"Stop...! No! Dad...! Mom...! No...!" I squinted my eyes open my body stiffened hearing a familiar voice crying in distraught I quickly sat up and my eyes fell on the man my eyes widened, what is he doing here...? Suddenly, my mind recalled the kiss...! We shared in the gallery, I bit my bottom lip as my mind replayed the whole scene the intensity of the way his lips were moving with mine,
Goosebumps raised all over my body, I guess I know how we end up on the bed, he carried to the bed and tugged me under the covers but I stopped him because I was dictated by the vehement feelings that have been growing for him and initiated the kiss, and I got so engrossed in his spicy scent, mesmerizing blue depths and sluggish lips that I didn't realize when we fell asleep,
"Mom...!" I flinched back into reality, by Azriel's whimpers, he was squirming as if someone is holding him tears were freely falling from his closed eyes I felt a tug in my heart I hurriedly took his hand in mine, cold... It was cold like has been put into the refrigerator, he gripped my hand tightly, "Azriel... Wake up..." I shook him gently because I don't want him to wake up abruptly, he didn't open his eyes he was mumbling incoherent words still struggling, I felt like someone is piercing my heart with a knife, I can't see him so helpless, I cupped his face between my hands,
"Azriel...! Azriel...!" I called him bringing my face close to him so he could hear me clear, his eyes ushered open wide he abruptly got up I draw my hands back staring at him, he was gasping for air his chest was heaving up and down with labored breathing white sclera of his eyes were bloodshot, a single tear leaked from his eyes, I bit my lip suddenly the urge to protect him from everything rose in my heart, "Azriel..." I placed my hand on his shoulder he craned his neck to me and for the first time since the day I met him, his eyes weren't shielded and there was no authoritative aura or intimidating look all I could see was a broken child who had lost a lot,
His blue orbs which have been becoming my favorite thing to stare at for hours now were surrounded by suffering, grief, and pain and were searching for mine, I can see a vulnerable man defeated by destiny, his hands were gripping the sheets, and I couldn't take it anymore and see him so lost without thinking twice I engulfed him in my embrace holding him right against me, yearning to take his sorrows away from him, he didn't resist or pulled back just let me hold him,
He buried his face in the crook of my neck sending me shivers I stroked his back up and down soothingly for calming his heartbeats that I could feel against me scampering rapidly, the man I'm holding right now isn't any mafia king he is just an ordinary man hunted by his demons, his arms came around me hugging me back as his breathing turned normal,
What had he witnessed that he isn't able to forget till now? Dennis told me his parents were killed so was his sibling who didn't get the chance to see this world, he must have been through a lot when he lost his parents at such a young age when he needed them more than before, I and mom had felt that hopelessness where we became a cripple from the mind after losing dad, I can thoroughly recognize pain he had been feeling 'They can't gather courage for leaving the darkness behind because there is no one out waiting for them.'
