Chapter 250- Too early, Too soon** (Part 1)
(First smutty part in the series. Enjoy :p)
After having her Acht-O-meter charged up perfectly, Leislet smiled with a satisfied look on her face that radiated in the room and sat down on the chair.
On the other side, Acht could feel himself drained because of it, and even his muscles somehow relaxed completely as if he was going to sleep. So, he slapped his face a few times lightly and sat in front of Leislet.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" He began.
"Nothing, really. I just missed you so much that I could barely restrain myself." She replied.
Acht sighed and looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Spit it out. What's wrong?"
"Huh, what do you mean? I don't get what you're talking about." She averted her eyes and didn't try to face him directly.
Acht sighed again and stood up from his seat before walking around the desk and to Leislet. Then, he turned the chair so that she could face him directly. After that, he put his hands on the chair's arms so that she doesn't have anywhere to run away.
"Listen, Leislet. How long have we known each other?"
"5 years, 3 months, and 14 days… Oh, if we count this day then it's 15 days" She replied quickly like a machine.
"That's way too accurate!" He exclaimed with a confused look.
She shrugged her shoulders as if what she said were just known facts that everyone knew.
"How can I forget the moment I met the love of my life? You underestimate me too much, Acht." Her smile turned extremely warm and her gentle eyes looked deeply into his irises.
For a moment, he felt slightly embarrassed by her words but he still took a deep breath.
"We have known each other for more than 5 years, I know you well enough to see when you are clearly hiding something or not. So, spit it out." He continued.
"Um, no…I, I…" She was still hesitant.
Acht had no plan of giving up so he changed his approach.
"Ok, I understand… You don't trust me enough to tell me. I feel hurt, Leislet." He replied as he faked disappointment.
"No! I didn't mean to make you feel like that!" She replied in clear panic and distress. Her eyes wandered back and forth between Acht and her hands. Then, she clenched them and said.
"Can I request something from you, Acht?" She asked.
"I'm all ears."
"Can you… not go in this expedition?"
Acht's eyes widened for a moment before he sat down again and smiled slightly.
"Why is that?"
"It's… It's really dangerous, Acht. This expedition will most likely be the most dangerous thing ever done since the descension war. Many will die and even more, will probably get heavily injured. I thought a lot about it and no matter how it always ends up with the worst scenario for us. The thought of losing you scares me, Acht." She muttered with tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.
"Didn't we face enough danger already? We can just leave this matter to the others who want to. How about we just continue that peaceful life we had? No pain and no suffering."
Acht took a deep breath before exhaling as he tapped with his fingers on the chair seemingly in deep thought. His eyes looked deeply at Leislet.
"You are sometimes so childish, Leislet."
"That's not the point, Acht! You know way better than I do that things will most likely turn south there and you can be one of those affected!"
She stood up and walked toward him with an agitated look on her face.
"Hahaha!" He chuckled.
"What is making you laugh?!" Her frustration became more and more apparent. Her hand moved and held his shoulders tightly.
"Do you really think that if we continued to live as we did, things will always be peaceful and easy? Do you really think we will be able to have a quiet life and that no more wars and deaths will happen? Believe it or not, life is way too shitty to be that kind. We can certainly do whatever you said, however, we are going to regret that for sure." His eyes softened up considerably when he spoke every word.
"B-But.."
"Think about it. You have your own dreams and I have mine. We both chase those dreams and try to make them real. That's good and dandy. However, does the 'real' you actually believe in leaving everything behind just for the sake of creating an illusion of a good life?"
"I-I…"
"I know it's dangerous and I know that most likely I will have to face a great threat. But, isn't that what living is all about? We face challenges and we beat them and then we fae bigger challenges and we beat those too. That's how we prove to those we love that we aren't a bunch of fucking cowards and you are the same, Leislet."
He lifted her chin up and made her eye him directly.
"What you should've said was 'We should go and support each other until we can reach our goals'. That's what the real 'you' will say."
"I'm scared… Acht."
"I know…"
"I feel like our journey will end there and it terrifies me."
"I know…"
"I don't want to lose this happiness that I painstakingly created from the ground up."
"I'm well aware of that."
He nodded to each and every word she said without trying to hide anything. He had no reason to hide anything from her. She had already proven time and time again that he could put all of his trust in her and he will never regret it.
"What should I do?… Hick… I'm lost." She covered her eyes with her arm and tried to hold her tears from falling down.
Acht knew how she felt and he could not find the words to actually stop her from fearing this expedition.
So, he let his actions speak since they can replace a thousand words. He bent over and closed the distance between them, his eyes closed slowly and he left all of his actions to move purely on emotions. After that…
"Huh…" Leislet felt a warm feeling on her lips out of no where. Her mind didn't register what that feeling was for the first few seconds. So, she put down her arm to take a look, and much to her surprise… Acht was kissing her, on the lips.
