❛❛we wrote a fairy tale, its name, Eclipse❜❜
A story of a paralyzed girl, and an ephemeral boy, who were only able to meet at night and starting from silly conversations they became the light in each other's darkness.
But no one knew where he came f...
"Hey..." he said, sitting on my window sill, a smirk curved on his lips.
"J..Jaemin!" My voice cracked from the excitement and I pushed my wheelchair near him, to drag him to my level and hug him tight.
"I could have fallen down...you know that?" He said and chuckled.
"Where were you? It's been almost a week!" I whined.
"Life got a little complicated..." he ruffled his hair.
"What happened?" I asked him, as he gently slipped into my room.
"Don't bother...." he turned away then said,"Where today?"
"Are you crazy?" I raised my eyebrow and looked outside the window, through which the wind came howling in, playing with the white curtains, and the thunder amidst the dark red clouds grumbled.
"Oh..." Moon said,"Well it was pretty windy, I didn't figure there would be a storm outside ..."
Evening had the shade of night today, the thunderclouds hid all the stars and the the moon, a wild wind rustled through the tree leaves, bending it, making eerie sounds.
"Can we stay inside today, as I don't wanna die early" I said to which Jaemin smiled and nodded.
He held my hand, helping me out of the wheelchair, making me sit beside him, on the bed. The two of us sat awkwardly, looking at the room, searching for words when I whispered softly,"I....I missed you.."
"Me too..." he said and looked into my eyes, with guilty.
"Hey...I have a great news!" I smiled.
Jaemin raised his eyebrows and I said,"My doctor said, after some months I would be able to move again!" My voice chirped and I held his hand.
"That's great Em! I'm so happy for you!" He said with a tinge of glow in his eyes but somehow, he looked sad, dejected.
"What's the matter?" I nudged his arm with my elbow and my lips formed the words I have been meaning to say,"I wont be a burden anymore..."
He looked at me in disbelief.
He shifted closer to me his arms slowly embraced me, I placed my head on his chest, feeling his rapid heartbeats. "You never were Em, you were anything but a burden" he whispered into my ears.
His hand stroked my back and he placed his chin on my head.
I fell flustered and smiled,"Now we will be able to see the world together, we will count the stars and search for them, we'll run on the wet grass...."
"Em...."His heavy voice stopped me midway.
"Yeah"
"After everything, don't forget your Moon okay?" His voice was like a faint wave.
"NO! Of course not! How could you say that?" I tried to break free from the hug, look straight into his eyes but his arms held me tighter, even closer.
His head, lowered down to my shoulder, and I felt his body slowly shiver.
"Please Em....please...two more seconds.." he was trembling at this point.
"Hey....calm down, I'm not going anywhere..." I stroked his back but he held me so tight, it hurt a bit. He was afraid to let go, afraid I might break, disappear. His warm breath danced on my skin and my shoulders were wet from his tears.
"Are you crying?" I broke away, cupping his cheek, watching his eyes, overflowing with tears.
A thought struck me, like the lightning outside, and I felt burnt and bruised just saying it out loud. "You..." my hands dropped dead.
"You are not leaving me, are you?"
The wind howled outside, screaming, trying to break free, and the rain showered on the roof.
His lips curved into a faint smile and touched his forehead with mine, cupping my cheek, as he closed his eyes, "Never you silly girl... never in a million years."
I smiled, still insecure, still scared but I held him closer to me, "I'm so glad you found me..I'm so glad you are my Moon..."
