..~*~..
"(F/n)-chan?"
I raised my head to look at Tenma, who sat beside me in the room. He has his brows furrowed, eyes worried at my well-being - then his eyes shifted to the bracelet I'm fumbling with which held many good memories. I gave a tight smile at him, my heart burning hurtfully. Then carefully, he asked, slowly, finding the right words to say. "You- you still have..that?" My eyes dampened, I let my head hang low and I nodded, soulless. I clutched the old bracelet in my hands, wanting to escape this horrid nightmare I'm facing. I stared at my closed palm, eyes blurring with tears.
"I miss our days... Why.. Are they doing this?" I whispered, barely a choke voice - to no one actually. Tenma just looked at me, concern washing over his face.
"Why can't you tell Fei? He'll definitely stop this." Tenma said, and stubbornly, I shook my head. I clutched the bracelet more to let me assure that everything's going to be fine.
"He won't stop, Tenma. He hates us, human." I told him and laid my hand on his shoulder, eyes directly at him. His eyes are getting blurry with tears just like mine. I smiled, smiled my best for him. I know how important is Fei to the team and how they are completely hurt and betrayed from Fei's betrayal. But I know Fei has a reason. I just need Tenma to let him show that human are not what he perceives of.
"But you guys are friends ever since you and Saryuu are five year olds." He said, eyes looking to mine, "Why didn't you tell him - Fei, that you're his friend? You already knew that Saryuu erased his memories right? Why did you not-?" I shook my head and grasped both his shoulders.
"I can't Tenma. I can't," I shook my head, my grasped on him getting tighter. I averted my face away from him and said, "It's way too risky."
"But-?" He started,
"Tenma, you're the only one who can show him the true meaning of friendship and bonds. You must show him that we're all there for him. That he's not alone. He must know it." I begged him, he just stared at me, broken and not seeming to know what to do. He sniffed and the tears began to fall from his eyes, he wiped it away, determined.
"You're right. I must show him." He said, eyes lighting up with hope and his voice determined. I nodded, quite satisfied at his answer then I hugged him. He quickly hugged back and at that moment, my mind flashback everything to the point where I remember Fei hugging me just like this when I'm afraid and losing hope. I let out a whimper.
"Tenma-kun, I trust you with this. Please... Please, help Fei realize..." His hug tightens.
"I will, (f/n)-chan. I'll bring Fei and soccer back." He finally said. My shoulders stopped shaking and I relaxed from my friend's comfort. We did not say anything - just hugged there, needing the comfort of our friend's warmth.
..~*~..
I watched worriedly as Tenma and the team did their best to hold back Fei's team and his violent kicks. I almost stood up when Fei kicked the ball intently and harshly to Tenma as he fell to his knees, gasping. I clutched my hands into fists and glanced at the certain building where I know Saryuu sat, watching. I can feel his eyes directly mine, there's some sense of hurt there, but it's completely obstructed with his great desire to rule the whole human world. I gritted my teeth - I can even feel the concern glances of the other team behind me. Quickly, I turned to my heels and walked away from the stadium, but not shivering first when I felt those green eyes following mine. I shook my head and just continued trudging on forward.
I sat on the benches, outside the stadium where I can breath normally and tensely. I stared at the bracelet, my eyes has gotten teary again as I recalled Fei giving this to me when we are near the riverbanks. I gave a shuddering breath, it all started...
8 years ago...
Eyes shifting and following after the green haired male's movements from the bushes, a smile appeared on my lips under my hood. I blushed when he kicked the ball at the white haired goggled guy, as he runs. He seems to be enjoying this sport called soccer - if I heard it correctly from him - and would play heatedly and expertly as if it was destined for him to play it.
I fiddled with the hem of my cloak; I wanted to talk to him - badly. I even sneaked out of my room just to watch him play, or maybe to get him know better. Ever since I watched him play here near the orphanage where I'm currently living in (I'm an orphan), he caught my interest immediately. That cute green hair which matches his bright eyes, and that extraordinary aura radiating him - I've been aching to know him more for the past few weeks. But I'm really afraid of his own assumption of me being a creepy stalker who watches him sleep all night - which is not true!
My eyes widened when the ball shoots to my location as it went pass me; the wind billowed my hair and my cloak from the intense momentum being kicked from it, I trembled and fell to my rear from the sudden rush of fear inside me. My heart beats erratically, eyes dilating more while staring at the hole from the bushes where the ball went through - I can even see them here. I grasped my plain T-shirt where my heart was; just one more turn of that ball, I'll be returning 'home' with a bruise painted on my face.
"Fei! You kicked the ball too hard!" Someone yelled across me, though a bit far away, I froze when I heard footsteps approaching my location. I wanted to make a dash for it, but my body is really stupefied for the moment, thoughts of their assumptions made my head go hectic.
"I'm sorry Saryuu! I'll get it!" Came that green haired male's voice who I'm targeting for these past few weeks- wait what?! Quickly, I stood up and was about to make a dash of it when I stepped on the ball as it rolled from my feet, forcing a yelp from me; I fell with a loud thud and my whole body kissing the whole ground. The fresh green carpet below me brushed my clothes and arms and face as I groaned, holding my head. My stomach hurts.
"Huh? Wha-? I-I'm sorry!"
I froze from my position, it's him. That cute green haired guy I am targeting these past few weeks. I shut my eyes tight, biting my lips and held in a blush that wanted to creep down my cheeks, I don't know why. Maybe I'm embarrassed or something? Fumbling with myself, I quickly stood up and dusted the dirt tracing my cloak before turning at him. He was looking at me, worriedly with the ball secured on his arms. I blushed, is this how cute he was when he's up too close?
"I-it's fine!" I waved my arms in front of me, stumbling over my words, "I'm not hit after all!" I chuckled nervously and rubbed my nape. Inside, I wanted to run away from here as soon as possible and lock my room and never go out for the rest of my days, but now I have him here-- in front me, my feet seems to not cooperating with my brain even how much it kept on yelling for it to run.
He looked at me, unconvinced. I almost stammered. Well, I can't blame him. After all, he saw me on the ground where the ball was.
"Fei! What's going on?" The white haired guy ran to us and laid his hand on his shoulder. Then he looked at me, blinking. I blushed before averting my face away from them to my hood, burying deep under. "Did you hit her Fei?"
"I-I- I don't know-" he paused for a while, "Er.. I think so. When I went here, I saw her on the ground."
"Hm..." The other guy hummed in ponder. I can feel his eyes looking at me making me more nervous and embarrassed. Suddenly, he went to me when I saw his shoes in my line of sight, I gulped. "Hey," He softly said and patted my shoulders, making me freeze for a while but then relaxed when he continued, "Say, can you tell us your name?"
I blinked, wow, I did not expect that coming. I raised my head a bit and almost shrieked and jumped at the proximities of our faces, but held it in. He doesn't need to be this up so close! Heart hammering, I squeaked out, flushing. "M-my name is (f/n)!" I bowed at them. "Y-yoroshiku!"
The white haired guy who has a goggles on top of his head smiled at me and laid out a hand, "Nice to meet you (f/n)-san. I'm Saryuu and the one who almost hits you is Fei." He joked and nudged his friend with a small push in the shoulder. Fei blushed and just gave a playful glare at his friend. I almost smiled at how friendly they are to each other. Then I blushed when Fei glances at me.
"I'm sorry about what happened (f/n)-chan. Are you hurt?" He asked, brows furrowing. I shook my head again, he really is persistent - Fei, isn't he?
"I'm really fine Fei-kun. Well, I almost got hit with your ball but I'm not hit. The reason why I'm on the ground, is because I fell when the ball went pass me." I told them, rubbing my neck sheepishly. I hope they won't ask what I am doing on the bushes. Fei just looked at me and as for Saryuu, he looked unsure and unconvinced with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Er... I hope you don't mind (f/n)-san, but-" he pointed at the bushes, "What are you doing here? Are you hiding or something?" I blushed and cursed to myself. Of course he'll be skeptic! (F/n), you're such an idiot!
"Um, I just uh... I'm just hiding from my friends." I babbled out and they looked at me, skeptical. Since they're really looking at me very closely, I sighed and finally admitted, "Alright, alright. I'm watching you guys play. I'm really sorry if I look creepy-"
"And since when you've been doing that?" Saryuu pressed even more which made me more embarrassed. Who wouldn't be anyways? He looked as if he's going to be my prisoner of something.
"A few weeks ago." I mumbled out. I almost jumped in shock when Fei cheered and raised his fist up high. My brows furrowed and I looked at Saryuu, he has this defeated and dumbfounded look with his eyes widened and a frown playing on his lips. I am confuse. What's wrong with these guys, seriously? Are they bipolar or what?
"See? I told you there's someone watching us!" Fei said - beamed actually to Saryuu who just shook his head from his friend. Saryuu then looked at me as I hang my head low. Fei easily recognized that someone's watching them. How come he didn't confront me yet?
"You're watching us, (f/n)-san? Why?" He began asking again, I just sighed and shrugged my shoulders.
"I just wanted to know him-" I pointed at Fei as he blinked and pointed at himself. I nodded and continue, "I mean- I wanted to have new friends. Being an orphan is really a pain and a boredom." They looked at me, confused. I removed my cloak to let them see my whole features, I smiled at them, though a little bit timid since they're still looking at me. I shuffled with my feet; a habit of mine when I'm embarrassed.
Fei just looked at me then began flushing beet red. Saryuu merely smirked, a deceitful gleam flashing on his eyes as Fei coughed, in an attempt to evaporate the awkward atmosphere radiating around us. He looked away, rubbing his nape. "Y-you wanted to know a-about... Me?" Every word that leaves his lips also increased the redness of his blush creeping down his cheeks, his eyes shifting to mine - before looking away.
I nodded, flushing as well. "Y-yes. Sorry if it sounded creepy or anything. I just wanted to be friends with you - and of course Saryuu as well." I shifted my attention at the said guy and smiled at him. He smiled back.
Instantly, Fei finally looked at me, any evidence of his blush all gone. He smiled widely and nodded. "Of course; we'll be glad to be your friend (f/n)-chan!" He said. I blushed and looked at Saryuu who, in return, smiled at me, nodding. A wide smile crept my lips and in full happiness, I pounced at Fei and hugged him.
"Thank you so much!" I told him- then froze, after realizing what I just did. I was about to lean away when Fei's arms wounded around me - unsure but friendly. He patted my back and stammered.
"N-no problem."
I released him and my eyes shifted to Saryuu; he has this teasing smirk on his lips and I cannot help but shoot him a flustered glare at his direction. Just for one day, this guy wanted to tease me huh? Perks of being a friend. I shook my head at this before looking at Fei. I blushed, my heart banging through my ribcage.
I think... I'm slowly developing a small crush to Fei.
..~*~..
It's been 4 months ever since I met Saryuu and Fei. They even introduced me to their other friends at that day such as Giris, Meia, and the others. They're really nice and friendly wherein I'm starting to like their company.
Right now, I was about to take a walk near the fields when a voice, which I grew accustom with chimed not too far away from me.
"(F/n)-chan! Matta ne!"
I stopped midway and turned around. I blushed when Fei ran to me, then stops when he approaches me. He has his knees bent to catch his breath with his hands propped in it. I just stared at him, waiting patiently for him to rest. After a couple of minutes, he finally stood up straight and smiled at me.
"You're going to take a walk as well, (f/n)-chan?" He asked and I nodded. A big smile crept to his lips and suddenly; he grabbed my hand and started walking, resulting a deep blush on my face. He said. "Yosh, then let's go." Speechless, I just nodded timidly. I took a glance at our hands. Despite my body wanting his hand to hold mine, my mind, on the other hand, wanted him to remove my hand because many people are looking at us.
After a whole while, he removed my hand and walked by himself near the river and stood there. I blinked and went after him. He dazed at the flowing water in front of him, his hand clutching onto something tightly. I stared at it curiously, it is a bracket with a silver bunny chained on it. It's really beautiful. I pointed at it, giving a nudge to his waist.
"Fei-kun? What is that? Are you giving that to someone?" My heart burns in jealousy when I said that but shook it away. I'm really curious to whom he will be giving this. He also looked nervous which added some suspicion arising my chest. He looked away and mumbled.
"It's... For you.. Actually."
I blinked for a while, trying to process everything he said, and when it did; my eyes widened and I took a step back, flushing beet red. I pointed to myself, as if in disbelief.
"Me? T-to me, Fei-kun?" He nodded, eyes finally looking to me. He grinned and snickered at my face, pointing at it.
"You looked cute when embarrassed (f/n)-chan." I pouted at him and punched his shoulders, softly. He winced and rubbed the spot I punched, "For a young girl like you, you sure punch hard (f/n)-chan." Despite being hurt, he just smiled, sticking his tongue out.
I rolled my eyes at him, laying my hands on either both sides of my hips, "There'll be more of it if you continue embarrassing me then." I sticked my tongue at him, grinning. He just laughed before going to me. He dangled the bracelet on the air with his fingers, smiling childishly. I giggled and he took my wrist to him, wounding the bracelet around my wrist. I blushed a bit but smiled nonetheless, the organ inside me is leaping against my ribcage, wanting to let out.
"There ya go!" He beamed, letting my wrist go. I lifted it to my eye level, it's really beautiful when it's wounded to my wrist. It seems to glow against the sunlight that is shining above us. I looked at him and hang my hand low, he chuckled. "Just to let you know - everyone know actually, that you're my friend. Always and forever, together with Saryuu and the others."
I smiled at him, fingers tracing the smooth substance of it, "you give everyone like this?" He shook his head in reply, much to my surprise.
"Nope. You're the only one who has that." He rubbed his head sheepishly, my heart gave a huge skip of beat and I could feel my cheeks burning. "Apparently, I don't know why I'm giving you that. It's just that weird."
I playfully pouted. "I never asked you to give me something, Fei-kun." He blinked and he waved his arms in front.
"What? No! No, not like that! Come on, (f/n)-chan, stop fooling around." He pouted, "Am I just that weird or something...?" He mumbled. I shook my head and went to him, grinning goofily.
"I'm just joking Fei. And nope, you're not weird. You're special actually." I blushed, smiling. "In fact, I think it's really sweet of you to give me this." Finally, he grinned.
"Then, I should give you more huh?" I blushed more at that and he snickered at my face, he said. "You're blushing again! Did I embarrass you (f/n)-chan?" In response, I punched his shoulder again. He winced. "Ow, you punch harder than the last time. That hurts."
"There will be more of it, so I suggest for you to run..." I warned him playfully, taking a step forward. He took a step back, laying hand in front of him to protect himself. "Right... Now!" I dashed towards him and he quickly ran away, laughing.
"You won't catch me, (f/n)-chan!" He yelled over his shoulders.
"I'll catch you Fei! Just you wait!" I yelled back at him, and for the rest of the morning, we just ran around with each other.
A smile crept to my lips, watching the bracelet on my palm. This bracelet really held many precious memories. They also do not show about Fei's, it also shows Saryuu too when he saw me wearing it the other day and began teasing me a lot, saying 'Fei is attracted to you. That's a first.' Of course, I punched him on the arm, just like what I did to Fei but not that hard. And that other time when Meia saw me smiling unconsciously while watching the bracelet dangling around my wrist. She even said, 'Someone's smitten on Fei~" And of course, I DID NOT punch her. She's a girl and girls just playfully shove each other, or maybe roll their eyes and stick their tongue out. And that is what I did to her.
My smile kept on growing wider for a while, good memories flashing at the back of my mind. Only to tilt down bitterly, remembering that event.
"What?! Are you crazy?! Don't do this please Saryuu! This is madness!" Barging to his room, I shut the door to have privacy with them as I looked at him pleadingly. He just looked at me, blankly with Fei sitting beside him, his head hang low. He sighed and stood up, he held his hand out and the things around me levitated. My eyes widened, his jaw clenched and his fists tightens.
"Now you know (f/n)-chan. We're extraordinary. And humans don't trust and like us. We must leave and never come back." He said, but I shook my head stubbornly.
"Impossible. Not all humans are like this to you! Look at me! I'm not an SSC and yet here I am, accepting you for who you are! Please don't do this!" I begged them. He just looked at me, emotionless. My heart broke at that expression and I shifted my eyes to look at Fei. "Fei, please, don't-" Fei stood up abruptly and the things that were loitered in the room levitates around me. My eyes widened. He's.. He's not planning to hurt me, isn't he?"
"See? You're afraid. You're afraid of us, (f/n)." He looked at me, jaded. My lips quivered and I swallowed the lump forming on my throat. He never calls me (f/n) without a -chan on the end. What happened to them? Why..?
He pointed at the door behind me. It opened with a swish while using his SSC genes. He boomed, with no obvious emotions swirling on his eyes. "Leave (f/n). I suggest for you to leave or I'll force you in other means."
I shook my head, eyes directly to them. No way I'm leaving them. They're just that important to me. "I'm not leaving." I told him stubbornly, and his eyes seemed to have soften for a while only to harden.
"Then you leave us no choice, (f/n)." Saryuu said and in a snap of his fingers, Meia and Giris appeared behind me. I looked at them — broken, when they just gave me a bored look.
"Wow, (f/n). You really are a hard-headed person, aren't you?" Giris just sighed, "I was almost surprised you had managed to stay this long. It was quite amusing, but no matter," Giris nodded at Meia, "Meia, dear, if you don't mind?" I watched Meia makes her way to me, her eyes apologizing for a while then turn into a sneer. Immediately, she used her powers to weaken my body. I fell to the ground, gasping.
"Why..? Why are you..?" I cannot continue anymore when Fei walked to me, eyes glaring to mine. The intense power he's using to merge with Meia's weakens my body more. I began writhing inside from the excruciating silent pain inside me. I can't scream nor move. I'm paralyzed on this condition.
"You're no longer my friend (f/n). From now on, we're all strangers." He coldly said and he turned away from me. I looked at him broken, my eyes getting teary from all of this sudden twist of fate. Saryuu looked at me for a while and nodded at Meia's direction. She bowed then took me by my arm and Giris to the other and let me stood properly. I hang my head low. I have no courage to look at them. It hurts. It hurts so much.
"We'll be leaving now Saryuu-sama. I'll take care of this human." She said in mock disgust. The lump on my throat tightens. My breathing went difficult and the tears that are remaining fully on my eyes pattered on the floor. Before letting me out, I called faintly.
"Fei, guys..." They stopped, I even felt Fei turned around to watch me. I didn't look up at him. I can't. I just hang my head low. But despite being hurt so much, I still smiled under the shadow no matter how painful. "Please, I have a request. I want you to do it for me, even though we are not friends anymore.." The words stung even in my tongue. Fei went to me and demanded.
"What is it?" Despite how cold and harsh that sounded - much to my heart's breaking, there is still a tiny softness and caring on it. Barely, but clearly.
I smiled more, "Please don't read my mind after this. I beg of you.."
Everything is silent for a while then for a few seconds, Fei agreed, "Very well. We'll never read your mind, happy?" He mocked.
I nodded. "Goodbye.." Fei and Saryuu did not say anything as Meia and Giris took me out from their base and closed the door in front of me. I just hang my head low and began walking away from the once happy base to go 'home'.
The tears won't stop streaming down my face. I kept on wiping them away but they just continuously flow. A choked whimper escape me. How could they? Why? The memory burns in my mind - tainted, unable to remove. Even how much I tried to find the hate inside me, it just won't come out. I just loved them so much. They're like my family now, especially since I'm an orphan. But all of it is just a mere mistake, huh? I'm so pathetic.
Finally standing up with my eyes puffy and red, I began walking to the stadium, only to see its empty. I blinked, it's already finish? Who won? What happened to Tenma and the others? What about Fei? Questions swarm around my mind as I began to march my way back, when I passed by a certain room, I heard voices. I hid near the walls and listened.
"I.. I need to think..." I heard Fei's voice and the footprints began making its way here. Panicking, I quickly tiptoed away from the room and turned sharply on the left. I peeked over and saw Fei's slouched figure walking away from the opposite direction I took in. I sighed in relief and went back to the room where Fei and the others were.
"(F/n)! You're back!" Shindou walked to me and the others looked at me, concern washing their face from my gloomy aura.
"Where have you been, (f/n)-chan?" Tenma sauntered to me, I just shrugged weakly and gave them a very weak smile. My eyes trailed over to Kinako and this tall man who looked like Fei. Maybe his father? I yawned and sat down, very tired. Physically and emotionally tired.
"I just went for a stroll. Nothing too surprising to that." I told them nonchalantly, I gave them an interested look. "Who won guys?" They looked each other and looked at me. Tsurugi walked over and said,
"It's a draw. Fei used his SSC powers to lure Tenma and the others to a trap. Saryuu ordered him." My eyes dropped. I swung my legs with no interest.
"Oh..." That's all I could say. But what shocks me most is when Tenma butted in.
"He misses you, (f/n)-chan. Saryuu does too and the others as well." I shrugged weakly.
"I see..." That's all I could say as well. My heart is numb, my body as well and my mind. They're very tired. But my heart fluttered in life only to die slowly. I'm not their friends anymore. I'm just someone who's a forgotten memory.
"(F/n)-chan?" Kinako called me. I raised my head at her, she looked at me, worried. "Will you watch the last battle?"
In response, I nodded then shook my head. They looked at me confuse. I sighed, "I'll watch. But I'm not watching in the stadium. I'll hide somewhere near the stadium and watch."
"Do you... Hate Fei and the others?" She asked more. I shook my head, a few tears slipping out of my eyes.
"Even how much I wanted to bring the hate inside me, I can't. I just love them so much." Kinako looked at me with her eyes soften.
..~*~..
"So you're Fei's mother?" I asked Kinako. She nodded, saluting her signature pose. I giggled.
"Yeeeep~ Are you surprised?" She said, grinning. I shrugged, and smiled.
"Of course. Say, what's with these things?" I gestured at the party-like decoration in the room. Kinako giggled.
"Fei is arriving later so we decided to surprise him." My eyes widened and a soft smile appeared my lips. Kinako watched me, her eyes looked at me in concern. "Are you.. Will you... Talk to him?" I sighed. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know Kinako-chan." Not waiting for her reply, I stood up and said, "Well, I better get going. I need to do something." Then I walked away, the doors swished open and immediately I ran away after seeing Fei in front of me. I heard him called my name, but I did not look back and yet I stopped from my fifth step.
"(F)-(f/n)-chan?" I heard him. I took a shuddering intake of breath. It's been a while ever since he called me that, it felt so nice but I can't handle this anymore. I need some space. I need to think, anything, just to let my mind off of him a bit.
"Hey there Fei-kun." I choked out. I heard his breath hitched and I smiled with my back still faced on him, "Everyone's waiting for you. You should proceed, you know?"
I can feel him shaking his head, "I'm not going in unless you go in as well, (f/n)-chan."
I just sighed. "I'm not going in Fei-kun. I need to do something." I can feel him about to retort and I immediately butted, "Fei, everyone's waiting. I just need to think.. This is... Too much."
He was silent for a while, then he sighed, defeated. There's a bit of hurt tone in his voice, "O-okay then."
"Fei-kun.." I called after him, he stopped on his tracks when he was about to enter, I turned around and smiled at him. His eyes widened, "It's nice to see you back Fei-kun. I'm very glad. But please don't be sad anymore. This is a celebration after all." I joked and sticked my tongue at him, trying to hid the pain inside me.
"(F/n)-chan..."
"You're special Fei-kun. Everyone is. Don't forget that." Not waiting for his reply again, I turned around and walked away with the feel of his eyes watching me.
..~*~..
"They won..." I smiled, jubilant. I hid near the benches with everyone oblivious of my presence. Fei hugged everyone, even his mother and father and cheered with the others. His eyes looked bright, like that day. It's so refreshing when everything's fine. My eyes shifted to Saryuu. I almost gasped when Meia, Giris, Saryuu and the others looked at me. Saryuu hang his head low, hurt and broken. My heart broke from their expressions so I just smiled at them, giving them a thumbs up. Saryuu looked at me dumbfounded and I smirked, sticking my tongue at him. His eyes softened and he chuckled before looking at Fei then to me as if saying, 'Fei and you..?'
I shrugged at him in reply and smiled. All of a sudden, I shot out of the place where I'm hiding and ran towards them. I leapt over the rails and landed on the ground safely. Huh, I think I still have it. Sneaking out of the orphanage has finally paid off. I hugged them so tightly, a few tears spilling.
"I'm so sorry, (f/n)!" Meia cried, hugging me so much. I just laughed while crying with them. This is so nice. The comfort of my friends' hugs are so welcoming.
"Everything is forgiven! I just missed you guys so much!" I told them and we all laughed, we broke our hugs and Saryuu looked behind me and smirked at me with a teasing gleam on his eyes. My eyes narrowed at him, déjà vu much.
"(F/n)-chan.." I heard Fei. I quickly turned around. He was looking at me in shame and hang his head low. My eyes softened and walked to him. I punched his shoulder, but this time friendly and softly. He looked up and I smirked at him.
"Embarrassed Fei-kun?" I giggled and hugged him, "I missed you, so much. I'm glad you're home again."
He sighed and hugged me, "I'm so sorry for everything, (f/n)-chan. For hurting you, for betraying you, everything." My heart soared in happiness and hugged him more, the tears I'm holding in are streaming down my face. He released me and wiped those tears with his thumb and leaned in. "I'm home now right?"
"You are now." I told him, confused when he smiled widely, "Why? What's wrong?" He shrugged and took something from his pocket. My bracelet. My eyes widened, I rummaged my pockets but my bracelet is not there. "Wha-? Why do you have that?"
He just laughed, "You dropped it in the room and I saw it." His eyes watered a bit, I quickly hugged him for comfort. "Do y-you hate me, (f/n)-chan?" He whimpered, I shook my head stubbornly.
"I can never hate you Fei. I just love you so much-" I gasped and released him. My cheeks flushed beet red at my sudden confession. Fei chuckled and handed me the bracelet.
"I love you too (f/n)-chan. You don't know how painful it was to see you in pain that day." He mumbled out, eyes showing hurt and regret. "Now I have you, I can't let you go again. It is too much to bear."
"Fei..." I whispered, smiling at his confession. Then quickly I hugged him and gave a peck on his lips. Everyone cheered around us and he blushed at my sudden bold move but smiled nonetheless.
"I'm home now, right? I'm always there right?" He pointed out and I quickly nodded.
"Always and forever."
"I love you (f/n)-chan." He said, pulling me for a kiss.
"I love you too." I whispered out and our lips touched, all the sounds of our friends' voice around us drowned in our ears.
