but I still worry about you youngsters... Natasha's always busy in the clinic, and Sampo's a really random person. Hook's too young for this, and now you're falling in love in the wrong place wrong time." He sighed and waved goodbye. "My old bones can't take this anymore soon. It's expected for me to retire, isn't it?" I heard his sad sigh leaving his mouth after the door clanked close.

I looked at the empty space, now lacking the warmth of Oleg. I felt my unshed tears threatening to spill. He was indeed my father figure after all. As an orphan, he was the kind, welcoming and loving dad to me. I clasped my hands together and curled my fingers tightly, afraid of letting go of myself. That first day where I met Bronya... It was because of Oleg, after all. I have to make him proud... I bumped my forehead against my hands shakily.

Bronya, I will come for you.
