Traveler encountering Vexx - (angst)
Don't worry, it was clear enough ! I hope it is what you expected ☺️🤗
You spotted the red hair without difficulty. There he was, finally. You had been looking for him since the last heartbreaking meeting ; it was impossible for you to believe his hurtful words, so unlike him, so cruel yet not convincing. The anger that had disfigured his face had not reached his eyes, you were sure of that.
Or maybe you simply wanted to be sure, to convince yourself that your friend and lover, that your biggest pillar was still here.
You made your way through the crowd, trying to be as discreet as possible, waiting for him to walk to a more secluded place. It did not take long ; a few minute later, you penetrated into a dimly lit alley. The noise of the main street faded, as if it was absorbed by the tall walls surrounding your shaking figure. Your eyes, not yet used to the obscurity, did not allow you to see fast enough that the road before you was empty.
You felt a hand grab roughly the back of you neck, making it impossible for you to turn nor flee. The first shock was quickly replaced by the certitude of having succeeded. His calloused hand was revealing Vexx's identity. Doing your best to remain poised, your whispered ;
- Vexx, you're hurting me.
- I told you next time bad things would happen. I told you. I warned you.
His voice was trembling. You assumed it was from rage, and said nothing to not feed his anger, looking for the perfect way of phrasing your questions and confessions.
However, the shiver in Vexx's voice was not betraying his wrath but the utter fear that had creeped inside of him from the very moment he had noticed you following him.
He did not want to hurt you. Nor to see you killed. But what choice did he have? Did he have any choice to begin with? He had clung to the hope of knowing you were safe somewhere. But you were with mercenaries. And now with him. How could he not kill you? If he killed you, would it be besser? Worse? For him? For you?
Everything became blurry. He grabbed your neck more tightly. Nausea surged, overwhelming his throat. He heard your voice without listening to your words. He had to. It had to be him, not them. But his his sick self-inflicted brainwash was not enough ; he could not tighten his grip any more.
You heard his sobs. You felt the fingers finally release you. As your turned to face him, you saw him fall apart, fall on the ground, his knees deep in the dust as he looked down, giving you the relieving feeling you had won an arduous fight.
"Leave", he whimpered. "Leave", he repeated, broken, salty streams dirtying his face. "I can't do it. I won't be able to."
You did not know if he was stating his incapacity to hurt or to protect you. It did not matter : none were his duty. You crouched, imitating his posture, and cupped his right cheek. He leaned against your palm, his eyes still focused on avoiding you. You had never seen him so hurt and defenseless. However, you could still recognize Vexx, the one man who had always been worried for you, the one who was yearning for your affection while trying to refrain his own desires.
You made him lift his chin with a slight movement of you hand, begging him to look at you.
- You're alive and so am I. Promise me it will remain this way. Promise me to meet me again, soon, safe and sound. We will overcome that together.
He parted his lips, unsure of what to answer, but a glimmer of hope was now flickering in his eyes.
Still cupping his cheek, you approached your face. Your mouth reached his. He did not break the contact, and you deepened the kiss, attempting to snatch the oath directly from his lips.
Ultimately he answered, his lips pressing back, moving slowly. A new wave of relief warmed the pit of your stomach, quickly gaining your whole body.
You eventually stood up, helping him to do the same. No more words were necessary, which did not prevent you from ordering in a whisper :
The tall walls faded away behind you while the memory was engraving itself in your memory, fuelling your renewed determination. Soon, safe and sound.
