Chapter Fifty Four - Why
If guilt was eating him the entire afternoon after his disagree with the fox youkai, things only had gotten worse when he reached home. Some kids dropped dozens of dungbombs and it took him over three hours to make the store breathable again. Kagome usually waited for him to eat, even if she ended up sleeping in the living room. Because of it, he always tried hard to finish things early when she wasn't working.
However, when he opened the front door and saw his dinner waiting for him on the table, George knew she knew about his earlier display. Dropping his case, he immediately went looking for her, only to find the bedroom's door locked. He could easily open it, not even magic was needed, but he was at fault in the moment.
Dining was an activity he hasn't done alone in months. She made his favorite dish and here he was, eating in silence with only his misery as a company. Food has not tasted the same without her and his stomach was filled after a couple bites.
Over the sink in the bathroom was a set of pajamas and a towel. She really didn't want his presence in their room.
After a quick shower, he laid under the kotatsu his mother-in-law has sent a few days ago, a memory from their old home. Reflecting on his mistakes, George pondered how much Fred would have beaten him for being such an insecure, imbecile git. A restless sleep took over him.
He woke up a couple hours later with Kagome sitting by his side. Her red nose, swollen and wet eyes and pained expression hurt him more than the spell that took away his ear. Her gaze wasn't meeting his.
"What I did wrong?" her voice so low that George had trouble to hear.
He quickly rose from where he laid and moved to take her in his arms, but she shifted away from him. He tried again and she didn't back away this time but didn't embrace him back.
"You did nothing." he kissed the top of her head. "It's me. I fear that you will find someone better, someone perfect like you and leave me." he crushed her in a bear hug. "I need you. I-I l-love you m-more than I love myself. Please, forgive me."
He felt her shifting in his arms and loosened his embrace. She looked straight int his eyes. Her blue ones shining in the moonlight coming from the window.
"You are perfect. My perfect Johji." She kissed his cheek. "I love every bit of you." She sat in his lap and kissed the scar if the missing appendage. She kept planting sweet kissed all over his face. George held a breath when she traced his jawline with her lips.
George stopped her and held her face in front of his. "Am I forgiven?" she nodded. This time it was him who planted kisses on her. "Gods, I don't deserve you." she opened her mouth to speak but he prevented it with a kiss. "But I'm too selfish to let you go."
"Shut up, Johji."
George spent the rest of the night apologizing to her in every way. Between heavy breaths, moans, and kisses, he swore to never doubt her or himself again. Their love was strong as ever.
