MekBoss 1.4 Confession

Bonus - Mek x Boss - Confession (Part 4)

Mek opened the door and felt a thousand rusty blunt arrows dipped in acid pierce him through and through. His first and only love was in a deplorable state, kneeling in front of him, forehead bruised, eyes, red and swollen, clothes dirtied and hands bleeding.

He shouldn't have told him.

He should have kept it to himself.

He's lost his best friend, his Cheeky Wife, his soul mate; they will never be lovers and now they can't even be simple acquaintances.

He's caused Boss to hurt himself to this degree.

He wanted to reach out, but was afraid if he did, he won't want to let go.

His emotions were running wild, he didn't know what he should do, he wanted to help him up, to hug him and bring him in, but if he did, will he ever be able to release him?

He can't do something so selfish, especially since he knows Boss doesn't feel that way about him. He had to be strong, cut all ties.

The most resolute voice said a simple word, "Leave."

Boss hugged onto to his thigh, "I'm not leaving! Don't leave me."

Mek's heartstrings strummed, maybe, there is hope, but it vanished in an instant, he told himself, he cannot let his disillusions get the better of him. Boss does not like him, he has to keep the barrier up.

He inhaled deep and slowly exhaled, "I am saying this for the last time. Leave."

He had to force Boss to let go, once the arms were pried off his leg, Boss pitifully fell to the floor and cried into his forearms, "Mek! Don't! Don't leave me..."

He momentarily lowered his guard, crouched down and placed a hand on his head, it was just his hair yet he felt scorched, "Can we just pretend we never met? Please, just leave..."

Never met, the words suffocated Boss, how could he pretend that they never met, it's impossible! He latched onto Mek's neck then threw his weight on him.

Mek tried to steady himself but failed and ended up falling on his back with the hot mess on top of him.

He closed his eyes and sighed.

He questioned his own sanity, how did it become like this?

Who is the one who's heartbroken?

Why does it look like he broke Boss' heart and he's the one who is a heartless bastard trying to get divorced from his perfect ten of a wife?

"Shhh, it's okay, shhh..." His hands wrapped around the body on top of him; he rubbed his back, he told himself, just a moment, a little longer, then he'll let go, just a tad more...just until he stops crying...

The sobbing stopped, but Mek didn't want to let go, he wanted to stay like this until the end of time.

One ceased, the other began, droplets trickled down the side of his face, as it should, how could he make his wife cry.

Boss eventually fell asleep on top of him without saying another word.

What a wife, he really could sleep anytime, anywhere...

The Quiet Husband carried his Cheeky Wife to the sofa, cleaned his face, iced the bruise and bandaged up his hands.

He gave the run-down Boss another look and returned to his room...he knew what he had to do...
