Feels Like Home | A Lizkook AU

22.

"Did it hurt? I tried really hard not to touch you there," She asked in her little pout, grazing her fingers softly on the untouched skin of his arm.

"It doesn't. I didn't even realize it was there," It was true. He'd been in such a rush of adrenaline - more than the fall, really. How could I pay any attention to any pain at all when this goddess is in front of me? "I'm sorry I made you worry,"

"If you're sorry then don't do it again,"

"Don't fall on my bike again?"

"Yeah...and say that you wanna disappear - you know...things like that,"

He laughed a little bitterly as guilt crept in. He made her cry...and he never wants her to cry like that ever again. Lisa had made him the happiest man alive the moment she said she loved him, and he's going to treasure it to his grave!

I won't doubt myself like that again - not when it comes to her. Despite everything, she's still here...with her tender care and softness...trusting and loving me without any prejudice. And I'll do anything to keep her here with me.

"Okay baby...I'll try my best! Although the falling off the bike thing...I mean...it could be a little hard to promise -"

She giggled a little before looking up to face him. "I'm too tired...can I sleep here with you tonight?"

She blinked weakly and he held her tighter, embracing the happiness of the moment. They had showered together and made love again, and now she smells like his shampoo. The slow and steady heartbeat is unusual, so does the fill in his chest. It's peaceful...he can only hope for the calmness to last long.

"You can sleep here every night - whenever you want. In fact, why don't you bring some of your clothes here - I already reserved a space in there for you,"

Her cheeks flushed pinker. "My cats need me too, you know,"

"Ahh...this is a battle I can never win!"

...

It's official - Jungkook is now living in her mind rent-free and she can't even complain! She may be present going about her daily classes and work, but he was never far from her train of thoughts. 

It's uncalled for really...it seems that the days and nights they spent together had only fuelled more desire in her. It's as if she can't get enough of him! And he seems to be feeling the same - which kind of relieving since it would be awkward if she's the only one wanting the company at all times in the relationship, would it? 

Jungkook can't keep his hands off her whenever she's near. He'd shower her face with kisses whenever he gets the chance to and she loved it. He doesn't need to use words to show her just how much he adores her, she could feel it in his actions. But of course, whenever he does use words, they'd sound perfectly wonderful too. 

It's really a wonder that he always thought he wasn't good enough - like how did he come to that conclusion?? Oh, Tiger Lilies...nice pick! Maybe I should bring some back to put on his desk - it'll add some color to the house...

She ties the ribbon around the bouquet wrap and hands it over to the paying customer. Another half an hour, and she'll be done with her shift. Jungkook's probably going to reach ten minutes before then - the guy's always early! She asked Irene if she could leave early today, as they're meeting her friends again. 

She's quite nervous about it...hoping that nothing triggering will happen tonight. Jungkook had been voluntarily excited about giving it another shot but even as her boyfriend kept assuring her that he'll do better, she could see the anxious aura surrounding him. If it were up to her, she wouldn't have minded it if he wasn't ready for a comeback. She wasn't going to make him do something that would potentially drive him away again.
