The Enigma's Lover (PoohPavel AU 18+)

CHAPTER 32

TIN

I only heard Vel's voices when we were at the hot air balloon because no one else is close to us. But when we get down and walk among a crowd of people, everyone's voice comes to my brain. It becomes so loud and overwhelming that my head feels like it is about to explode.

With a lot of difficulties, we somehow manage to get back to our room. I barely can walk because I feel so much pain and my whole body trembles so bad, Vel has to carry me so I won't fall on the street.

Even when we were alone inside our room, I still could hear the voices, loud and clear like it's coming from all over near me.

"Make them stop, please... they are too loud!" I'm begging even though I don't know who is loud or even where all these voices come from.

"Tin... look at me, just look at me..." Vel forced me to look at him "Contretate on me and only listen to my voice."

When he said that, suddenly I could hear it, the cleanest voice among all others.

"I love you, Tin, I love you so much..."

It's Vel's voice but he didn't say it with his mouth.

"Can you hear me? Can you hear me say I love you?"

The longer I listen to his voice, the more I only listen to his voice, the other voices gradually disappear.

"I wonder if you know that I love you so so much..."

"I know, I can hear you and I know, I know you love so much..." I answered him. The other voices completely disappear by the time I answer him "And I love you too..."

He hugged me with a relieved face when he heard my answer.

"It's not loud anymore..." I told him.

"Oh, thank God..." he said while caressing my hair and back "It's ok now, you are ok now..."

VEL

What just happened to Tin? None of us can understand it. Why did he suddenly have my ability?

An hour after it happened, he completely lost my ability and can't even hear my thoughts anymore.

We were both lying on the bed, while he tried to regain his strength that was drained thanks to a horde of thoughts that suddenly invaded his brain.

"Is that how it felt to have your ability? All those loud voices coming to you without you can filter them or stop them."

"More or less. I was like that when I'm a kid. My parents and P'Sai trying so hard to teach me how to control my ability while they themselves doesn't have any. It took a lot of time, patience, and effort, until I could fully control it. But even now, every time I feel a surge of negative emotion, I will still lose control of my ability too."

"Hmm... I can imagine your parents and brother also doing the same thing to you to calm you down."

I smile "They did, when I'm younger and can't control my ability yet, they always make me focus on them and their thoughts so I can focus my ability better. They did a lot of research on telepathy to find out how to deal with me. There was a time when I felt really bad for them, they were kind enough to adopt me but all I did was become a burden for them. But when I say it to them I can feel how sad they were. My mom said you are our son, of course we will do anything for you. That's when I realize how much they sincerely love me and how lucky I am to be able to become their son."

He smiled too, then hugged me closer. "I also feel lucky knowing you are here with me when it happened."

"But... Tin..." I tried to ignore the elephant in the room but it's just too obvious that I don't think I can ever ignore it "How did you suddenly have my ability?"
