Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 305 - I love you
...***...
"It's not true, is it?" Lucia still wanted to convince her little heart.
"Do you think I'd ask you to be my lover if I was a same-sex lover?"
Lucia went silent confirming Rei's speech. "I like you! And I don't lie with my feelings. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. My heart beats faster every time I'm around you." Rei grabbed Lucia's hand and stuck it on her chest.
Lusia was dumbstruck, her hands could feel Rei's intense heart thump.
"But…"
"After all. Is this just your love for me? I mean.. If the rumor that says I'm a same-sex person is true, will you stop loving me? Are you gonna hate me when you know everything?" Rei was face to face with Lucia with teary eyes.
"Of course not! I wouldn't hate you even if that was the truth. I will still love you no matter what your circumstances, only I might be disappointed if it turns out that the reason you rejected me was this." Lucia has begun to be able to control herself, make her emotions lower and can start to be a little calmer.
"Then there's nothing to blame anymore. I told you what they said in the article wasn't true! So there's nothing you need to think about anymore."
Lucia hugged Rei tightly, she came back crying in her arms. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for believing so much in what they wrote in that article."
Rei returned Lucia's embrace, trying to make her calmer.
"I should have apologized for making you misunderstand. Sorry about the news that came up about me, you're everyone's subject." Rei rubbed slowly on Lucia's back.
After a while, they broke his embrace. Facing views in a short time, each admiring each other's beautiful irises.
"I love you." Lucia looked at her lover fixedly.
"I love you, too" Rei replied in a voice that was somehow always calm even under any circumstances.
"Your cheeks are red. Does it hurt?" Lucia rubbed the red part of her face.
"I'm fine" replied Rei.
"It must hurt, right? I'm really sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. All of that, just happened."
"No need to show it. I'm really okay."
"No. I'm the one who's not okay seeing you like this. Come sit down, let me help you get better." Lucia pulled Rei and asked him to sit on the bench that was there. The girl ran to the cafeteria, to buy ice to relieve the bruising she left behind.
Before long, Lucia returned with a plastic bag filled with ice cubes. He placed the ice on Rei's face.
"Is it better?" Lusia.
"Yes. Thank you." Thank you." Rei nodded with a smile.
"I'm sorry again. I really didn't do it on purpose, nor did I expect that my slap would be this hard." Lucia feels guilty.
"You don't have to apologize, because I deserve it. Consider it a punishment for worrying you and thinking no."
"I feel guilty." Lucia lowered her head.
"I was so emotional to see you with Fandy earlier" he murmured.
