Yours. (seaycee)

1.

It was 6:00 in the evening on April 11th when Sean was waiting at his gate for the flight to China.

His parents, his siblings, Kaycee, and Alexander all there beside him ready to watch him head off, or head off alongside him.

Kaycee was especially clingy that day, wanting nothing to do with Sean leaving until the end of July.

They sat in the waiting area outside the gate. Alexander and his parents sat across from them, and his parents beside them.

Kaycee was on Sean's lap, and he was holding her close, not daring to let her go until he absolutely had to.

Kaycee: "baby"

He glanced down at her face that once was full of life, but now fell dull like the raindrops on the sidewalk outside.

Sean: "what's wrong?"

Kaycee: "do you have to go?"

Sean: "I already promised Chung I would babe"

Kaycee: "I know...I just asked cause...I wanted to hear your voice again"

His heart melted at that statement. He didn't wanna leave her. At all.

Sean: "you can call me all the time kayc, you know that"

Kaycee: "yeah I know...I just can't touch you"

Sean: "these three months will go by faster than you think bubba"

He kissed her temple in attempt to ease her heart rate.

Kaycee: "I'm gonna miss you Sean"

He felt a tear fall down his cheek and before he could stop it, it fell to her forehead.

She glanced up at his face, red and broken.

Kaycee: "why are you crying?"

Sean: "god kayc, cause I love you so much...I don't think I can make it three months without you"

She smiled faintly at his love for her and wiped the tears slowly off his cheeks.

Kaycee: "yes you can, you're gonna be living a dream you've had for so long."

Sean: "the only thing I'm gonna be missing is you."

Kaycee blinked away her tears and pulled his face down to hers swiftly, not caring who was looking as she pressed their lips together for a second to ease his mind in the slightest.

Kaycee: "I'll be right here waiting for you when you get back"

He smiled at her delicate touch, placing his hand on top of hers that was still placed on his cheek.

Sean: "you know, not everyone gets this lucky?"

Kaycee: "what do you mean?"

Sean: "I get to go off to a foreign country, still being well known, doing something I absolutely love, and at the end of it, I get to come home to the most amazing girlfriend and best friend in the entire world who supports me through everything..."

Kaycee: "and you never have to worry about the last part changing because there's nobody else I'd do it for."

He kissed her gently, the only thing breaking them apart was the announcement of his boarding.

She swore she could feel her heart clench in her chest. Like he had to breath for the both of them in that moment or else it would be over for her.

He felt her cling on to him tighter and he sighed.

She unwillingly released, not wanting to make it any harder on him than it was.

He hugged his sisters goodbye, their tears not evident but there.

Then his parents. A little longer this time, you could tell they meant the world to him.

And then his eyes fell on her.

He rested his hands gently on her hips and inhaled deeply before shutting his eyes and letting a few tears slip.

She'd never seen him this vulnerable.

Sean: "you know I love you?"

Kaycee: "of course I know that"

Sean: "just making sure"

Kaycee: "and I promise that I love you now and I'll love you just as much when you come back"

He smiled, the tears still coming

Sean: "I won't be long bubba"

She just nodded, unable to form any words to really let him know how much she'd miss his presence.

Sean: "I'll call you every second I get, and I promise I'll make it up to you once I get back"

Kaycee: "I can't wait to watch videos of you living that dream of yours"

Sean: "I can't wait to show you..."

She was trying hard not to cry, to keep herself together as he got on the plane just to make it easier for him.

Alexander: "yo, lew! We gotta board!"

Sean looked back at kaycee apologetically and she smiled to show him that she'd be okay.

Without hesitation, and with many eyes on them, he leaned in and explored her mouth one more time.

The kiss wasn't that long, but kaycee was sure she could feel time stop.

Sean: "I love you princess, so much"

Kaycee: "hey, just be yourself out there okay? I know they'll love you"

He smiled as he began to walk off toward the gate with tears flooding his eyes.

Kaycee: "...and I love you too"

She wasn't sure if he heard or not, because she said it in a quiet tone, unable to speak up from the crushing feeling in her chest from seeing him walk away.

She sighed and walked over to the waiting room chairs and fell down into one, enveloping her face in her hands and sobbing.

She stayed strong for him, to make it easier on him to be able to leave her, but afterwards the water works acted as if they had no boundaries.

Soon enough kaycee felt a hand on her back that oddly felt similar to Sean's and she glanced up to meet a different pair of Asian eyes.

Serris: "hey, it's gonna be okay"

Kaycee just let out a small laugh despite the pain she was in.

Serris sat next to kaycee, keeping her hand on her back for comfort.

Serris: "I know it's hard now, because you guys spend every day together, but he'll call and text you non stop"

Kaycee: "I know...it'll just be weird not having him around for a few months. I just worry"

Serris: "about him?"

Kaycee: "well yeah...and this might sound kinda selfish but I don't mean it in that way..."

Serris: "sure"

Kaycee: "Sean is the only person who can calm me down when I get in these episodes. They're like panic attacks but worse. He's the only person who can get me out of them, and I'm just afraid of him not being here."

Serris: "you know, that's actually kinda sweet. Kayc, I know it's scary, but if you ever get like that, just call him."

Kaycee: "what if he doesn't answer?"

Serris: "go to your mom, your sister, anyone who you think might be able to pull you out of that state okay"

Just then Sean's parents were calling them to head back home.

Kaycee left one last glance at the gate that Sean left through and wiped the remaining tears off of her cheeks.
