"Well, I certainly didn’t expect you’d been this busy! I thought you spontaneously took so ti off from leading a continent!... You could’ve told ... I an told us, your friends! We would’ve helped!"
The two won sat on an abstract bench that Sera made. They gently leaned against one another while staring at the colorful, headache-inducing ground.
Bea’s left hand stayed on Sera’s waist, while the Angel placed her arm carefully around her friend’s shoulder.
"Yeah, I kind of regretting that decision now, but to be fair, I wasn’t really thinking straight when I left... And after arriving in North Arica, I felt it was too late, so I decided to venture forth only with Faith by my side..."
While speaking, her hand accidentally squeezed Bea’s shoulder, which caused their eyes to et. A pair of golden eyes with green edges stared into a pair of green with golden edges. They were both each other’s opposite and reflection.
"Don’t bla yourself. You weren’t the only one making poor decisions... We can’t change the past, so let’s not focus on that anymore... What are you planning to do? When are you coming back?"
Sera smiled gently at her ex, then leaned back against the abstract bench, her hand gently brushing Bea’s.
"My plans are pretty simple! I hold on to my sanity until the end, whenever that might be..."
"Eventually, I’ll co back though, but for now I can’t. North Arica is perfect for keeping control over my bloodlust, which I’ll need in the near future! When the locks finally break, I will return!"
Bea just chuckled at Sera’s serious words. She gently placed her head on the Angel’s shoulder, which might’ve been an overstep, but since Sera said nothing, Bea stayed there.
"You’re really ominous. When did you adopt this soothsayer personality? You’re acting like a prophet or sothing... People miss you. Not just your leadership or fighting prowess... You were the glue keeping everyone together, we all feel lost without your presence..."
She couldn’t help but blush while saying those words. There was a hidden aning behind them, and she really hoped Sera wouldn’t notice... However, Bea should’ve known better...
The Angel giggled, her shaking body reverberating in Bea’s own. Her right hand’s index finger made tiny circles along her ex’s shoulder and arm.
"Oh, ’we’ feel lost? I know you more than anyone else, Bea... Why don’t you just say it! No need to feel embarrassed! There’s nobody else here!..."
Bea’s face turned red as a tomato. She kept trying to look away from Sera, but sohow those golden-green eyes always found hers.
"Co on, say it! What’s the worst that could happen?"
Sera whispered right into Bea’s ear. She had to suffocate a moan upon feeling her ex’s breath gently brushing her sensitive skin.
mories kept popping up in her head about intimate tis spent together. Bea always felt weak when her partners whispered, licked, or bitten her ears. It was one of her secret sensitive areas, and Sera, of course, knew about it too!
"We... No, I miss you!... I spent a lot of ti digesting everything. I regretted many decisions in my life... But my worst mistake was giving up on us!"
"When I ca back from the other Realm, I believed everything would return to normal. However, I didn’t expect you moving on, and I reacted like a child throwing a tantrum... I’m sorry for–"
Before Bea could’ve finished the sentence, Sera reached over and smacked her on the head. Confused, she glanced towards her ex. The Angel’s face showed clear signs of anger, but it wasn’t aid towards Bea.
"Don’t excuse my Rational Self’s shitty behavior. While you didn’t handle the situation the best, everything was mostly my fault... Also, don’t forget who pushed us further away. Or did you forget why everyone got mad at you that night?"
Bea squeezed her free hand in anger until all her knuckles turned white. She rembered perfectly what happened. Even worse, Otto himself later told her the details... His lies...
Back then, Bea felt depressed and betrayed, so she found solace in drinking. Otto also appeared at her table and he happily drank with her.
However, later, when she was already his prisoner, he shared the details from that night...
She woke up next to Otto naked, and later he lied and said they shared so intimate monts, but in reality nothing happened. Otto simply put sothing in Bea’s drink, which knocked even an Ascended out.
He said there was a mont when he played with the idea of rape, but instead he just took her clothes and laid in the sa bed.
A shiver went down Bea’s spine, just from recalling that horrible mory. Luckily, Sera’s reassuring hand found hers and all it took was a gentle squeeze to banish all the awful thoughts.
"Don’t bla yourself. If you really want to be angry at soone, let it be , since my mistakes pushed you closer to Otto... I’m sorry for all the pain my Rational Half caused!"
Bea’s anger ended as fast as it began. Her eyes slowly crawled up Sera’s body until it landed back on her bewitching eyes. She snuggled a bit closer, her hand grabbing her ex’s waist more tightly.
"Nope. I won’t be mad at you... We all made mistakes, and as I said, we should leave them behind... I would love a fresh page to start over. So, how about instead of going on about our issues, let’s forget everything and start anew!"
Sera’s light laughter further helped in lifting Bea’s spirits. She felt as the Angel’s delicate hand played with a lock of her shiny, brown hair.
"That would be amazing, but sadly, it’s not possible. I can’t simply forget these past few years, no matter how hard I try... Instead of ignoring them, we learn from our mistakes, and see where this road will lead us!"
Bea’s expression went from happy and hopeful to depressed, but as Sera continued talking, a smile began growing on her lips.
"Yeah, you’re right, as always... But where does this leave us? Are we just exes? Maybe acquaintances? Friends, or perhaps sothing more?... I think I made my position obvious, but how about you?"
The Angel simply smiled and leaned her head against Bea’s own. Their hairs cascaded down behind them, entangling like a golden-brown waterfall.
"We’re everything you listed and sothing more! We’re both mothers! We’re both individuals who aspire to a better future!... And I’m fairly certain my position is also clear about our future. However, if we want to try again, we need to set a few rules!"
With glistening eyes, Bea glanced up at her ex in utter shock. She could barely believe Sera’s words, but still they ignited the flas of love inside her heart.
Bea nodded enthusiastically, not willing to let this opportunity go to waste. She previously thought there was no future for them, however, this conversation easily proved her wrong.
"First, we can’t jump in like last ti, luckily the distance between us already prevents that, but even after we et face-to-face, we need to take out ti... Otherwise, a similar or even worse outco awaits us!"
She agreed with Sera’s sentint instantly. Last ti, they basically trauma bonded and, in the end, hurt each other pretty badly. They never truly dated, and instead jumped right into the relationship.
Now they’ve received a second chance at life, so they shouldn’t make the sa mistakes twice!
"Second, after I co back and everything cools down, we need to thoroughly talk about our family..."
"I don’t want to pressure you or anything, but I’m Nick’s mother. I know it’s a sore subject because of Bran, but I’ll always be his mother, and if that’s a problem for you, we shouldn’t even try with this relationship!"
Bea just giggled with a bit of embarrassnt and discomfort. Sera’s curious eyes stared down at her, and with a small blush, she explained...
"Well, actually... I already t little Nick, when Vicky introduced us... However, there was a bit of miscommunication... I called Vicky ’my daughter’ and Nick... Uh... He called ’mommy’..."
After saying those words, Bea’s face only turned more red, and Sera’s silence didn’t help either. A few seconds later, though, the Angel’s body began shaking as she burst into laughter.
"So at least one issue is solved!... I’m just a bit angry, since nobody told my son had his first words! But that’s not you fault, it’s Vicky’s!... I’ll have Faith send an angry ssage to her!..."
"Anyway, you shouldn’t feel pressure towards Nick. He probably already forgot how he referred to you. You don’t have to be his parent figure if you prefer not to!"
For a mont, Bea nearly agreed with a wide grin. However, she quickly realized that this decision was like the ti when they adopted Vicky...
It turned out as one of the best decision of Bea’s life, nevertheless she agreed way too soon, without properly thinking through...
Bea didn’t make the sa mistakes twice, and so instead of agreeing or rejecting, she simply acknowledged Sera’s words. She’ll think everything through later, when her turbulent emotions cald down.
"And finally, the third rule... Don’t tell anyone about this conversation, especially not Vicky... There’s a chance thing don’t work out, and I don’t want to get her hopes up!"
The magnificent woman, leaning against Sera, nodded slowly. Their conversation ca to an end, which ant this reunion also reached its closure.
They stayed there silently, leaning against each other, reminiscing about happier tis. Gradually, Bea began fading from the abstract world, from Sera’s subconscious...
Their eyes t one final ti before Bea finally returned to reality!
