Tortured Trust

20

Cry's pov
I was sitting on the edge of my hospital bed. I'd been instructed to rest but couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened. I couldn't stop thinking about how lifeless and dead Jack looked as they carried him away. I could only hope they saved him on time.

"Cry? What are you doing up? You should be laying down and resting," Felix's tired voice said as he woke up. He'd been sleeping in a chair by my side and refused to leave me alone.

"Couldn't. Too much stuff on my mind," I mumbled, still caught up in some thoughts. I felt warm arms wrap around me and my face was buried into soft fabric. I snaked my arms around Felix's shoulders and took in the sweet scent of him.

"What if he doesn't make it?" I squeaked out. Tears slid down my face as I pulled away and looked into Felix's light blue eyes. He gave a weak smile and pulled me back into his chest, letting his shirt soak up my tears.

"Don't worry. The doctors here are the best around and Jack got to them as fast as he could. They'll fix him and bring him back. So don't worry about him okay. You worry about yourself," he said with a sigh.

I nodded into his chest, unable to speak as Felix rubbed circles on my back to calm me down. I heard the door open behind me and turned around to see Ohm in the doorway, a sheepish look on his unmasked face. I met his hazel eyes and didn't know to trust him or not but I knew it was one of them.

"Hey ah, I know you probably don't trust me but ah. That bargain was all to get those criminals and you two to a place we could get you better. It required me to make a deal with them and you guys happened to be the bet," Ohm paused for me to respond but when I didn't he continued.

"I saw the fear in your eyes. I'd never seen your face and for that to be the first time it was horrible. And I couldn't do anything to help you besides give them more time to... you know. I... I'm sorry I didn't try to do anything sooner. The warehouse just wasn't a safe place to try to break into."

I stopped Ohm by putting a hand on his shoulder. He didn't seem like he'd realised I'd stepped forward as his eyes shot up to me. I gave a reassuring smile and his frown turned to a small smile.

"You did your best. Don't beat yourself up for it. We're safe now and those monsters are in jail. Thank you," I said calmly. He nodded and gave Felix a quick nod before turning to leave.

"Hey ah, we should meet up some time for a bite to eat or something. You seem like a chill dude Cry. I've already met Felix so I know he's chill," Ohm said with a smile.

"Sounds cool dude. We could go to our place and have a video game marathon. Felix sucks so he's no competition," I said, earning a whine from Felix.

"Oh I know he sucks but sure. I'll talk later and Felix, Evan wants you down at the station when you're free," Ohm said before leaving. Felix gave a slight sigh before giving a smile in my direction.

I walked back over to him, stopping a few feet away. He tilted his head slightly and grabbed my hand, pulling me into his embrace once again. I giggled and looked up at him, meeting his caring gaze. I felt safe with him.

I realised how much I cared for Felix after I'd been captured again, through all the pain and torture it was always the thought of Felix that kept me going, that prevented me from giving up. Staring into his eyes was the best feeling I'd ever had with him so far and I never wanted that feeling to leave.

"Cry?" He whispered. I gave a slight hum to show I was listening. "I have to go to the station soon. But there's one thing I want to give you before I do."

I gave him a confused look before something brushed my lips. I felt tingles down my back and leant in more, the feeling turning into sparks of heat that made my body melt and my heart flutter. The feeling only faded when the touch left my lips and I stared into Felix's stunning eyes.

I couldn't help myself but want the feeling again and pressed my lips against his. His arms tightened around my waist as mine found their way around his neck. I felt complete in this one moment. I felt safe in warm arms and loved with soft lips. This was the best moment I'd had with Felix and I didn't want it to ever end.

But it did, and although the feeling stayed it was only minor to the original. I smiled up at the male that held me in his arms. I smiled at the man I realised I loved so dearly. I smiled at the person I always wanted by my side.

"I've got to go to the station now but I'll be back as soon as I can," Felix said softly. I barely heard him over my pounding heart beat and all I could do was nod in response. He gave me a quick peck on the lips before his warmth was gone and left me feeling cold.

I spun around to see him stepping through the door and couldn't stop myself from running to him and embracing him in one last hug before he was gone. He chuckled and returned my gesture, giving my small body a gentle squeeze before we both pulled away.

"I-I love you," I stuttered out, wanting him to know exactly how I felt.

"I love you too," he said before he was gone. The warm and safe feeling was gone but my racing heart told me it had once been there. How quickly you could miss someone when you'd only just seen them is like torture in itself. All I wanted was to be close to him but I was alone now.

"Rest. When I wake up he might be back," I whispered to myself. Climbing back into the uncomfortable bed and hoping to speed time up so I could see Felix again.

Fuck editing this time. And I couldn't remember the original so this is shorter and weirder. Eh
