Boys Over Flowers (Herophine fanfiction)

Chapter 48🌹

*

They gave me several lectures after the meeting and it's already 8pm.
  "Alright then. It's getting late so let's resume the lessons tomorrow morning."
Clapping his hands like a leader, Hero exclaims and today's lesson is over. God I'm exhausted. Everyone in the room goes home one by one, leaving just Hero and me. As I was to follow the rest of us, I felt a grip on my arm. From the skin where Hero's palm touches a tingling feeling radiates through my body as my heartbeat picks up its speed.
"Can we talk for a second?"
He looks serious yet relaxed, which makes me nod without hesitation. Smiling a bit, he slides his hand down to my palms and pulls me to the balcony attached to his room. The cold December air envelopes us as soon as we go outside. It wasn't that cold while the sun was up but it's freezing now since it's already past 8. We reach to the farthest end and line side by side. There is some space between us and I do t feel his warmth from where I'm standing unfortunately. Above us is a dark sky decorated with multiple stars. I didn't know that this many stars can be seen in LA. But the reason why I can now is around the Tiffin mansion is surrounded by forest-like trees and a vast yard. Suddenly, a wind blows and I inevitably shiver due to the lack of the jacket above my thin sweater. Noticing my state, he turns to me.
"Are you cold?"
"Yeah. A little."
Despite the skin of my arms covered with goosebumps, I answer.
"Here."
He extends his arm to me, telling me to take his hand. I oblige and soon my back is pressed to his hard, warm chest while my upper limbs are covered by his long arms. I didn't expect this but it's a good surprise. At the moment, he's holding both of my hands and gently drawing circles with his thumbs, making the butterflies in my stomach fly. This is not like what we usually do when we're alone since most of the time we are playfully arguing over trivial things. However, I cherish this moment so much that I wish the clock stops striking for a while.

We stay silent like that for I don't know how long with hearing each other's breaths and observing the stars. Occasionally, bugs add some tender music to the quiet air, adding more romantic atmosphere.
"Are you nervous?"
All of a sudden, Hero says just above a whisper, not bursting the bubble trapping us. The mood makes me honest somehow and I tell the truth.
"Very."
He, then, nuzzles his nose to crook of my neck, swelling my heart with too much love. If he does anything that make me swoon, I swear I'm gonna have a heart attack.
"I am, too. But I know you can do it."
"Because I'm the only one that you've approved of?"
I tease him with reciting his words. He amusedly chuckles in response.
"What else would the reason be? You're the best because you're mine."
Him calling me his annoys a part of me since I feel like I'm one of his properties. Nevertheless, my heart never fails to skip the beat every single time. Maybe I'm a masochist. Fuck.
"You're such an arrogant duck."
With a chuckle I playfully scold him, swatting his arm.
"But you like it, don't you?"
I can't see his face but it's too obvious he's smirking. Annoying... since he's got the point.
"No comment."
I don't give what he wants that easily so I lie for the first time tonight though the answer is clearly written on my grin. Knowing the answer, too, he tightens his hug like I'm a squishy stuffed animal. And I squeak, telling him to let me go.
"You're a terrible liar."
He closers to my ear and whispers. Now I can't help having a heart attack. My heart is drumming the chest wall like a maniac and is pumping too much blood making me dizzy. I feel like I became a drug addict.
"Shut up."
Turning back to him in his arms, I glare at him, only to fail miserably in the end with bursting in a fit of giggles.
"No. You shut up."
Mirroring my expression, he states before towering his long torso and capturing my lips with his. His kiss is tender and loving unlike his harsh attitude, which I love since it lets me know that he's completely off-guarded when he's with me. Because I know that deep inside of him is exactly like his kiss.

It's been a while since our last kiss because of all the dramas and in spite of the fact that we have kissed only a few times, still our lips move in a perfect sync as though they are customized for each other. Soon his tongue brushes my bottom lip asking to enter. We've never kissed with our tongues but I don't take any moment before parting my lips and welcoming him. The sensation is new and unfamiliar yet it's more addicting than the previous kisses. He tastes like mint which is the same as the first kiss we shared and so is the riot of butterflies in my gut. The more my lips touches his, the more I want though it sounds strange and nonsense. Right now, there is no one but us in this world time has forgotten to pass. There is nowhere I hope to be other than here with him like this. Him and me, together, forever. I sound cheesy as hell to the point where I get fed up with myself but it's the genuine feeling.

My lips has gotten swollen and softer when my insensitive stomach loudly grumbles, reminding me that I haven't eaten anything today yet. Hero laughs out loud with ending the session of our lips and straightening his back. Blood ascends all the way to my head in embarrassment. He's laughing so hard that he's almost even hyperventilating. This asshole.
Then, his stomach also roars and this is my time to burst into laughter. In a second, his cheeks turn into rosy pink.
"Don't laugh at me, Langford!! Now let's get inside and eat since we're both hungry!"
Pouting, he hurries to the inside of his room with holding my hand as I follow him amused. Man, he's just like a 5-year-old boy.
