𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒. Michael Kaiser

16. Listen

Listen to me one more time, boy
And tell me that I'll make it through, yeah
—————★—————

Even if she couldn't see it. She wasn't looking close enough to see the way he looked at her like she was the most important person in the world. She wears she wasn't. She knows right now she doesn't deserve this kindness she so willingly embraces. His hands on her, their bodies so close.

She could feel his soft breaths on her skin. She really fucking likes this boy. She was praying to the Gods of this forsaken earth that he would find it in her house to like her too. He was an undeniably beautiful sight. But he felt so out of reach despite the closeness of their skin. She couldn't run her hands up his arm, but he wouldn't be there with her.

He wouldn't be there waiting for her like she would have waited for him. Why? Because he didn't love her like she did. He wants to tell her it's okay — that he forgives her, but he doesn't. He says it in his words, but she knows she's broken something she can't just push together carelessly. It's truly unfortunate, but it's harder. It's deathly tiring.

"I'm sorry." Like a sailing child lost at sea. The words were different this time. He heard her, truly heard her. Truly heard the words leaving her lips, heard how horrible she felt. He knows she's sorry. He knows she loves him; he's always known. Everybody in this world has known she loved him. Nobody else was crazy enough to abandon everything just to make up with someone

Nobody was as hopelessly idiotic as her. Nobody would be able to evoke such emotions from his heart like she did. There was nobody in this world like Nikita Moriah. If she wanted something, she would have it by all means. If she loved something, she didn't. If she loved someone, she sacrificed worlds for them. "I forgive you." Her face lit up in happiness.

Joy, pure joy at finally having exactly what she wanted – him. "Well, we should get on the plane, then?" He blinks at her sudden attitude change. Noa just sighs in defeat at the girl who's come to be somewhat like a daughter he's never had time for. "Kids are so much effort." The man with snow for hair once again sighs in defeat. "Oh, come on, you're a great father!"

Even his stoic expression managed to break a little at her words into what most would see as a smile. Everyone else saw more than just that. An unbelievable display of affection towards some kid he barely knows. Michael is astonished at how similar she still is. The same way she makes other people feel. She's like a siren in that way.

She lures people in too deep that no matter what, they can't get over her. It's only not so evil because she becomes uncontrollably attached to them, too. She relies on others in a way she hates herself for. Except for him, she's never in her life regretted loving him. She just regrets not telling him.

Truth be told, there's much confusion on the idea that she ever will. She wants to. She wants to hold his hand for the rest of her life like so. Will she? If she never even gets him to love her, will she be able to deal with it? If she never comes to realise how deep his infatuation for her really runs.

Will Nikita really be okay? Will Nikita be okay staying Nikita Moriah for all her life? Nikita Kaiser, it felt strange on her tongue whenever she would mumble it. She couldn't imagine her with anybody else. Now, or in the long run. It has always been him that she loved, and she would wait another eight years for him.

She would travel across the world if it was all for him. She did. "Yeah, let's go, you psycho." Benedict – a team member she's become weirdly familiar with. He's what she can't help but say is a friend. She's never understood how nice it is to have real friends. Especially Ness.

Especially Ness for letting her sit next to Kaiser despite his... obsession. She's not one for sharing, to be honest. She's a selfish person when it comes to love. "I really hate planes, by the way." Kaiser looks at her in sudden annoyance. "Why?" It's not as if he's actually mad. She can tell.

By now, she can read him better than anyone else. "Why I did this? Hm, because I'm obsessed with you." That playful smile on her lips as those awfully dangerous words release themselves from it. "You.." She rests her head back as she puts a lollipop in her mouth. She offers him one, "apparently it helps."

He doesn't hesitate. He doesn't flinch when his hand grazes hers, and the thought comforts her. Because he's hers again, and this time, she'll never let go.
