At Drystan castle,
Mal tool a shower losing track on time, she dried her hair fast and decided to keep her locks loose and wore comfy clothes.
She went to Kieran's room, she found the door slightly open but she didn't heard anything. She opened the door and sneaked inside only for someone to hold a knife against her throat. But she raised her hands in surrender.
"-what's in don't come near me you didn't understand?" he asked madly but she smiled and pushed the blade away with a grin on.
"-embarrassing me and ignoring your future queen for the whole day is not something a gentleman should do?
-you really have a death wish don't you?" she shrugged her shoulder and walked past him and sat on the bed looking at him with an innocent look and a happy face.
"-what do you want?
-I want to talk.
-we have nothing...
-we have a lot of things to talk about actually.
-oh really I didn't know." He said approaching her with a dark stare and his poker face until he was standing in front of her.
"-the only thing I am going to talk about with you is how I am going to end you." She rolled her eyes and held his hand pulling him with her but he snatched back.
"-you talk a lot but let's go outside.
-I will go nowhere with you.
-you think I was asking.
-you think I am going to walk around like your loyal puppy." He mocked sarcastically but she took a deep breath before she asked:
"-please.
-what did you say?
-please just this time and you can ignore me and embarrass me as much as you want later but now I want to talk." She said with pleading eyes, holding his hands firmly yet with affection; he looked away and didn't say anything. She felt bad and take out her hand but he pulled her outside and didn't bother to look at her:
"-where are we going?" she smiled happily and take the lead in the front and now she was the one dragging him.
They arrived where they fought yesterday, the swing. He started to laugh and she just stared at him confused.
"-of course you want to talk is there something or another insult you forgot to tell me that you brought me here. You are really the most disgusting person that have no dignity or self-respect…then you came and call me a heartless demon." He snickered before finishing:"-you have the right though, since you are the pure Saint and I am the devil of the story." He laughed at her but she didn't say anything, she swallow her pride inside and gave a sincere smile before she explained:
"-I didn't brought you here because I was going to insult you or to resume last night fight.
-oh wait, you brought me here because you wanted to play the hero again and teach the fucking demon a lesson about sympathy and love." He said in a childish manner holding his hands mockingly then resumed in a dark tone:"- You don't have to bother yourself because you are wasting your time." She took a deep breath again because she started to get fed up with his behavior.
"-I ask you to come here because I want to apologize..." He bursts in laughter that he wiped tears from his eyes.
"-apology…am I joke to you? You think an apology will erase your words from my mind, after hurting me… Hold on, I think I am the one who should apologize to you Miss Chace. After all; you are always the ethiqual one here…and I am the one who came from hell." He whispered the last part with a smirk on.
She had enough with his insulting, she pushed him on the swing and before he could stand up she hovered over him and covered his mouth and said:
"-damn it Kieran can't you shut up for a moment!" he was looking intensely at her but she sighed and thought told herself to avoid any other fight.
"-Listen…I know how much I will apologize It won't erase what happened but I am rally…deeply sorry, I shouldn't make assumptions, not trying to understand you enough like you did with me…and i…shouldn't call you names. But the only thing that I promise you with is that I am going to change and it won't happen again…I am sorry Kieran for not being the good friend you expected in return." She looked down for a moment then whispered removing her hand slowly from his mouth and sitting next to him:"-I have nothing else to say…thanks for listening to me."
Kieran didn't say anything he just kept looking at her and how she sat at the end of the swing, hugging herself.
She felt terrible about herself that tears coiling down her red cheeks without uttering any sound.
She flinched once she felt someone's hand wiping her tears away:
"-stop crying you look stupid." she thought he was mocking her and she was about to move his hand away but she stopped when she heard him:
"-you are bad at apologizing but I accept it…what can I do to my crybaby?
She pulled his hand and hugged him but she stood up quickly once she realized, he was smirking then asked:
"-do I stink that much that you can't hug me?
"-NO, don't take it the wrong way…it's just I…I rarely hug people and it's kind of embarrassing for me.
-why are you stuttering?
-I am not.
-then why did you do it?
-I thought it could make you happy, mom used to hug me and stroke my hair when I feel down and I thought it would really help.
_if you really want help at least do it properly."
She raised her eyebrows in a confused way but he just rolled his eyes before explaining:
"-do it as your mom used to and don't worry comfort others and help them feels good about themselves is not embarrassing in reality you should feel proud of yourself. At least you can make up your bad apology."
She looked down rubbing her arms in frustration biting her lips, he sighed feeling broken and dispose it and throw his head back at the swing. But he suddenly felt a pair of arms pulling him and hugging him tightly sending a weird sensation through his body... Warm... Affection... Love.... Stop being delusional she is petting you. But her delicate hand movements in his hair made him feel relaxed and stopped thinking about everything just to live the moment closing his eyes, he wished it would last forever, he felt safe and relieved.
-I really want to help you feel better not because of petty or I despised you and I felt sorry... I just hate when people are feeling down even the bad guy of the story
-what do you mean by the bad guy."
He went out of the hug feeling offended but she chuckled making his heart warmer, she pulled him back in a tighter hug.
"-can't you shut up for a moment, and let me speak... Actually I prefer bad guys over good ones because they would sacrifice the world for you however good one will sacrifice you for the world... Going back to our subject... You deserve to love and be loved... It's just we sometimes meet the wrong people at the wrong time that made us hate and despise those feelings and we make assumptions... Look at them as a weakness, vulnerability that could destroy you that you avoid till you feel... Nothing... Emptiness will take all over you…but you don't know when you meet someone…you think of him as the last person who could draw happiness in your face, do everything he can even that it was embarrassing for him…thank you Kieran…I really owe you a lot my friend." She whispered the last part, the white-haired boy's eyes widened and his cheeks turned red when she kissed the top of his head and sat next to him…
