Chapter 84 Silent

"If you won't stop crying I'll put you into silent myself." I threatened. She keeps on sobbing here inside our room.

Yup. Stella and I are sharing the same room while Jenna, Cassy, and Drena are sharing the same room next to us. It's already night time and the others are probably napping.

How could I ever sleep like this!?

I can sleep if I wanted to... but my awareness never sleeps and with her sobbing in the room and by my sensitive hearing, it bothers my awareness! This needs to stop!

When I got here after the conversation with Xenon, I took my bath and changed with my sleeping garments, just enough they called for dinner. After dinner we went to our rooms just then I discovered I will be sharing the room with Stella.

It wasn't a problem until this happened. I'm not in the mood for a run right now because these past few nights I haven't got asleep from the continuous runs at night to gather information and plan as well.

Don't get me wrong but those are for my satisfaction because I haven't gone on a mission and intense activities these past few weeks.

I need rest... my body might not feel the tiredness but my health calculation says I needed it.

"I'm sorry Claire... I can't help it. I love him... I do ever since. I don't want to lose him Claire... but he doesn't like me... I'm... disgusting. Who would ever love a killer?" She said in sadness.

Who would ever love a killer... it echoes in my mind.

"I do." She was too indulged with her thoughts that she didn't sense him coming. I purposely unlocked the door knowing that he will come.

"You took long enough," I said as I stand up and walked towards the door where he was already standing.

"Lu... cas..?" Stella said in shock and astonishment.

"Take your time, I won't be sleeping here anyway," I said to him.

"Thank you, Claire," Lucas said as he faced me and I just nodded.

I continued walking towards the other room just when I faced the door, I did not hesitate to knock it.

The most comfortable sleeping place I know.

Xenon's POV

I can't forget every single moment that happened earlier. She laughed... her angelic face even her melodic voice... She's too perfect for me.

How could I steal your heart, Claire? Will you ever love me back?

I can't sleep thinking of her just when someone knocked on my door. Whom could it be?

I am frustrated with that person who destroyed my precious moment thinking of my angel. I ignored it but it keeps on knocking again.

"Damn it!" I have no choice but to stand up and open it.

I opened the door frustratingly "Wha- Ow." My face immediately light up from the person revealed in front of me however I suddenly turned worried "Why? Is there something wrong?" I asked.

It's almost midnight but what is she doing here?

"Nothing. Lucas came so I have to stay here for the night." She stated lazily as she opened my door wider and walked towards my bed.

Don't tell me... I was slow for a moment but then, oh shi*!

"I would love to but-" I stopped when I saw her plopped down on my bed with her eyes closed.

"Just feel at home Xenon." She stated softly.

"For sure," I answered still stunned by her.

She keeps on surprising me, what could be more surprising about her??

I walked towards my bed and laid down beside her. "I was just thinking about you but you suddenly showed up," I murmured more to myself. I should keep on thinking about you which I do, so you will always be with me.

Her breathing was steady... she must be too tired because of what happened today. "How can you sleep so easily leaving me awake? Just how could I ever fall asleep watching this angelic face..?" I can bear not to sleep just by watching you.

I raised my hand and reached for her cheek but I stopped when I got near her face. I might wake her up... so I traced her face through the air slowly not touching her.

I respect Claire and I won't touch her without her permission.

"Please... love me... even not the way I do, but the way you can... just your love, and it will be the happiest moment of my life," I murmured too lowly to no one... ensuring I am the only one to hear.

I just stayed there watching her pretty angelic face that I won't get tired of looking at until I didn't realize I fall asleep.

Lucas' POV

"Lucas, what are you doing here?" She asked softly.

"I wanted to see you," I answered as I walked towards her.

"Aren't you mad at me?" She asked, her red puffy eyes are full of worry.

She cried... because of me.

"I'm not mad, I wasn't mad. I told you I needed time to think and I already get it. See? It didn't last a day." I let out a small smile as I sit on the bed beside her.

"Aren't you feel disgusted by me? My hands... it kills many..." Her voice is full of sadness.

"Stella... you might have killed, but you saved many. You saved the girls and... you saved me." I said as I hold her soft warm hand.

How can this innocent-looking girl become the brutal killer, Uno? No one would ever believe it. Just how I was surprised by it.

"I'm sorry for not telling you about my identity." She looked down.

"Why are you still awake?" I asked changing the topic.

She faced me "I can't sleep." And she pouted.

So cute!

"You want me to help you?" Her forehead furrowed in confusion.

"How?" She asked and I smiled,

"This." "Agh!" I quickly pulled her down to the bed with me which made her make a noise of surprised shock, her head is lying on my right arm... and my left arm is on her waist hugging her.

I grinned "Open your eyes." I said when I saw her eyes still closed.

"You surprised me, you should have just, told me." She pouted again, this time I can't help but peck her lips.

She gasped and covered her lips using her small hand. "Hey!"

"What?" I asked looking innocent.

"Aish!" She turned her back at me. I smiled at her actions and pulled her closer to me hugging her tightly, closing all the distance I know.

Just how I dreamed every night to be with her, and now it did... came true.

"Sleep now, Stella..." I whispered to her.

I felt her hold my hand and so we intertwined our hands together as they perfectly fit for each other.

"Lucas..." It feels so good hearing my name rolled out her tongue.

"Hmmm."

"Don't leave me..." her voice seems desperate.

"I won't, just don't kick me away. Now go to sleep and don't think of anything. I won't leave you." I said softly and then I heard her quiet yawn. She's already sleepy.

Not long after I heard her steady breathing meaning she falls asleep.

I have so many questions for her, but it's not the right time. 'I love him... I do ever since.' But since when? One question that I'm curious about more than anything.

I don't even know that my nerd girl is already in love with me.
