I'm feeling dizzy and it's probably because of the loss of blood but still I dragged my bruised and wounded body. Do I have a specific place to go. No, 3 years ago I lost my home Nicholas. I was planning to run away and look for him but I just can't do that, because of my responsibility in the Gang.
Everything changes when the leader gets killed in one of our operations. There has been debate on who will take over, according to hierarchy it should be the second in command which is me but Bison didn't agree to it, I guess this is the only thing I'll be thankful for. And as a custom we need to fight in order to get that position, I am confident that I can beat the life out of him but if I'd do that. I'll be forever tied in that Gang. I purposely drank a medicine that would make me dizzy in the fight, and as I predicted he won.
But the son of a bitch didn't stop on punching and kicking me even if I'm almost out of breath. That the reason why I have few limbs broken. My face unrecognizable and my blood dripping out of my body. I know it's only a matter of time before I die I can almost feel it, I looked at the stars that night and for the first time prayed. "Just let me at least return this ring to him. It's the only memory he has of his mom. At least let me return it to him." Then like a miracle I saw sign in one of the closed shops. "Fred's Bread" it made me happy. I gathered all of my remaining strength to walk to that store. I was at the door when everything turned black. This is my end.
I'm in hell I just know it, I can feel my body burning everything is hot and every part of my body aches. That is when my eyes snapped open, am I supposed to feel pain if I'm dead. I tried getting up but I can't, when I look down I was full of bandages I almost look like a mummy. My stomach growls at the sweet scent of bread and coffee. Yeah I did collapsed in front of the bakery, maybe the owner helped me.
"Hey anybody there?" Even speaking takes effort for me. The I heard something dropped on the floor. When the door opened I saw the only person in this world that I wanted to see ,his eyes are full of worry and it seems that he didn't even get a wink of sleep. He rushed to me and hugged me. I'm in pain but I don't care, the pain makes me realize that this is not one of my dream. Nicholas is really hugging me. "I was so afraid that I would loose you." He didn't change even a bit, he can still say that he's 20 years old and I'll still believe him.
"I'm a grass that's not easy to kill." I manage to answer him, he flicked my forehead. Happiness is visible in his eyes and he looks at me like I'm the most beautiful person the world, not caring if I'm full of wounds and bruises.
"I prayed every night for this to happen. I'm beyond happy your here." I touched his cheeks and brought his face close to mine, i peck a kiss on his lips. "You're real alright." He then carrassed my face. "You were unconscious for 2 days do you know that?" I shook my head. "No because I'm unconscious." He laughed at my joke.
"It's my turn now to take care of you for 24 years." He added.
"No, 24 years is not enough payment. I want us to be together until our last breath.
Timeskip
I fully recovered and when it's not painful to move I tried helping him, but he always told me to rest. We are now on his bake shop. People here are very nice and welcoming. "Your Fred right?" an old woman asked me, I nodded and she smiled. "Your husband must love you to name his business after you." I felt a wamt sensation in my body. "Do you know that there are a lot of guys trying to hit on him but he declined all of them, he even told us that his heart is already married to you." I gave that old woman 4 extra breads.
"I saw that." He crossed her arms at me.
"I'm happy talking to her that's why I gave her extra bread." He clicked his tongue but didn't say anything. "Can we close the store early Nicholas?" He raised his eyebrows at me and then smiled. "Definitely, I'm planning to take you out on a date as well and this date doesn't have any time limit."
I didn't care if there were customers in the shop, I grabbed his waist and kissed him right there and then.
