14 CHAPTER 14

Why is he doing this? Doesn't he hate me? I was questioning the situation to find no answer. This look so wrong if ever the others will see it.

This felt wrong, yet it felt right somehow and then something cracked and the only thing that was running in my mind was how this felt familiar. My mind was swirling in avoid filled with confusion and questions.

Can we just look back how we were always wanting to kill each other back then? We were on each other's throat. He called me weak and he almost punched me. He slammed me into a wall, he almost killed me at dinner and now he's acting like this.

Maybe this is a plan. Maybe he's up to something. Maybe he's trying to expose me. I mean that's not the case anymore since my powers are starting to show. Or maybe that's the reason!?

He's starting to accept me because I now have my powers? No. he is Hade Morning star, that's too good to be true.

And I recall our kingdoms are rivals, well not in reality but academic matters wise since they always wanted to overthrow our reign as the greatest kingdom to with outstanding students and heirs to ever step foot upon the kingdom. Well except for those two abyssal hobos who I encountered yesterday.

Maybe he is planning something. But I sense no danger from him. I brushed the feeling off as I found it very unrealistic. Everything right now was very unrealistic.

"H-Hade, the others m-may see us." I said calmly as I observed him with his eyes close. How can a man be so beautiful?

His curly dark hairs were temping my hands to run through them, but I restrained myself as I did not want to anger him. This was a new side of him and I would lie if I said I didn't like him this way.

I mean there was nothing wrong with him being so cold and always looking like he's going to kill everyone he sees but I would want him to be a little less violent but who am I kidding. He was raised by his father to whom I do not know about.

Father does not speak the name of The Fire King and I have little less knowledge about them but all I know is that their king is not the nicest to say the least. Maybe Hade got it from his dad.

"I'm sorry for hitting you with that bat." I said as I remembered the scene vividly.

"You also have to pay for that." I shivered as I felt his lips move against the fabric of my clothes.

"But don't worry, it won't be that heavy." I could feel him smiling and to my surprise, it made me smile as well.

"Hade the o-others-"

"They can't see us. I've placed a binding invisible spell." He cut me off. I just sighed and didn't move. We stayed in comfortable silence for a few moments until my back started to hurt.

"H-Hade my back is starting to hurt." He sat up and pushed me to the head of the bed where I have something to support my back. His actions although made my eyes go wide and made me gasp at the same time.

I blushed a tint and I knew he could see it as he was wearing a satisfied smirk. He was on top of me and his eyes were looking deep into me as if it wanted to devour me whole. I pushed him away but to no avail. He just laughed and placed his pillow on my lap before plopping back down.

"Hade why are you nice today."

"Hmmm?"

"Why are you nice today. The day you met me you were not the happiest in the bunch and yesterday you looked like you wanted to burn me to death."

I said in total honesty. I needed to know why and maybe this is the perfect timing to ease the unknown tension between us. I heard him laugh before he looked up and fixed his gaze on me.

Unlike before, his gaze seemed to hold warmth within them and it got me confused as to why was he looking at me like someone he holds dear within his heart.

"It is true that I was not the happiest when I saw you. But it doesn't mean that I wasn't least happy to see you again. Now, I'm just happy to be able to do this again, with you." He was smiling while he said those words.

"I'm glad that you're here princess. I just had to make sure that you were really here with me Alex. I can't take another blow." He snuggled even deeper into me as if he was afraid to lose me.

My mind was swirling in question as to what he was talking about. He kept saying again when we haven't met. He kept saying again when I do not remember any memories of him. He keeps saying he's happy to see me again when I have not seen him before.

And yet what he said made me feel pain in my heart and I would be a fool to deny this feeling. I could feel the longing and sadness. And I could feel happiness within those words that was so unfamiliar yet familiar.

I did not know that I have laid my hands on his head and started to play with his hair. His hold was still strong, and his face was nuzzled on my body. My mind was confused but my body did the things my mind said I shouldn't.

My mind said don't, but I did. My mind said don't hold him, but I did. My mind said don't hug him, but I did. My mind said don't cry, but I did. My heart was aching for reasons I do not know of. My body was longing for him for reasons I also do not know of.

My existence felt like it was waiting for this moment to happen and I do not know as to what the reasons are. A tear fell from my eyes and landed onto his. He opened those beautiful dark orbs and it made me cry even more. I was restraining myself to release a sob, but I could not hold it back.

I was crying because of the pain that felt so familiar and old. I was sobbing because something told me that I was missing parts and this boy was one of them. He looked at me with such soft gaze that it made me want to just hug him and cry even more.

I wanted to say I miss you, but I don't know why I craved to say it so. He sat up and cupped my face. His face held longing and despair and it made me hurt even more.

"I-I do not know you Hade but these feelings, t-they feel familiar. They feel old. These feelings, they feel like they are for you. H-Hade I do not know you, I do not recall any memory of you, I have never met you and y-yet. I-I u-unknowingly longed for y-you for reasons I do not know of. H-Hade, I am c-confused b-but my feelings are real."

I said between cries. I was lost. Just a few moments before I was happy, unaware of the feelings that were there. It's funny how I almost started if not hate him and yet I'm crying on his arms right now.

I looked at him again and his face showed even more emotion. Sadness, longing, despair and regret. He moved so that our foreheads would touch. Our nose were inches away from each other and our breaths started to become one.

"There are things you are better off not knowing. But this I could tell you. Those feelings, these feelings."

"They are real, and they exist for a reason. They are there because I am here. I survived for me to meet you here. Princess I died to hold you here."

I died for me to kiss you here. And now that you're here, I once again claim that you are mine."

"Reasons and memories may seem distant but feelings last despite the vast story of the past. I have longed for you and now I can kiss you again, at last."

Under the barrier of invisibility, under the stars and the moon, with but separate from the people who from the start I felt familiar with.

His lips touched mine and my lips met his. I trembled within his touch as he held me within his grasp. Tonight, where all seems right and bright. I met the person with the person that owned me.

In this moment, I was one with the person who I unknowingly yearned for. Under the eyes of the one that curses, his lips tasted like yesterday, his touch felt like memories, and his existence felt like my world filled with uncertainty.
