Beautiful Tragedy

Part 14

To say Ming felt relieved talking to his family would be understatement. He felt the joy he never felt before, he felt more alive than he ever did. It was surreal. He realized how much he missed this, Nate telling him about her randoms, Mark telling him about Pring, Max about his favorite cartoons and mom making yummy foods for them.

Deep down he was glad that Kit talk some sense to him and he realized he was right, these little things matters to him more than he could think of. He was also relieved Kit wasn't there because as much as he appreciate his efforts he needed some alone time with his family. He needed to feel normal without his brain bursting all the negative thoughts and his fears consuming him.

Sometimes, he wishes his brain would shut up and start trusting Kit completely. There was something about him, his eyes, his softness, his warmth that Ming craves yet he felt so scared. He didn't want to get hurt and hurt his family too.

"Ming, look what Tom is doing" He was brought back in reality by Max jumping on his lap excitedly. He smiled and looked at the TV in time to see Tom holding a bucket for Jerry full of ice. He chuckled seeing Max watching anxiously.

"OHHH, do you think Jerry will freeze?" Ming mocked and Max shook his head rapidly.

"No way, he is too smart for that" Max defended him.

"Come on, See how Tom will kill him" Ming challenged and Max looked at him.

"You will see how Jerry will win" Max challenged back.

"Bet?" Ming extended his hand and Max placed his own. "Bet".

Ming laughed hugging him closer knowing he will lose his bet, he already know Jerry will win cause that's what always happened but he wanted to make his brother happy and it was worth it when it ended and Max cheered loudly sticking his tongue at Ming teasing him who laughed out loud.

Kit came just in time to hear their laughter and his heart swell, his eyes met Ming's who passed him a grateful smile and he shook his head going towards his room.

Maybe he will succeed in breaking Ming's walls.
