Chapter 199: Will You Be Okay?
Kylian’s endearing smile, narrowing his drowsy ocean eyes made Zenith’s heart thump a little faster, as if all the uneasy palpitations gushing inside him until a second ago immediately vanished in thin air, the moment he had his beloved omega back in his arms.
The concerns regarding their bickering before didn’t matter anymore to each of them, especially when Kylian willingly leaned his head against his chest, exhaling a big huff of sigh, "What took you so long to come back? I was starting to get worried...do you know that?"
His sweet but worried voice echoed like a melody inside the peaceful small thatched hut, but wrapping his jacket tightly around Kylian, Zenith hold him tight against his chest as he had sensed his body temperature had dropped from sitting all this time outside at the doorstep, especially in this cold mountain breeze.
"And what about you? Why were you seated outside? Do you realize your body is freezing now...Kyle? Aren’t you feeling numb already?"
Zenith’s concern in his voice made Kylian toss a small chortle when he slowly shook his head in denial, still burying his face on his taut chest muscles, "It would be a lie if I say I wasn’t freezing over there. But still, I wanted to sit there and wait for you...to help you realize no matter where you go, you can always come back home, just like you did today. I...will be there to greet you, as always."
His soft but innocent mumble curved a small pleasant smile on Zenith’s lips, when pressing Kylian tighter against his chest, he muttered, "You’re already my home, babe."
"I know...and that’s why, I was waiting there for you." Slowly Kylian parted his head away from his chest and meeting his rolled big onyx eyes, he gulped before professing in a sincere tone, "I also wanted to apologize to you, Zenith. I am really sorry.
"I shouldn’t have said those words to you before...I know they must’ve sounded very hurtful. Zenith, I didn’t intend to push you away from me...but I guess, I just got a bit too scared upon watching the outcome of the lantern ritual. It made me freak out a bit harder, but...I shouldn’t have done that—"
Before Kylian could finish his murmur, Zenith tilted his head closer and placed a soft gentle peck on his rosy lips, making Kylian wince a bit hard when their lips touched each other’s yearning warmth for a fleeting moment.
