Dominari in Timore (BrOhm)

Chapter 9

(Bryce's POV)

As soon as we walked back into my room, Ohm pulled up his mask to reveal his still amazing eyes. I couldn't help but stare at him, how his eyes lit up every now and then, how he had a small smirk on his lips at the moment. His shirt hugged him perfectly, showing off his muscles every time he moved. Ohm must've noticed me staring because he turned to face me, making me blush slightly.

"Bryce can I ask you something?" Ohm suddenly spoke, getting slightly closer to me. I nodded.

"After you finished today, you seemed a bit off. I mean, I understand being upset and all, especially with your powers. But it almost seemed like something more than that. What's bothering you?" His voice had gotten quieter as he spoke. I lowered my head, a frown making its way onto my face. How had he known? I gave a small sigh before replying.

"You got me. It's just; I guess I'm not sure I'm cut out for this. What if I can't learn how to control my powers? What if I don't become this amazing person that everyone expects me to be? I'm afraid I'm going to let them down, and that is the worst possible thing I can imagine. You guys have done so much for me, and I want to be able to live up to what you guys want, but I'm terrified of never getting there. I don't want all this to be in vain, and yet it looks almost certain that that's how it will end up. I just want to be good enough." I finished my rant with a small tear running down my cheek. While I was talking, I hadn't even noticed that Ohm had come face to face with me. He reached a hand up, lightly brushing the tear away with his thumb.

"Bryce, how could you ever think that?" Ohm stated in a soft voice, "I don't know about the others for sure, but I know that I will always be proud of you no matter what. In the short amount of time that I've actually gotten to spend with you, I have come to see you as one of the strongest people I know. With everything that you've been through, I'm sure I would've gone crazy by this point. But you, you are strong. And not only that, but you are so kind and considerate to others. You care more for others than you do for yourself. And if nothing else, then that is the only thing you need Bryce, and that is what makes me proud of you." As Ohm finished he slowly lowered his head down to mine, stopping about an inch from my lips. I was sure I was blazing red by this point; a few more tears had made their way down my face when Ohm had said what he did. My heart pounded in my chest roughly, my breathing heavy.

"I'm not going to let anyone interrupt us this time." Ohm whispered, his breath warm against my face. Before I had a chance to answer, he placed his lips on mine, moving slowly and a bit unsurely at first. My brain froze and turned to mush, but that didn't stop me from closing my eyes and kissing him back gently. I felt him smile into the kiss lightly, moving his arms to my waist. His lips were warm and chapped, but I wasn't paying attention to that. Ohm tilted his head slightly as I carefully put my arms around his shoulders, one of my hands making its way into his hair. In all honesty, the kiss was the only thing in the world that felt right to me. It was slow, and passionate, our lips moving in sync.

Ohm partially pulled away, but kept his forehead on mine. Both of our breathing was ragged and uneven, and Ohm had his eyes closed. I couldn't help the wide grin that spread across my face as I too closed my eyes.

"So I take it the feeling was mutual?" Ohm said quietly. I gave a low chuckle.

"Just shut up and do it again." And instantly he captured my lips again.

Mini had walked in on us during our little make out session, but honestly, I didn't mind that much. In fact, I was kind of relieved that Ohm and I wouldn't have to hide, whatever it was we had. I wasn't sure if we were classified as together, but if I had to guess, my answer would probably be yes, we were.
