MESSING WITH THE WRONG MAN. (MxB) {Completed}

21. I KNOW I AM A JERK.

"Grace!!!!"

Scar shouted and quickly walked towards Grace who was standing there like a statue with a letter in his hand. Scar stood in front of him, towering over the little boy who was looking at him with eyes filled with fear. Scar was fuming in anger "Sca..Scar I was-" before the boy could complete his sentence Scar growled at him "who the hell gave you the right to enter my room?!"

Grace flinched a little when he heard his loud voice, Scar snatched the letter back from his hands and shoved it inside the box. "How dare you touch my stuffs? What do you think of yourself? Didn't your parents teach you basic manners?" but soon after completing his sentence Scar regretted it. They both stood there in a daze, as they both were shocked by his statement. For a while there was a pin drop silence in the room, the sound of their heart beats can be heard clearly. After a few seconds Scar saw a tear rolling down Grace's cheeks, well Grace tried his best to stop himself from crying but he failed miserably. He looked down at the floor and started crying, Scar could hear the sound of his sobbing.

Scar clenched his teeth due to regret and approached Grace to help him stop crying. He extended his hands towards his face slowly "Grace I-" but Grace quickly pried off the hands and gave him a look that was filled with disgust

"Don't touch me!! Y-you are always like this, selfish.. you a-are full of yourself, you don't a-actually care about anybody." he yelled at him "you can marry me forcefully, a-and can enter my room whenever you want... you can love me or hate me whenever you want a-and I shouldn't say anything or raise my voice wit-with you. But all I did was enter your room and touch that letter- it was not even intentionally. I just wanted to see you, you where not there yesterday when I came and in the morning also you were no where to be seen that's why I thought I should check your r-room" he said in between his sniffs and sobs and by now his face was a mess.

His face was red and was fully messed up with his tears, it was after a long time he cried like this. Maybe he was not able to handle all the pressure and when he heard the hateful words of Scar he was not able to control his emotions anymore. Scar was so heart broken by now, he didn't want to hurt him but whenever he gets angry even he himself cannot control his tongue. But when he saw his boy crying he felt really very sad and hurt for first time in a while. "Grace I didn't mean to-"

"I don't want to hear you. I know that you hate me *sniff* but you don't have to show it every time, its really hurtful to hear this." Grace said clearing his face with his sleeves.

"Grace don't say that, I don't hate you" Scar tried to explain but before he can continue his sentence Grace opened the door. "Don't worry, I can understand. Its not easy to love an orphan who have nothing with him, No wealth, no parents or no good looks anything. I know how realistic this world is, so don't worry to explain yourself. A-and I'm really sorry, to enter your room without your permission, I thought that now we are starting to accept each other we.." Grace started crying again and before he can make more mess out of himself he ran towards his room.

"Grace, come back. You are taking it in a wrong way." Scar yelled from his room but the boy already locked himself in the room. Scar shut his eyes in frustration "fuck" he scolded himself for hurting the little boy.

'oh man! everything was going nice. Then why I had to take this stupid decision? Shit! but I- I didn't want him to know.. about his mother's letters and also that I'm his sponsor. At least not now, I need time to get close enough to him to tell this but I guess.. I ruined everything. I literally hurt him, he looks really hurt. Scar you are a fucking bastard,a coward'

Grace entered his room shutting the door with a loud thud, and threw himself on the bed. He covered his face with a pillow so that he can stop the tears by flowing, by suffocating himself. He pressed the pillow as hard as possible but the tears were still flowing, and due to the pressure from the pillow he started choking because of the lack of oxygen. He removed the pillow and panted for a while, he lied on the bed staring at the ceiling huffing and puffing. It looked like the tears have stopped flowing. 'why am I crying so much? Is it because what Scar said...? But he had hurt me before as well, then why now? It really hurt me when he asked what rights do I have to enter his room, or touch his stuff. What does he think of himself? My parents hasn't taught me manners?

"Mom, dad can you see me from there? I'm sorry, I promised that I will be strong but in fact I myself know that I'm useless and worthless. I wish you where here to support me and to protect me, always laughing with me and letting me win. This world is so cruel for me, they don't let me win for the sake of my happiness like you people did, they don't care how I feel. They don't love me like you people, everybody hates me here. I miss you mom dad. I- I really do. If you where here no one would have dared to mess with me.... " and he started crying again.

"Even if they are not here, nobody would dare to mess with you... Because you are mine" Scar said with a deep voice. Grace got startled and got up from his bed to look at him, Scar was looking at him with a soft look. It was the first time Grace saw this kind of warm expression on his face, he stood up from the bed "why are you here? And who is yours?" he asked. Scar sighed and approached him "I said you. are. mine" he said with a firm voice. Grace backed off a bit "no I'm not" he said wiping his tears using his sleeves. Scar frowned and fished out a handkerchief from his pocket "cant you use a hanky or a tissue paper. You are not a kid anymore...." he handed him the handkerchief, Grace hesitated a bit but still snatched it from him and used it.

Scar looked at him with a faint smile "Grace, look baby I didn't wanted to be harsh with you... but that was something really private" he sighed in a deep sorrow and sat on the bed and patted the seat next to him indicating Grace to sit there. "I know, that was a letter from your old girl friend" he said as he sat next to Scar 5 inch apart from him. Scar raised his eyebrows in amusement "old girlfriend?" he asked. He didn't know that should he laugh at this allegation or should cry, he smiled faintly and said "Grace that was not- Grace all I want to say is that there are some secrets between us and I will tell you one day for real. But right now I'm not ready to tell you and even you are not ready to listen to it. We are accepting each other right now, so we should take thinks slowly." he explained him in a calm voice. Grace frowned a bit and didn't say anything, he just listened to him.

"Baby, I just don't want you to get hurt anymore. There are some reasons why we are in this situation, but for now we should just concentrate on accepting each others feelings" Scar said.

"And about.. mentioning your parents, I'm- I'm really sorry for that. I know I'm a bastard for that.."

"glad you know that" Grace scoffed to which Scar didn't get angry instead he smiled.

"Are you feeling better now?" he asked. Grace nodded his head, looking down at the ground.

Scar held his small chin in his big hands and raised it up to meet his gaze "I am so sorry baby, I didn't know that you were so sensitive" he said in a soft voice. Grace blushed a bit when he heard this 'I.. I feel something.. weird in my heart!' "I am literally a jerk to treat you like that, I am sorry. I promise I will never hurt you again" he said while placing a soft kiss on his forehead. Grace felt dumbstruck for a while 'did.. did he just kiss me on my.. forehead? But... I feel good by this gesture of his'

Scar smiled "next time you can come into my room as you please... but don't touch my stuffs until I say so. Okay?" he cooed him. Grace smiled faintly and nodded his head "well then lets have break fast now, come down after freshening up ok?" he said calmly and headed out of the room.

Grace looked at him leaving 'what is wrong with me? why am I feeling better after hearing his words? is it because whatever he is saying .. its genuine?'
