I leaned against the wall, Mint beside me. He had observed everything but had the decency to not comment on it...yet at least.
I couldn't stop my sobs and tears, I didn't want to be exorcized. It was such a mess and yet it was so simple. It all started with good intentions
"No need to cry, darling."
He suddenly spoke up a soft smile on his face.
"I'll get you out of this somehow."
He continued his smile starting to waver as if he too was doing his best to keep it together. Word after word, he spun a web, the evidence lining up more and more; he seemed to really mean it. He cared...but I doubted it in my frail heart."Why would you? Spare me your lies."
I didn't yell, my words were just bitter and miserable."Why would I not?"
His tone was surprisingly shaky, and his question sounded genuine. I couldn't do this, why did I feel for him?"It doesn't look good for us right now, but I'll find a way. I always do."
I could tell he was trying to convince himself.I didn't feel like replying, ashamed that I cared and that his every-second move pushed me away as much as it pulled me closer.
He really had to say all this as if I didn't already struggle enough with all my thoughts. Perhaps instead of burning in this pain, I should just hate him.
"Ya know, I didn't send it."
He stated, his shaky voice calming down and this certainly caused a reaction from me.
"Huh?""I didn't want Kou to have a reason to give the katana back to Teru."
He closed his eyes, smiling as if he was scared, otherwise tears would spill.
"Wait- y-you didn't send the video of me?!"
My tears had stopped, my voice laced with surprise."Of course not, I wouldn't want that for you. I just wanted to blackmail you with it."
He admitted chuckling.I stayed silent, I couldn't make sense of him. Yes, he doesn't hate me, but he himself always seemed to be his priority, never me. Yet, hadn't I done the same?
Mint took the cue and finally decided to drop the mysterious act and just explain, after all, it was now or never. We weren't getting out of this.
"Kou did ask me to make it but I never intended to send it to him.""Why?"
I asked, too tired to get angry.
"After all this, it just sounds stupid. Especially since it never looks like I care for you,"
He took in a shaky breath
"but truly I do.".....my heart ached. I wanted him along my side again so bad. He had saved me more than a few times now....'in his way'.
"I do so much, but it took me till I lost you to realize that. I thought I would be fine if I got my Human form back, but when I did....I didn't want to admit it to myself, because of how stupid it is, but you got me wishing I was a Mokke again. Even if it meant I would never be able to do this."
His lips pressed against mine; it was abrupt, he was so close, and I didn't mind. His lips gently travelled along mine, our noses touching, our breath hot. He led the way, and I followed along, his pace slow, almost teasing, making me yearn for more. It drew a soft whimper from me.
Just as I was lost in the moment- he pulled away.
It was so short-lived, sweet and chaotic; it was just like him."you idiot."
I sat with a soft smile.
"Tell me the truth from now on.""Only if you do the same~"
He replied holding out his pinky finger, a blush lingering on his cheeks.A relieved giggle escaped me as I intertwined mine with his, which was possible despite my restraints.
"Of course!"
