expression of GRATITUDE blooms upon his face as the familiar warmth is pressed against his body. there’s nothing as calming as macie’s closeness, no other thing or person can even TRY to compare. a deep sigh escapes his lips when saeyoung GIVES IN, nuzzling his face against her soft hair. probably, she can heart how LOUD the beating of his heart is, wasn’t it the reason why she approached him in the first place? it seems like she KNOWS, always ––– she just knows. wrapping his arms around her tiny form, saeyoung returns the embrace. this closeness is like a gust of FRESH AIR, filling his clenched lungs — – - letting him BREATH.
he attempts to focus on macie’s touch. her arms around him, GENTLE strokes of her fingers tangled in his messy hair. as his nose runs through the dark strands, saeyoung inhales the most beautiful of scents. this time, he will not cry, and it’s MORE than a mere promise made to himself. the DARKEST of thoughts whirling in his head become replaced by the sweet words he WHISPERS, desperately, all those thank-you’s and assurances of his LOVE barely audible. sometimes he doesn’t feel GUILTY for how she has to deal with his panic attacks.
so, so MANY times the voices in his head tease him about it, if you lov e her, why won’t you just let her go? in the end, saeyoung is always too scared. getting lost between her macie’s arms is like another reminder that it’s where he BEGINS and ENDS. his only HOME, his only source of calmness. his lips reach for hers, desperately, in another SELFISH act. ‘ i love you so much, ‘ doesn’t it sound pathetic, his murmur uncontrollably turning into a whimper? ‘ i want to make you THE HAPPIEST. ‘
later on, when he lies next to her and she looks so PEACEFUL with her head against his shoulder, saeyoung realizes that for the first time today his heart beating has returned to NORMAL. it’s a nice awareness, even if sleep is no less distant than usual. affectionately, saeyoung places a few kisses upon macie’s forehead, extremely careful not to wake his BELOVED up. –––– Mary, Mother of God, my mother, Queen of Peace, ask your Son Jesus to give me the gift of peace. Pray for me for peace; peace in my heart, peace of mind and of soul, peace in my family, peace with all whom I meet, the peace of Jesus.
