2gether AU: Miracle

Chapter 15: Can't You See It?

Only if you knew how much I liked you 
But I watch your eyes as she walks by 
What a sight for sore eyes 
Brighter than the blue sky 
She's got you mesmerised while I die 
- Heather, Conan Gray -

Tine's POV

There, I said it.

I had used up all my energy, all my will and all my courage. I am dog-tired now, and I am feeling very light-headed.

Wat's fingers still dabbing on my cheeks, and I slowly lose my consciousness, collapsing on top of Sarawat.

By the time when I regained my consciousness again, the sky was already pitch-black, and it was raining cats and dogs out there.

Contrary to the frostiness outside the window, I was wrapped securely in a pair of warm arms, my back pressed against a solid source of heat.

"Tine, you're up."

For a minute, I thought I was just making things up in my head, but Wat's heated breath against my nape reminded me repeatedly that this is real.

I am in my bed, and Wat is hugging me while I was asleep for God knows how long.

What a miracle that I didn't wake up alone.

This is the second time I woke up in his arms.

It was finally a dream come true for me.

"Tine, I'm so so sorry for everything." Woeful, Tine.

"I told you that I wanted to court my crush right?" Yes, Wat.

I nodded bitterly.

"And I need your help, Tine." F'cking hell.

"Sarawat, I'm not a saint. I'm just someone who is weak and broken, there are times when I want to curl into a ball and cry because I'm just exhausted of staying strong and holding on all the time." I snapped.

"Tine, can't you see it?"

"See what?" I was increasingly frustrated with Sarawat deflecting my question.

"Exactly, what, Wat. Does that ring a bell?"

What the hell was Sarawat talking about? He does realise that he was chasing his own tail, right?

"You know you are just repeating my words right?"

"So?" Sarawat was burying his face into my hair, and his warm breath against my scalp was very distracting.

It was turning me on in a very weird way.

Tine, keep it in your pants, you are supposed to be angry.

"You said you're letting me go, but you're clinging to me right now." Sarawat's husky voice, if possible, planted a sinful thought in my mind.

"Look at you, so needy, Tine. You sure you're letting me go?" Sarawat sounded like the devil from the gates of Hades.

My mind went hay-wired, I wanted to push him away but the more I wanted to do so, the stronger the desire for me to stay in his embrace.

I released a moan unintentionally.

Out of a sudden, Sarawat pulled back and I felt a column of cold air brushing against my back, pulling me out of my trance.

Sarawat turned me over, we are now looking into each other's eyes.

His red eyes, pink-tipped nose and rosy cheeks indicate that he was crying not long ago.

I should be feeling happy, seeing him in such a broken state, but for some strange reasons, my heart was quivering for him.
