A Moment Of Peace

Varian looked at Sarah in silence. Even though his eyes were wide and shaking, he didn't move an inch from his position.

His fists clenched before he knew it and veins popped up as if they were about to burst the boiling blood inside.

'I-It's…It's…'

He wanted to remain strong, to maintain a firm mind even in this situation. Because the problem wasn't solved yet.

Still…

A moment of relaxing his breath…

Varian was hugging her before he even knew it. The familiar touch of the girl he thought he lost long ago filled him with joy.

The familiar fragrance, one that reminded him of the academy days when he first met her, soothed his scarred soul.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!"

Only then did he finally hear her soft, sweet and comforting voice as she patted his back.

"Sarah," Varian pulled back from his hug and held her shoulders. "Why are you crying?"
