Cupa POV
What he said truely broke my heart, because it was the one thing I never expected him to say. I held his hands tighter,until I let go and threw my arms around him. "I didnt want to hear that, not from you Pyro..." I began to tear up, trying to hold them back.
"Cupa? Are you okay?" He sounded worried and stroked my hair, hugging me tight. "Please dont cry..." I couldnt hold them back anymore and let the tears roll down my cheeks, the hot salty tears that Pyro would never see again. I sniffed, trying to pull myself together.
"Are you crying Cupa? Im sorry...If I knew you would end shedding a tear, I wouldve never have done what I did. Im sorry Cupa..." He sounded choked up, so I looked up at his face. His dark brown hair now a midnight black at the tips and his beautiful green eyes now a dull bluish-gray, but I could see him shedding a tear. A tear for me. He didnt care nor gave any attention to his condition, he only worried about mine.
"Pyro...why?" I asked, wiping away my tears.
"Why what?" He asked back, letting go of me.
"Why...do you care so much about me? You have stichtes in your abdomen, cuts and bruises all over, your hair changed color and you lost your sight, but all you seem to care about is me. Why?" What I saw next surprised me. He looked down at me and smiled. How? How could he smile like this?
"Cupa, your special to me. Youve become a good friend of mine and I always put a friends needs before my own. Cupa, I could lose more than my vision and I would still put your concern and safety above my own." He pet my head, laughing a little. I couldnt help but smile. "Friend huh...?"
...
Its been 5 days since that day and Ive gotta say, both me and Pyro are making impressive rcovery. Ive had my cast removed and I could now walk with only a minor limp. Pyro had his stitches removed and kept his his hair the way it was. With his blindness, he's progressing well and could be able to do some of the things he did before. Though he wouldnt need his glasses anymore, he kept them as a keepsake, as hope to one day regain his vision. Right now, he was down in his lab while I was upstairs making him lunch.
"Cupa? You up here?" he called, hearing his footsteps near the kitchen.
"Yeah, in the kitchen." I replied, chopping onions and meat. I heard him approach from behind and his hands covered my eyes. I smiled and blushed slightly.
"I have something I want to show you." He whispered, sending chills down my spine. How I wanted him to hold me close but instead spun me around and I gasped in surprise. He had his green eyecolor back!
"Like them?" Pyro asked, smiling, " I remember you saying that you like the shade of green my eyes had, so...I did the best I could to reduplicate them into contacts" I smiled wide, my heart racing knowing he went through all that trouble for me. All I did was hug him tight, kissing his cheek. I giggled as I saw him blush bright redstone red and he didnt move, probably because he was embarrased.
"I like them alot Pyro. I do." I sounded more sincere than I had planned, but Pyro just kissed my forehead and stroked my hair.
"I did this because even though I cant see you, I still want to make you happy After all, my friends happiness comes first." He had a sincere smile on his face and I noticed he had been stroking my back. I blushed immediately.
"Please dont say that." I said, tearing a little and hugging him tighter. He felt so warm and comforting and I could cleary smell his scent, which reminded me of honey and apples. I looked up, seeing his green contacts look into my golden orange eyes and I teared more.
Pyro wiped a tear away, a sad expression on his face. "Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" He continued to wipe my tears away and continued with his concerened face.
"Pyro...I...Please dont say Im just a friend..." I teared even more, hot salty tears rolling down my cheek. "Because...I...I-" I was cut off by his finger pressed to my lips and whats more...he started to chuckle. Now I was confused, here I was trying to tell him how I feel and he basically laughs.
"Cupa, do you know day is today" He asked, which was obvious.
"D-December 24th, Christmas eve" I answered, wondering why that mattered.
"You dont remember do you? I cant say Im surprised, you were only 5 then." What!? How did he know me from when I w-...he remembered.
"You remember me...? H-How long ha-" Cut off again by his finger.
"I remembered when I was dying in the corner of that crater, I started to remember my childhood and my time in the Valley Of Creepers, you know, die with a happy memory. Anyways, that time for me was Christmas Eve 10 years ago. The little girl Ive been friends with since Ive arrived knew I would be leaving soon and had been avoiding me. When I finally confronted her about it, she just broke into tears and begged me not to leave her."
"Oh my Notch...thats when.." I thought, remembering what happened next.
""You know what she said after she begged me not to leave?" He pulled me closer, my face close to his and practically inches away. I teared even more and smiled wide.
"Tell me..."
Pyro, who was usually dense when I tried showing my affection in the past, would say the words Ive dreamed of hearing from him. With his hands down to my hips I couldnt help bu raise my leg to his side, which he stroked down slowly and stoped at my thigh.
"I love you"
With those words lingering in my ears, he slowly pressed his lips against mine and placed his left hand behind my neck. I gladly kissed back, hot tears rolling down faster as I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck. I was so happy, the man I loved since I was a child remembered my words even though we might not have seen each other again. When he left, I was heartbroken and though I told my mother my problems, she told me I wasnt old enough to know what love meant.
We slowly started to break way, until I started whimpering in his mouth that I wanted more and he pressed his tongue inside, playing with my small tongue and the two of them intertwining. I only broke away for a couple moments, taking my time to smile sweetly and return his felings.
"I love you too...Pyro"
We embraced again and I mentally proved my mother wrong. "This is love, created and shared between two people with deep care and feelings for each other. I understand now mother, what it is like to be loved and to love.
