Forbidden Love [Jiaqi x Xueer]

38

There was Jiaqi, leaning against the door to the rooftop. Xueer froze to the ground, her heart gradually started to palpitate as her eyes were fixated at the blonde just a few metres away. There came disbelief and doubt. It felt like a dream hence she pinched herself. It wasn't.

Before she knew it, the blonde made her way to her, each step she took was hesitant and small. Once she was in front of Xueer, that was when the redhead could clearly see her tear stained cheeks and eye bags.

The two studied each other's face, as if hungrily absorbing the images of their features and expressions and engraving them in their minds. They had missed each other so much that it was inevitable to stare for a few moments before starting a conversation.

"I'm sorry."

With those two hush words from Jiaqi's lips, Xueer snapped out of her doubts and hesitations. She wrapped her arms around the taller, pulling her into the warm embrace of hers. She didn't speak. The touch she had missed and lacked for these few months...she finally got what was hers back. All the emotions of anger, love, joy and sorrow hit her like a truck.

Staying in that position for a few silent minutes, Xueer then broke the hug while sniffing and wiping her ricocheting tears. She then begun throwing gentle yet violent punches on Jiaqi as she cried everything out to the guilty vampire.

"After so many months...you finally came back. And your first words are I'm sorry? You're really shameless, aren't you?" The redhead sobbed hysterically with Jiaqi as still as a stone, allowing Xueer to release all her emotions on her. Seeing how much Xueer had suffered because of her, Jiaqi wanted to torture herself. She hated this.

"The audacity you have to show up in front of my face after so many fucking months." Hissing at the taller, Xueer threw softer and softer punches on Jiaqi after time. She was exhausted from the pain that had been trapped in her heart for months, now she was exhausted from releasing it.

With her hands now wrapped around Jiaqi's neck for support, she leaned against her shoulders and cried softly against her sweater. In a soft whimper, Xueer tightened her grip around Jiaqi's waist and neck.

"Yet...I still can't be mad at you. Isn't it so unfair?"

Jiaqi could feel and hear her heart shattering into millions of glass pieces, stabbing her over and over again. The voice of sorrows and despair which Xueer had haunted her. She resented hearing Xueer this broken and what's worse was she was the cause of this.

For these past few months, she had been recovering from her wounds while missing Xueer so dearly. She had even developed insomnia and eating disorder. However, even after recovering, she didn't have the courage to return into her lover's arms. Yuyan had been like her too. She couldn't face Keni. The thought of Keni resenting her after finding out she was a vampire made her heart clench. Sleepless nights went by for these lovers and their only support were their friends.

When Jiaqi finally couldn't stand all her stubborn decisions after reflecting, she decided to search for Xueer. She had heard everything the redheaded had said on the rooftop. Jiaqi was by the door the entire time, controlling her body, mind and soul to not let out a sound. She still didn't have the courage to right then hug and kiss her.

As her hand unconsciously reached out to the redhead's frail frame, Jiaqi caressed her softly and affectionately, as if he was savoring every moment they had then. Locking gaze with Xueer, Jiaqi leaned in and gently wiped her tears while hers slid down her face.

"It is unfair. I'm a selfish coward who had been so afraid of facing you, that I hid in the dark." She then leaned closer as her hands snaked around Xueer's waist. Her same luminous honey brown eyes gazed into Xueer's hazel ones and slowly, she gazed down on her soft kissable lips.
