At last…

Really, it had been barely days since this whole story started but Yasuo couldn't have wait any longer. Finally a kiss, what he died to do for a moment. Now it was done, they were free to take advantage of that forever.

Oh Yi's response to it was a blessing, true passion that didn't wait to be released. At first anger still guided his reaction then it was soothed by their feelings.

Yasuo was angry too. They both were, to a serious point. That stare when they found each other was telling of Yi's anger. He remembered, a bit earlier when he felt it from his soulmate. The most likely was that he sensed Yasuo coming. He feels that too. Yet to be confirmed but he was sure.

Now Yi was holding him tightly, hard embrace that gave away the strenght of emotions in the moment. Incredible, to see how fast they went from contained fury to an open-heart conversation.

Not too far. I'll try. Still difficult to correctly grasp the fact that someone was ready to follow him to hell and back. Almost making him change his tactic a bit, since he would have to pay attention to the risks he put Yi through. Damnit. Now he understood such extreme worry from the latter. Himself didn't feel so well about putting his soulmate at risk because of his way of fighting. By saying he wouldn't be able to follow, it still heavily meant that he would still go as far as possible. Yasuo wasn't ready to see the limit to that, which could be death. As simply as that.

Fuck.

This was what he deserved for underestimating one's dedication by love. Now he would have to endure it as well and make sure Yi was safe. A bit ridiculous to realize, both would do as much as possible for the other and by it make these respective efforts useless. This would give him a headache if he thought too much.

Instead, he hugged back the best he could. He had his soulmate right there, in the safest place in Runeterra. I'll protect you too. So it wasn't one-sided. They both cared deeply for each other.

« Hey, tell me. Did you feel it too ? »

« What ? » A bit muffled in his scarf, given the way Yi held him.

« Errr I don't know how to explain but I think you know. Instinct, that kind of crap. I don't actually know where to find you but still a bit yes. »

« Oh. Then yes, I know what you're talking about. I cannot explain it. » Again so thoughtful, face turned slightly. The embrace remained all the same. « I felt your pain. And anger. »

« Yeah, that too. I felt how you were ready to beat the shit out of me once I had found you. » Impossible to hold back that chuckle, now that all negativity was purged for a time.

« I really thought I would but I won't harm someone already wounded. Plus, you weren't that wrong and I wasn't that right. »

« Awww you care about me… » Dumb smile maybe but he couldn't help it. He had found his special someone and no way for him to give him back. Over his dead body.

« Since all this shitshow was just about your wound, yes, to say I care about you would be an understatement. »

Meeting his gaze, Yasuo found so much dedication in there, he was almost scared for his life on reflex although it was the opposite. Nothing bad would happen now that he had Yi by his side.

Next second, he was caught into a kiss that stole all his words. Such urgency to keep him close, it made him melt on the spot. Hands clung to him and his scarf, keeping him into this soft exchange for as long as they could bear.

When at last they broke apart to breathe, Yi had such a nice look, a bit hazy like after a long dream. Lips a bit pinker after such attention, slightly open as he recovered his breath, simply gorgeous.

The words spilled before he could hold it back.

« I love you. » Like an evidence. It was his truth, something that would never change. His heart dropped and jumped back to life at the same time.

Right then, the latter went still. These beautiful eyes alike emeralds filled with sudden emotion, added to all they already felt before. Was it really needed to add to the pile ? Yasuo died innerly for that sweet reaction, to be looked at like he was a miracle. To be loved.

His mark tingled a little. Warm, as strange as it could be. Not in a bad way. To have a physical reaction out of this was surreal.

« I love you too. »

How could words have such impact ? It was nothing really new for them and yet Yasuo felt that close of shedding a few tears.

It surely showed on his face because amidst the dark blush, he saw Yi smiling with such fondness. So precious.

As if they needed more, the latter pushed him lightly off balance while holding him firmly, till he fell gently in the grass. Too fast move, Yasuo didn't register everything. Only the result counted, he was on the ground, pillowed by the grass and he was joined as quick. Just above him, Yi looked both happy and overwhelmed by the latest confession. Soon it would break and there was no garanty they would make it.

Oh darling…

Lips found his with hunger, silencing him for a while. Yasuo could die right then and there, he wouldn't complain. Pulled with care into this kiss, he gave everything back till the last drop. His love, his heart, his body, only for one man. His.

It would be easy to forget the war, as if it never happened. Even though it was the exact reason they found each other. For now, he clung to Yi and followed that passionate kiss. Blissfully unaware of the world around.

Soon reality would find them but it was alright to let go just for an instant. While they could hold each other.
