I slowly took my hand to my mouth and closed my eyes. I was really going to do it. My hand reached my mouth, when suddenly my door was opened. Before I realized what was going on, I was tackled to the ground and all the seeds fell out of my mouth before I could swallow them.
I looked up and looked at Leonard’s face. He hugged me tightly and I heard him crying. I cried too.
“I’m sorry.”, he whispered, “I’m so sorry I left you alone.”
I didn’t say anything, just hugged him back.
After several minutes we stopped hugging and looked at each other’s face.
“Why are you here?”, I asked carefully.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. “I’ve seen your message, and I answered, and called, but it seemed like your phone was turned off, and…and… I had a feeling that something was wrong and so I came here as fast as I could. And right on time…”, he paused, “God, Aiden…”
“I’m sorry.”, I whispered and looked away.
“Don’t be.”, he said and with one hand he made me look at him again. He had stopped crying and his face came near to mine and before I was able to realize what he was doing, he kissed me.
My mind stopped for a second and my heart was racing. I kissed him back. He tasted wonderful, so much better than I could have expected.
We stopped kissing.
“I love you, Aiden. I can’t live without you.”, he said.
I couldn’t believe he was really saying that. “I love you too.”, I replied.
“I’ll never leave you alone again.”, he told me before he kissed and hugged me again.

“Thank you.” I whispered after a while.  We had been laying in my bed cuddling. “Thanks for rescuing me.”
Leonard closed his eyes. “It’s good to hear that you’re thankful.”
“I am because I found out that you love me too, I never thought you could.”
“I love you longer than you know. I was trying to deny it, but my heart was screaming for you and then I broke up with my boyfriend because I thought everything else wouldn’t be fair.”
“Am I your boyfriend now?”, I asked.
“Do you want to be?”
I nodded. “Yes.”, then I kissed him.
This was the best moment in my whole life, I felt so much luck and kissing him was just what I wanted to do until the end of time.
“You’re my hero.”, I whispered against his lips, “I love you.”
