Lynn’s POV
My brain stayed awake no matter how much I wanted this day to be over; it just wouldn’t end. My eyes felt soggy, as if I were the cereal sitting in the milk for too long. At that moment, I wanted to tear apart and melt just like that cereal. I tightened the ball I had curled myself into. Why should I be getting SO UPSET over something that HE did, it wasn’t my fault. My thoughts scattered, I KNEW THAT I SHOULDN’T HAVE EVEN GIVEN HIM A Shot at……. His mind filled with silence, a memory suddenly popped in his head, it was back way back, just to be exact when they first started dating. Nick was standing there, his yellow eyes glowing just so perfectly in the sunset, he had a bouquet of flowers in his hand, they were bright, they even matched the color of his own eyes, a yellowish color. Very distracting from the fact that Nick’s hands were both shaking and sweaty. At first Lynn wasn’t even sure why he was even with Nick at that moment, everything became very clear after Nick stated this “I know for a fact that I’m not the best at relationships, I barely even try at them and to be honest with you the longest time I’ve dated someone only lasted about three months,” He took a small, but deep breath and then kept going “but for some reason when I think about dating you I actually want to try, I…I want to…” His voice was now cracking, his eyes filled to the brim with tears “I want to date you, I love you… please give me a shot at this with you.” Lynn thought about this moment, and started to sob once more. You didn’t have to go on a kiss that GIRL you should have just stayed with me… by my side like you promised you would. He hated the thought of Nick kissing another person, let alone that happening in real life.
Nick’s POV
A kiss, it was unlike the soft lips I was used to. I pushed her away just as I saw the man I love so dearly, he ran away in tears faster than I could say anything, faster than I could reach out for him, my heart ached. My heart wanted to run after him, tell him to run back to me just like we were, just like it was. My body on the other hand wouldn’t move, it wasn’t responding, I was stuck, frozen in place, till she spoke again.
“What's wrong Nicky? Cat got your tongue? Or did you just really like the kiss?” I looked at her, the look I gave was both a mix of shock and terror, everything was blurry, I blinked and the things around me came crashing down. Short and jagged breaths escaped my mouth.
“HOLY SHIT! NICK IF YOU DIDN’T LIKE MY KISSES THAT MUCH YOU COULD HAVE JUST SAID! ARE YOU OKAY?” She was shouting at me, but all I could focus on was the face he made when he looked at me. The look that was once so caring and soft turned sour, and I couldn’t handle it, not one bit. The tears wouldn’t stop, and my breathing kept getting faster and faster. I remember this happening before, it was when dad got drunk and he slapped me. I ran to my room as fast as my teenage self could, locked the door, and cried on the floor non-stop. It was like everything around me was terrifying, almost as if my room was trying to eat me alive. I’ve never had one before, but soon after I had a lot more, I guess that’s what’s happening to me right now. A stupid, fucking panic attack… and this time it’s all my fault.
“I miss Lynn” Is all I could muster out of my pathetic mouth.
3rd Person POV
Nick is slowly making his way to apartment 1031, his legs feeling heavy and useless as he can barely walk. Meanwhile, Lynn is sprawled out on his bed, peacefully napping. The crying earlier wore him out, and he just wants to push those thoughts aside for now. As he drifts off to sleep, a sense of emptiness lingers inside him. When Nick finally reaches the door, he gives the girl a little wave goodbye and unlocks it with the key that was specially made for him since he started visiting more often because of Lynn. He walked in feeling both terrified and like shit for what was to come. Nick shut the door and peeked inside to see if anyone was there. The only person in the room was Abu; he was reading and not paying attention to his surroundings. Nick walked past him to Lynn’s room and knocked on the door, his hands sweaty and shaking, and his tail tucked between his legs out of nervousness. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK, but no answer came, so he slowly opened the door to find the angel lying on his bed in the fetal position. Nick’s heart practically melted at this; he walked in, shutting the door gently behind him. He walked quietly to where he was sleeping, being very careful not to wake him. He sat down on the bed right next to the blond-haired man and sighed as he looked at him. Nick watched as he slept, heart aching as he saw the man sleeping so peacefully. He placed a gently kiss on Lynn’s cheek and then whispered
“I do hope you can forgive me, I’m sorry I made you cry.” Lynn shifted a bit, he was starting to stir. His eyes fluttered as he started to wake. Lynn sat up stretched for a bit and then looked at Nick, hurt in his eyes.
“When… When did you get here..?” Lynn asked, his voice hoarse from the crying he did earlier.
“Just a few minutes ago… “ Nick took a deep breath and then continued.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for making you cry… and letting that other girl kiss me, because I only want the kisses you give. You’ve always felt so right to me and when that other girl kissed me I felt like my world was ruined… I’m sorry.” Lynn hugged him, he was now on the verge of tears.
“I’m sorry too, I should have put more trust in you; talked things through instead of just running away” Nick held on tightly to Lynn and shook his head.
“Lynn, why are you apologizing? I’m the one who messed things up, you had every right to run away. Gosh what a soft angel…” Lynn started to laugh, he was so happy all of this was over. Lynn angled his head so he could give Nick a cheek kiss, the soft display of affection was enough to make Nick’s cheeks go pink.
“Stealing kisses now are we? Two can play that game…” Nick playfully backed away from Lynn and gave him little pecks on the lips. Lynn giggled at this, he plopped down backwards now laying down again. He wrapped his arms around Nick’s shoulders and pulled him down, Lynn closed his eyes and gave Nick a lingering kiss on his lips. This soon turned into some open-mouth kissing, Lynn wrapped his legs around Nick’s waist. Nick knew he wanted more than just a kiss, but he was going to make him work for it. Their tongues started to intertwine, exploring each other's mouths and leaving saliva everywhere. They lived happily after that, still having fights of course, but never ones causing pain in their hearts like that ever again. THE END!!!
