Emerald ~book 2~

Chapter 12

                                 ~Zee POV~
             "I don't even know what to say..." he trailed off looking into Saint's eyes. It's been a year since he's seen Saint and it almost seems like this is a dream. Lord if this is a dream then I never want to wake up.

         "I do" Saint said gently. He brought his hands to hold his and looked at him with teary eyes. "Zee I'm sorry, this is all my fault those scars on your chest I d... mph."  Zee stopped his words with a kiss. Breaking it to look at Saint.

        "Saint these scars they hurt, but not because of how I got them. but because of the words you were forced to say to me." Zee said his own eyes getting teary.

         "I would never-" Saint tried to say but he cut him off again.

      "I know you would never say those things. But what you said it was true. And it made me think a lot about myself. What happened, these scars it wasn't your fault." He hugged Saint tightly. "I'm sorry you had to go through this year with that guilt."

"I just want to be here in your arms right now." Saint said voice cracking.

"Then let's do that right now for as long as you want." Zee replies gently caressing the younger's back gently. They stood there silent for a while but neither cared.

1 hour later

The soft crash of the waves and their breathing was the only thing heard. He breathes in for the first time this whole year he feels like he can properly breath again. Saint's head was rested on his lap.

"To be honest I thought you weren't gonna love me anymore." He sighed gently. Saint raised his head and looked at him.

"And why's that?" Saint asked gently. Zee looked away a little bit. Tweaking one of his ears to make a point. "O-Oh!" Saint exclaimed.

"Heh yeah..." Zee looked down.

"Well I love you just the way you are and I want you to know that you being who you are. Would never drive me away." Saint brushes some hair in his face gently.

"C-Can I kiss you." Zee asks a little embarrassed. Saint looks at him with soft eyes.

"Only if your willing to start healing with me." Saint says quietly. He nods his head gently.

"I am, I'm ready."

"I-Is there a certain way werewolves kiss?" Saint asks curious.

"W-What?!" He says shocked and backs up a bit.

"Werewolves is there a certain way they kiss?" Saint asks again.

"I-I, I'm really shy talking about that kind of stuff." He looks the other direction hiding the red on his cheeks.

"Hey, you don't have to say anything right now we can just do it the way we always do." Saint said gently putting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm not gonna push."

"Thanks Saint." He says relived. Saint then cups his cheek and softly kisses him on the lips. The kiss became more passionate after a while. Though Zee knew that neither of them were ready for Sex they can still share these moments. Breaking the kiss when they ran out of air they looked at each other with deep emotion. What they've went through hasn't torn them apart it's brought them closer together. Only making their bond stronger than it already is.

         "I love you." They both said at the same time. They stared at each other for a second the started to laugh. Sometimes is truly seems like they share one mind.

        "More than food?" He asked smirking.

        "Don't push your luck." Saint said grinning. He frowned and pouted, turning his head away from Saint crossing his arms.

          "I never thought that I'd get jealous over food." He scoffed and rolled his eyes. Saint hugged him from behind placing his head on my shoulder.

        "Zee don't be like this." Saint whined. A growl rises in his throat. "Did you just growl?" Saint asked amused.

         "N-No!" He said quickly and hid his face in his hands.

        "Hey Zee don't be embarrassed." Saint said  shaking Zee lightly. He looked up and made a gesture with his head showing he was annoyed. Saint laughed gently and nuzzled into my shoulder.

         "Let's go back to the house." He said gently bringing a hand up to hold Saint's face.

       "Mmm" Saint responded and smiled against his skin. Hopefully this would be a new beginning for them. A new chapter in their life.
