2 I Can Feel Your Warmth And Their Cold Breathe Too

That warm, fuzzy, and welcoming back hug that Johan gave him, is maybe what she needs after the event that she attended today. Fate inhaled and allowed herself to feel the presence of another human living person.

Johan saw Fate walking alone and knew immediately that she had a hard time today. Just seeing her back made him so much better but not so much knowing that there might not be a time when everything will be okay for her, and for him. He blew out a deep sigh and wished the others didn't take notice of it, then happily reached Fate and hugged her tightly. Their presence is really for each other and maybe also for the others who are familiar enough to creepily creep at them.

They had been watching them enough to consider them as their acquaintance. They had watch the two of them grow, they messed with their childhood; they gave them their attention that's why they were always the center of attention because of their bizarre doings. They were proud of doing so; until it became their defense against them when they grew up. And unfortunately it became their power against them yet fortunately enough they became a help to them. However only one of them can only literally see them.

Fate and Johan walked home together. It's not really their home, but it just felt like home to Johan when entering the house with Fate. The house's light was already turned on when they entered and Fate almost hadn't noticed it but once she felt the warmth that the light produced she squinted her eyes at Johan.

"what?" he said innocently

"you were already here, so why did you have to meet me outside, were you worrriiiiied about me? Did you missss me".

"no, I was just concerned….."

"really?"

"of course, I mean of course I'm worried and yeah, maybe I missed you. Because I need you alive and well, I don't have any house to go to."

"well, maybe if you just go down a little bit, you can actually find your big, nice house down there, why bother to come up here"

"well, it's because I want to be here with you, you know have a little chit chat here, maybe you know, you can actually feel now how much I love you."

"okay, enough you're making me sick and besides you rejected me when I confessed"

"really? I rejected you?"

"yeah"

And with that they both knew how each other felt, and just laughed it off.

"anyways, I already cooked something for us"

"sorry I still can't"

"sorry, I forgot, is still because of your, your…..."

"no, I just don't feel like eating today, but please eat and enjoy"

Johan feeling her exhaustion just didn't push more. He knew how tiring it is for her but felt saddened by the fact that she had to do this and she had to deal some of the consequences of her job. And actually felt sad also because he missed her and just want to eat dinner with her. Bad enough for him, she is already a grown up just like him, she no longer that girl that used to like him and his strangeness.

He checked everything made sure, the door was locked, the windows were secured, and the lights off; because she might blow up his ears about it in the morning. Fate's room light is already off that's why he retired to his room already, or the room he assigned to himself. No more chitchat today. Johan is still reading some of the documents that were advised to them when he heard a knock from his door. He hastily stood up and opened it, it was Fate was in front of his door and was now leaning in the doorway, she in her sleeping attire with her sleepy eyes.

"why, what's wrong", he asked, whispering. Not knowing why, he was whispering and trying to ask her why even if he knows exactly why she is there.

"baby"

" me, a baby? or you want a baby?"

"a babyyyyyyyyy ngeeebgartttttgggggsss"

And with that he just opened the door for her and followed her as she walked her walk to his bed, then snuggled naturally. His lips curled into a little smile, let down the papers he was holding, snuck to his bed, then held her tighter than earlier.

Fate woke up early but Johan was earlier as expected. He had been moving around the house, checking everything when he had just been gone for a few days.

"just eat already and go to your work, it might take you half a day if you need to check everything"

Fate said, to stop him from roaming around the house. She didn't feel anything when she went home that's why she was not worried but him doing that, makes her want to worry if something did really follow her. She just wants to get rid of him, to have her own time but she needed to tell him, for awareness maybe. So while they were having their moment for coffee,

"do you remember Anita? I think she is your batch mate in high school"

"yeah, why?"

"it's her baby..."

"really, I thought she never had a baby because her husband left her"

"exactly…she had her miscarriage because she was stressed with the event, and no one even knew she was pregnant; even her. She only found out when she bled."

"oh really, so that's where you went, what did it want anyway?

"a proper burial, it turns out; the place where the buried the baby had almost become a canal. They transferred it to a more suitable place." explained Fate.

"about the baby? How did you know it was a baby"?

Johan listened as Fate narrated that events, and was shocked that she had been feeling that for months and he hadn't noticed it. She now knows how to deal with her stuff.

"so the tiny, cold hands are they gone now?" Johan asked.

"yeah, I think so…...wait have you been feeling something, are you feeling something now; that's why you had been checking every corner of the house?"

"no, of course not. If I did feel something, I know you had it before me"

"or?....."

"or what?", Johan asked in almost panicking manner

"or did you had baby that I never knew about, and it happened to be miscarried baby; because I'm telling you know. They are way scarier, the longer that they were hidden, the aggressive and grizzly they'll become…Did you had a baby?",she asked susoeciously but with a hint of sarcasm

"yes, I did and I still have a baby?

"WHAT????", Then where is that baby?

"the baby is in front of me, my bab..."

The punch of cringiness still hadn't reach Fate's understanding but when it finally reached her, she

"oughhhhhhh, ehhhh. Your lines are becoming more disappointing and stinky as you are getting older. Please stop it."

"I'm only 3 years older than you though I'm not as old as you're making me"

"still, you're older and getting older".

"okay, okay. I get it. I just really hope we won't be encountering like that again"

"I hope so too"
