Modo gently turned him around. So, they looked at each other straight in the eye.
Vinnie growled slightly and opened his eyes and looked at Modo. He did not say anything.
They looked at each other in silence.
Finally Modo opened his mouth, but he did not get the sound out. There was only a weak grunt: "I'm sorry .."
Vinnie blinked when Modo leaned closer and kissed him.
"I'm sorry too ..", Vinnie groaned weakly, almost powerless. "I missed you .."
Modo kissed him passionately, but he began to cry weakly.
"Do not ..", Vinnie began to cry too. "Do not ..", he groaned almost silently. "Too many tears on this day ..!"
"Not anymore", Modo growled and hugged him. "Please, no more .."
They lay quietly and held each other.
Vinnie finally fell asleep.
"Forgive me, cutie ..", Modo groaned silently. His voice was hoarse from crying. "You are the most wonderful. And I messed everything .. once again .. "
