Volume 32 I need my Shion back

Daniel carrying a small bag in his hands arrived at Shion's private hotel room, he was looking a mess. Taking a sleeping Takato in his arms Daniel said, "I will babysit bunny for tonight…or maybe a couple of days." His face was red, the presence of his son restricted him from consuming alcohol. Daniel handed Takato to Talin so he would have a word with Shion, "I can see you are hurting Shion, are you willing to give up this easily?" Shion pouring a glass of whiskey replied, "I hate all this…I love Yuri, but I heard him empathising my love." Daniel took the glass away from him, "Drinking isn't the answer, clear your head alright. You need to sleep. I will tack you in bed." Daniel switching off the light said, "Call me if you need anything."

Daniel met up with Yuri at the door, looking at him he said, "If you truly love him then go in there and fix your mess Yuri, but if you are in love with Victor now is a good time to walk away." Yuri's face was a mess, the bruise on his cheek was untreated, his eyes were swollen. "What is the password Daniel?" The last thing Yuri wanted was to face another criticism. Walking past Yuri, he replied, "Figure it out yourself, he is on the other side of the door…I can see you are desperately waiting to see him." Daniel entered the elevator and waved at Yuri before the door closed. Yuri tried all possible passwords, from their birthday, Takato's birthday…but one password went through, and it was their wedding day. Yuri slowly pushed the door open; he saw Shion pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

The glass in his hands slipped and shattered on the ground, Yuri was trembling down to his boots. Shion looking at him said, "It is unfair of you to show your face here, I have set you free Yuri. You don't have to feel guilty Victor will compensate me for the five years l looked after you." "I hate all this Shion…I am sorry my words hurt you but they were meaningless words I used to get Victor off my back. You can slap me all you want but I truly love you, punish me all you want but please don't push me away." It was so hard for Shion to believe Yuri had just disposed his feelings for Victor, he chucked down his whiskey. Shion was too tired, his body felt weak from lack of sleep, "Please leave, I need to rest." Yuri knelt on the floor, he buried his face on the ground, "If I leave this room without resolving this issue I will regret it Shion…" "When did you realise you loved me and not Victor?" with cold eyes Shion glared at Yuri. "At first I was in denial of my feelings for you but gradually the feelings became clearer and deeper, I was already married to Victor so I buried my love for you deep inside my heart. The moments we shared together were enough to cover for my unrequited love for you, the pain of being separated from you hurt me more than losing my life. I fell in love with you the first day I met you." There was a moment of silence in the room, tears trickled down Shion's eyes. Before he walked into his room he said, "Please lock the door before you leave." Yuri standing at the closed door said, "My heart feels safe with you Shion, to me my marriage is perfect with you in it. I love you." It was clear Sion needed space, Yuri indeed locked the door and walked away.

Drenched in wet clothes Yuri arrived at the palace, the maids were worried about the couple. Victor looking at Yuri said, "Yuri are you alright…" "How can I be alright when my husband wants a divorce, I am not okay! I need my Shion back." Yuri broke down to tears as he lashed out at Victor. Deep down in his heart Victor felt really glad the two were separating, "Yuri, will you come with me to our home?" Slapping Victor so hard it left an imprint, Yuri replied, "This is my home, I will wait till my husband returns. Pack your bags and leave my house Victor." After taking a hot bath Yuri felt so cold sleeping all alone, the trace of Shion was visible in the house. Yuri hugging Shion's coat managed to fall asleep, even in his sleep he kept mumbling his name.

Shion painting from exhaustion opened his bedroom door and saw Yuri sound asleep hugging his jacket. "I love you Yuri…" he gave Yuri a passionate kiss before he took a bath and changed clothes. Shion noticed that Yuri had taken sleeping pills, he poured the whole bottle in the toilet. Shion cuddled with Yuri, all night long he hugged his wife close to his chest. Yuri woke up early in the morning, without looking at the face he already knew the scent and warmth of his husband. Yuri tightly hugged Shion as he silently dropped tears, "Back then I felt the same way Yuri, I am sorry for being overdramatic…I love you." A voice belonging to Shion confessed to his wife. "I love you Shion." Yuri gave Shion a passionate romantic kiss, both of their stomachs growled they both busted out in laughter.
