Tangled Affair

'...tangled affair ...Yu has Zhou'

*'...being apart teaches us how to be together'

ZhouZhou POV

"Yu?"

My heart swell as I found U crouching beneath the couch, under the window.

On my knees, I reach on U and pull U in my embrace.

"Baby... I'm sorry."

U sob as soon as U hug me back.

"Ssshhh... Yu ...it's okay ...I'm here."

Our arms tightens around each other.

Our body rocks gently, I hum "I love Yu" to hush U.

As U nuzzling on my neck, I feel yours tears.

I lean and rain kisses on your forehead. 

And gently wipes away the sadness in your eyes with my lips.

My little Eskimo kiss made U smile a little.

U breathed "I love U more" on my mouth and give me a little kiss.

Sitting beside U, "Baby, tell me how can I take away your hurt?" I lean your head on my chest.

I wrap my one arm around your shoulder, rubbing it with my hand while holding your hands with my other hand.

"Having U here with me ease out the hurt, Babe," U murmur as U close your eyes and entwined our hands tighter.

We stay like that for a while.

Sitting in silence, caressing each others hand.

"Zhou..'" U turn to me and meet my eyes.

"...I was so scared back there." Your tears fell as U gaze on my face.

"I.. was.. too scared but I couldn't cry.." U lean on me, hide your head in my neck's crook.

U close your eyes, round your arms on my waist and hug me.

"I heard myself calling for a doctor while everyone's crying and panicking."

I feel U cringes as I encircle my arms around U.

"Breathe..." I pat your back gently, "...just breathe, Yu  ...take it easy."

I kiss your head, rocking U gently.

"...when everything's under control ...I sat on one corner and felt numb." U sob, I held U tighter.

U pull yourself up from me, hold my face with your both hands and brush your thumb on my cheeks.

"...but Baby, I held myself together when the thoughts of U came into my head."

I hold your hands over my face, and gave U a comforting smile.

"Zhou.. baby..," U kiss my lips, brush my bangs away from my eyes and stare lovingly at me, "..I can't imagine my life without U."

I kiss U deeply to hush U.

"Yu.. I'm going nowhere.. Why the hell U even thinking about that?" I furrows my brows but still smiling.

"I.. I'm sorry, baby." U kiss my palm. 

"I.. err.. U're my everything." U kiss my wrist.

I kiss U again just to stop U from blurting something U'll regret.

"Stop saying nonsense, Yu."

"I'm okay. U're okay. We're okay."

I playfully kiss the tip the tip of your nose.

U hold my nape to stop my head from moving, meet and devour my lips with yours.

"How do U feel now?" Sitting next to each other, our hands clasps together in your lap.

I lean against U and kiss your shoulder.

"Remember the day the first time we've met?" U ask instead.

"From that moment we've touched through our first handshake," U kiss my temple, "I never been feel better since then."

"I was so fuckin' nervous. My hands are sweating..," U grin, "...but of course I wiped it first before I held your hands."

I chuckles as I recall the memory.

"Yeah? ...but I remember your hands feels slimy then, eww!" I snort then laugh.

"What?..." U snap and turn to me..

"I was just teasing Yu!" I wink and blow U a kiss.

U grab me on my waist, pull me closer and lock me in your embrace.

"U little tease...," kissing the crown of my head, U hold me tight.

"I never would have thought that things could change so much only a year after I met Yu."

I cling to U and feel your heart beats.

"Yu never left my mind since that day," I looked up to U and kiss your chin, "..even I'm with Yu, I always think of Yu."

"...hmm" U lift my chin up and kiss me gently.

"U know I'll be here, right?"

I joined our hands together and hold them tighter.

"No matter how far and how long we're apart, I'll always be here for U."

U close your eyes, tears fell as U utter "thank U, Zhou."

I kiss your eyelids.

"Yu has Zhou, always."
