Chapter 71
COLORFUL RAINBOW
FIRA’S POV
I stayed at King Wind’s room for about three days, the kings were taking care of me until one day, I woke up in the bed of King Fire. I looked around to see that I was not dreaming.
I am really in his room. Has he come back?
I moved a little bit. My back was not completely healed, but it was recovering fast due to Hali’s purification of water. He was using his power on me.
A smile formed on my lips as I felt that it was not that painful. Possibly, Saza was looking for me for about a day now. I slowly moved to find my sandals so I could go back to my work. Cass would probably miss me and worry at the same time. I was about to stand up when the door opened so I looked at it.
My eyes widened as I saw Pyro, holding a tray of food. When his look viewed me, he walked faster, brought down the tray of food on the side table and then sat on the bed and… kissed me.
Crap. Is he kissing me? Am I not dreaming?
I could not recover from the shock. I was staring at nowhere while feeling his lips on mine. The kiss lasted. I could not even move. The butterflies in my stomach were doing uncoordinated movements that caused happiness to my whole system. My heart was jumping as if it would be going out to my chest. He was not moving, he just pressed his lips on mine.
He gave a little distance between our bodies and caressed my cheek. I could see the worry in his face, the eyebags, the exhaustion which I had no idea why he felt like that.
“How’s everything? Are you okay? Is your back still in pain? How are you feeling right now? Answer me, Dearest.” Every time I was about to answer his words, he was bursting with another question so I could not cut his words.
Is he worried so much? Crap. Going back to the kiss, why did he do that?
“I’m good now.” I looked away as I was trying to hide my shyness.
He kissed me.
That word repeated to my head over and over again. I wanted to smile, but he would think that I was crazy so I prevented myself.
Am I starting to fall in love with him?
Pyro closed his mouth, he just moved closer to me and hugged me so tight, but he was preventing me from touching my back. I wrapped my hands on his neck, buried my face on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
It was so good to hug him like this. I felt the overloading light in my chest that made me smile. No talking. Just hugging. No moving. Just feeling the moment.
Did I start to love him? Or Am I deeply in love without me not knowing?
Whatever it is. I am so happy to be with him. I am so glad that we are close like this. I am smiling as if he is the best thing that has happened to me.
Pyro…
My king.
My dearest.
Suddenly, I felt him adjusting his face on my neck, and he gave it a small kiss. We stayed at that position for almost ten minutes until I noticed that he was sleeping. He fell asleep on my shoulder, but his hands were still tightly hugging me.
A genuine smile was gradually forming in my lips as I slowly put him down to the bed. He looked so tired. So exhausted.
“Where have you been? You look awful.” I was talking to his sleeping face. I did not expect that he would answer.
“King task. I did that in just a days even though it was supposed to be weeks, because I was worrying about you.” He opened his eyes and held my hand. “Lay beside me.”
I followed him. He was on the right side and I was on the left side. We both faced each other, staring at every detail of our faces. I could see the tiredness in his eyebag, but he still looked handsome.
“How’s a king’s task?” My voice was sweet as I watched the blinking of his small almond eyes.
“Good. Tiring.” He closed his eyes and gently moved closer to me. He was avoiding touching my back again. “I have one wish. Do you want to know?”
“Hmm? What’s that?” I touched his forehead and moved aside the strand of hair, slightly blocking his eyebrow.
“I wish I was omega like you. Not a king. Not Pyro. Not royal.”
My look in his face deepened, he was just shutting his eyes while saying those. “Why? Is there something wrong?”
“Fira…” He opened his eyes again, shook his head, and opened his mouth, but no word came out.
“It’s okay. You can tell me. What’s the matter?” I gazed at the spark of his eyes, it was twinkling as if he was looking at the beautiful view. I am not beautiful though.
“I…” He closed his eyes deeply, let out a loud frustrated sigh. “I want to be with you.”
“I’m with you.” I showed him the radiating smile that I was holding from the moment we laid in the bed together.
“Forever.” He continued as he raised his hand, cupped my cheek and moved closer. He left so little an inch in our faces. “I want to be with you forever. Just you and me.”
My jaw dropped by the shock he was giving me.
Be with me forever? Just the two of us? What is he saying? He wants to spend his lifetime with me?
“You showed me that life can be as perfect as this.” He put our noses together. I could almost smell his cool mint breath.
“It’s not true that you’re low born, low rank or just a serving omega. Because for me… you’re the sun that is in high position and reflecting its light to many. The true low born are those people who can’t see how special the omegas are.” He moved his thumb on my cheek into a curvy motion.
“My task as a king is observing the omegas, providing their needs and knowing their lackings, but they said… they’re contended with their lives. The family is the treasure they have. I want to be like that. I want to…” He shut his mouth, closed his eyes. The frustration was written on his face. He shook his head again as if he was avoiding something to say.
“I just need to rest. I have no sleep. Eat your food. I put it on the side table.” He was fast talking.
“Did you eat?”
“Yes. Just go up and eat.” He blew a sigh of sleepiness and then let himself drown in drowsiness.
I did not go up immediately as he was telling me. I stared at his face for so long until I could feel that he was deep sleeping.
I went closer to him and let myself touch his cheek with my lips.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Do I need a confirmation to finally say that I am in love with you, King Fire?
My life turned into a colorful rainbow. Wherever I go I can see its beauty.
