I'm Yours and You're Mine (Zenx Reader) Mystic messenger

Chapter 12 - Early Morning

         The birds were chirping outside the apartment when Zen gently roused from the sofa. He looked down and realized he was covered with a blanket he doesn't remembered having on him before he slept. He's smiling at the scene in front of him, she's definitely still keeping an eye on him despite her not even having enough time to rest. He blinked his eyes multiple times trying to chase away the little sleepiness he felt.
             It's been a week since he decided to stay with (Y/N) in her apartment. He volunteered, well not really, he pleaded to her and to her book editor- Alice, to stay with her for the next couple of weeks. He promised he will take care of her and will not disturb her while she's writing. He explained that he could not take not seeing her, touching her or even hearing her voice for straight two weeks. That the last time was a torture to him, it was actually the same with (Y/N).

         He stood up and clean up his bed, then went off to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He himself was busy, as he started rehearsing a new musical. He received a call from a director the other day asking him to be reinstated as the main lead of the musical that he refused before the echo girl scandal. It was worth celebrating, however he did not tell her yet for she already buried herself to work and by telling her, will definitely cause her to lose focus and he doesn't want that. For the longer it takes for her to finish her manuscript the longer he'll endure this situation. Everyone in the RFA were asking about her, although they already knew that she will be detached from the world if she starts writing.

       A shriek pierces through the peaceful morning Zen was enjoying. Panic strikes at him as he recognized the voice of his beloved. He rushed immediately to her room, upon opening the door he shouted.

" (Y/N) what's wrong?!!"

         Seeing Zen at her room, she ran to him and hugged him tightly. Confused by the situation he furrowed his eyebrows and mouthed a question. He patted her shoulders to gain her attention.

" Baby, what's wrong?"

She's sniffing now, she looked up to him, pearls of tears forming on her sapphire colored eyes, staring directly at her eyes made Zen felt like he's staring deep into the ocean. He noticed visible dark circles around her eyes, which made her eyes more alluring because of the contrasting color. The tears were not out of sadness but out of joy as she was smiling widely. Her hair was a mess, nonetheless he could smell her shampoo, in a daze he wrapped her on his strong arms nuzzling and smelling her hair. He was enveloped by a sudden urge to touch her and savour her warmth forgetting the situation altogether.

"U-uhm, Zenny. That's a little bit ticklish, my hair is a mess, and it's getting more so."

" Hhmmmm, yes baby? For a little while, ok? You smell so nice. Hugging you, touching you, feeling you like this is still the best. God! I missed you so much.

       Zen said white still nuzzling her hair. She chuckled and giggled at this. He can be a drama queen at times but she let him be for she also misses him. They've been practically living together for a week now but they seldom interact because of how busy she was.

"I miss you too Zenny."

She said while caressing his hair. Her nose smell something burning.

" Zenny, I smell something burning did you for instance cooking something?"

Zen snapping out of his dreamland gasped in surprise and again ran frantically back to the kitchen. What he saw was a sorry state of an omelette that has little to no resemblance at all to an omelette. Sighing from what he did, he heard a soft laughter behind his back. He turned around and saw (Y/N) shaking her head trying to suppress her laughter. He pouted his lips,there was a glint of mischievousness on his smile, she noticed it and started to run back to her room, but Zen was fast and he swept her off her feet and landed on the sofa were Zen was sleeping the night. He attacked her ,by tickling all her weak spot. She laughed widely, trying to move his hands away but to no avail. She was thrashing wildly but Zen gripped her and put her back to the sofa. They were both laughing, enjoying this game. Zen came to a stop after to gasp some air. Chest heaving highly she asked in a weak voice.
