Kai's POV? No shit, Sherlock
What.
The.
Fuck.
Whoever that is, he's a spitting image of him. Is it him? It can't be him. But Lloyd said it was... But Lloyd doesn't know everything. It's probably just a trap.
But it's him, though. It's him.
I want to say something, literally anything, just to break this wretched silence, but I can't.
There's suddenly a bunch of things I can't.
I can't move. I can't talk. I can't look away. My body and my brain seem to have disconnected from each other.
Is it- It can't be. But it is.
"Hey, Kai."
That's his voice. I haven't heard his voice in two months, but it's his. I recognize it like I recognize every little detail about him. It's him. It has to be.
"I- I'm not dead."
He's right here. He's not dead. He never was, was he? What is happening? Why did any of this happen? If it's really him, why did the universe ever take him away?
He looks down, eyes closed, obviously crying. And my body can finally respond again. No way I'm gonna watch my JJ cry like that without doing anything.
I put my arms around him, my only intention to make him feel okay. I haven't seen him in two months, I haven't had the chance to hold him. And I haven't had the chance to tell him how much I love him anymore, either. There should never be a last time again, not ever.
"I love you." I whisper. It wasn't supposed to be a whisper, but my throat hurts. I can only hope he heard me. I sob, because he's here, he's home, what in the world?
"I love you so much." Jay whispers, confirmation that he did hear me. I cry a little more, because I can't not. But for the first time in forever, they're happy tears, and only happy tears. Crying because I love him. Crying because he loves me. Crying because I lost him but he's back, he's really back!
I slowly loosen up and pull away from the hug a little so I can look into his electrifying eyes. I missed them so much. They're not the same in pictures, they look hollow. Or maybe that's just me.
The only thing that's left for me to do is kiss him. Kiss him like there's no tomorrow, because the world has cruelly shown us there might not be a tomorrow.
"I really, really want to kiss you right now."
He nods.
And so I press my lips onto his, and it's better than I remember it, maybe because I haven't felt it in forever. It's like I've come home after a long day. A really, really long day. Our tears reach our lips. The salty taste enters our mouths, but it makes no difference. He's home. It's him, and he's home.
"It's you." My voice is hoarse. "It's really you." I can't stop crying. He's back. He's back! What the fuck?
"Yeah." Jay grabs a hold of me, and for the first time since he left, I feel safe. "It's okay. I'm here now."
Please, don't ever let me go.
"Happy anniversary, by the way."
