SMOOSHING him against the wall, Hussey kept his head crushing the wall. Never letting his head get away from her grasp.
The guy soon cried, pleading to let her go when she twisted his neck.
Squeezing him with the same pain he inflicted to her lover moment ago when she wasn’t there on time.
Hussey groaned when he tried to say something but was having a hard time, choking noises can only be heard from him so she loosened her grip.
“I-I wasn’t doing anything!” She slammed his face again, resulting him to fall down the ground. Hussey spat at him.
When the stranger got up and ran away from the scene, Hussey knelt with her one knee to held Aeschylus’ neck where she can see it’s forming purple.
“Let me see—”
“N-No. . . !” He cleared his throat when he stuttered, he mustered his smile to her. “I’m fine, I think we should go.”
Aeschylus was ready to walk away.
While Hussey stared at the ruined flowers on the ground, lines appeared between her brows before picking them up.
She caught up with her boyfriend and followed the same pace he made. “Hey, what about the movie—”
“We missed it.”
Hussey halted then stared at the back of his head, he didn’t even stop when she stopped.
For the following seconds of standing there, she cursed herself, she wished to even punch her head like it would somehow make it better or something like that.
It was silent, the uneasy one.
No words were caused during the walk to his home. Hussey wasn’t sure if he wanted her to get near him or even hear from her.
The blowing breeze danced along their strands, that made the scars peeped from his forehead.
Aeschylus didn’t have any second layer; it was kind of cold there as it’s already rainy season in their country.
Only the purple sweater was keeping him warm.
Hussey took off her jacket in attempt to give it to Aeschylus. “Are you cold?”
She was about to wrap it around his shoulders when she was stopped by his cold tone.
“No.”
“Oh, okay. Are you hungry? We can drop by some fast food hub for a moment.”
“No.” She flinched when he answered her without second thoughts.
Sealing her mouth, she stopped asking questions anymore to not get into his nerves more.
Maybe she should leave him be, maybe not the best time to talk about it.
Now she wanted to beat herself up for making him feel this way, maybe once she got home, she’ll ask Eiassey and Mezzari to kill her.
But first, Hussey must fry Astennu and Kye alive and peel their skin off.
If she didn’t have a heart she would already chopped the head of the stupid guy who dared to lay a finger on him.
Ugh! This is so frustrating! Hussey couldn’t take it anymore, she pulled her hair and pinched herself until she’s satisfied.
When they got to the Nase residence, Aeschylus still didn’t interact with her nor even try to glance at her.
It wasn’t surprising when his mother wasn’t home.
Aeschylus sat on the couch which Hussey soon followed.
The side of her eyes peered at him, not wanting to make it obvious that she was staring.
“H-Hey wanna—baby, why are you tearing up?” Hussey panicked after she landed her eyes on him.
His shoulders started moving up and down. She was so scared because she knew she was the reason.
“D-Do you want to break up with me?” if he said that a little louder it would seem real to him.
Her pupils dilated same with her lips when it slacked off, she narrowed her eyes at his shaking hands on his lap.
Tears ran down his features while his eyes stayed on the floor. “If you wanted it, just do it. At least make these f-feelings go a-away. . . .”
Felt like her heart torn into small pieces after hearing his pained voice. How can she do this to her sweet baby?
She gathered him in her arms, firmly. Hussey clasped their fingers together. “No, no, no. Baby, never. That would never happen!”
He removed his hands between hers to cover his face, face was in deep red like he had been hiding the pain for a long time and now was the time to burst out.
Hussey shushed him, hands not letting him go. One was rubbing his back and the other was wiping his tears dry.
She pressed her lips numerous times on his forehead, she let him burry his head in her neck, she provided herself to him whatever she can do for him that will somehow ease his chest.
“I love you, Sky. I really do, please don’t say that again. I would never break up with you. Is that what you want? Hmm?” He shook his head, she scooped his bangs away to let him feel some air. “You’re everything that I could wish for, nothing can ever make me stop loving you.”
“How can you wish for someone like me? I’m nothing, a wimp, a nuisance, fucking paranoid over nothing—”
She sealed him with a kiss to stop him for saying bad things about himself. It somehow comforted him but the sobs never left him after the shared kiss.
“You know that’s nothing for me, right? All the things you see in yourself are contrary to how I view you.” She planted kisses on his jaw.
“I can’t even change myself, you want me to know how to defend myself and yet I let you down, I never change any bit. Still useless as ever—”
“I never wanted you to change, if you change you’re not the Aeschylus I love. You just started, Sky, not because you started training means you’ll get better immediately. Time will always be present if you want to learn.”
When he didn’t speak, she gave him three kisses on his jaw again, then whispered, “Stop saying nonsense again, okay? It will never help you in any way. If something is causing you trouble, don’t hesitate to talk to me, talk to Lazzini. Your best buddy will always understand you.”
Her lips quivered. He’s like this because I failed him, am I even good to him? I promised that nothing can ever harm him again but why did this happen?
Hussey didn’t make it obvious when tears formed in her waterlines. She’s blaming herself for everything that had happen.
She may want to voice these stuff out yet she couldn’t, she’ll only drag him down more and he’ll pretty much going to blame himself if ever she said the things that’s going on in her head.
It should be him first before her, because between them—she’s stronger, mentally and physically.
No matter what happen, she should be there for him.
Just having Aeschylus beside her—where she can freely hold him was more than enough to appease her.
