A while later...
Muku had sohow managed to talk Hope into changing how she sat on him.
He turned the chair into a sofa and made her sit with both legs on one side. He couldn’t completely make her get off, but the current position was way better than the initial one.
The girl really knew how to make him sweat. And the worst part was how she didn’t know what she was doing.
Anyway, with that out of the way. They could finally talk.
"So, tell little sis, how have you been? Did anyone bully you? Tell and I’ll take care of them if they are here" Muku asked about Hope’s well-being while indirectly throwing shade at Jade.
It was obvious that there was only one person he suspected might bully Hope. Of course, he was only joking... Who the hell in their right mind would try to bully soone who had traceless poison under their control?
"Hehe. Don’t worry Big Brother. I’m really strong. No one dares bully . In fact, if there’s anyone who bullied you, tell and I’ll take care of them for you!" Hope replied with a bright smile on her face.
Nothing made her happier than when Muku showed concern for her well-being. And that’s the reason Muku said what he said in the first place. He had long studied this little sister of his and knew how to make her happy.
"Oh yeah, you’re right. I had forgotten how amazing and strong my little sister is. Nobody dares bully you. As for , there’s also no one. You know how strong our family is. There’s simply no one in the whole world who can do such a thing. And even if they are stronger than us, of course we can always run away in style!" Muku instantly got into his goofy mode for his sister whom he hadn’t seen for a long ti.
While Hope did her best and was now extrely good at hiding her emotions, Muku could still tell. Even though she was happy and bright like she was in the past around him.
He could see that her light was slightly dimr than before and her smile wasn’t as free. It was clear that the separation had taken its toll on her. She was just acting like it didn’t.
And seeing that pained Muku a lot. But instead of ruining the mood, he chose to pretend like he didn’t notice it. He decided to make her as happy as possible in the little ti they had together.
Although he knew that he wouldn’t be able to make up for the past year they were separated, he was dead set on trying his best. It was better to give her happy mories of their brief reunion instead of adding sad ones. She had enough of those already.
And so, just like that, the brother and sister spent the next hour talking and laughing freely. They told each general stuff which happened to them during their separation.
Neither ntioned the negative things as that would only make the other party worry without being able to do anything. And that wasn’t sothing they wanted to see. For that reason, the two were in a blissful state during that hour.
That was until Hope who had been smiling and laughing suddenly started crying.
"What’s wrong Hope? Did I say sothing wrong? Is there a problem?" Muku asked in a concerned voice.
Though he was almost certain that he knew why she was crying...
"No, you didn’t do anything wrong. And there’s no problem. I just missed you so much. I always feel the happiest and most alive when you’re around. That’s why knowing that we’ll have to separate again soon really hurts a lot. I don’t want to separate. Why’s the world so cruel..." Hope poured her heart out in a choked voice then continued crying.
Muku imdiately pulled her into a hug. Her hugged her tightly without saying anything for a little while then he spoke slowly into her ear...
"I know it hurts. Trust , I feel as much pain as you do. It’s taking everything in not to cry along with you. But, instead of looking at the negatives, I’d much rather look at the positives. Instead of looking at the ti that’s left before we see each other again, I choose to see the ti which has passed. And that ti is over a year. Which ans there’s less than a year before we see each other again. More than half the ti has passed. Now isn’t that worth celebrating instead of crying over? And don’t you think this little separation which is left will make our reunion even more grand and happy? I don’t know about you, but I’m more than willing to wait for that happiness. Especially with the knowledge that we’ll never be apart again after that" Muku narrated his thoughts softly to the girl.
By the ti he was done, she had stopped crying and was just listening quietly while hugging him tightly.
Her hug which seed unwilling to let go loosened up a little bit as she listened. It was clear that Muku had convinced her.
Which was great because he wouldn’t know what to do if she still wasn’t convinced and continued crying. He was really no good at dealing with crying girls.
He had gotten a little better over ti but it was still hard. Of course, he ant what he said. And that’s really how he saw things.
There was no reason to be sad about sothing which couldn’t be changed. Especially when you knew when it was going to end and a happy ending was guaranteed after it...
"Thank you, brother. I really needed that. You always know what to say. That’s one of the many things I love about you... Then again, I love everything about you. Anyway, now I can patiently wait for the day you return with a smile on my face... I think I should go. I’ve already stayed for way longer than I should have. There’s soone else who wants so alone ti with you after all..." Hope spoke softly while still hugging Muku.
She reluctantly pulled away from the hug after she finished speaking. Muku let her since he agreed with her. There was still one more person from the team he hadn’t seen. And they really had taken too long compared to the ones who ca before Hope.
"See you later..." Muku said to Hope.
She paused. Turned around, ran to him, gave him another quick hug then ran out through the portal.
She felt that if she didn’t run she might not have been able to leave...
She apologised to Audrey after reaching the other side for taking too long. To which Audrey gave her an understanding nod then jumped through the portal. It was clear that Audrey only cared about being alone with Muku for that mont...
....
On the other side...
"Hello there strang... Oof! Seems sobody couldn’t wait to see Mmmm mmm" Muku greeted Audrey as she ca through while walking over.
However, Audrey didn’t say anything or wait for him to finish what he was saying. She literally threw herself into his arms and knocked him back a few steps as he was not expecting it.
He tried to continue after catching her and stabilising himself, however, Audrey didn’t give him the ti. Her lips quickly found their way to his. And so, a long session of fierce, longing-filled kissing ensued.
Muku backed up with Audrey in his arms until he was back on the couch. He sat down with Audrey still in his arms. She ended up in the position Hope was in when she first hugged him.
However, unlike then, the position was natural and made sense. After all, Audrey was his girl, his first girl in fact. The duo’s session continued for over twenty minutes with their hands dancing all over each other’s bodies.
They wished to, wanted to and should have done more but it was currently impossible. So they could only burn as much passion with the kissing as they could.
But it was obvious that the scene was just a prelude to sothing which was guaranteed to happen the next ti they t. At that ti, even if the world were to burn around them, they wouldn’t care. They wouldn’t stop. That’s how much they desired each other.
It was only after thirty minutes that the two separated. Muku was breathing heavily and Audrey would have been doing the sa too if she were in her physical body.
Even though they weren’t kissing each other anymore, the passion in their eyes didn’t decrease at all. If anything, it was burning more and more. If only they weren’t separated by worlds. Then a show unlike any other would have ensued.
"I missed you" Muku spoke simple words. But the emotions behind them were so heavy Audrey shivered a little.
Not that she was creeped out or disliked it, it was quite the opposite actually. She loved it. And it was impossible to dislike it when she herself felt the sa. Hell, she felt that way even before he did.
Back in the days he still saw her as nothing but his student’s mother and teammate. She already held those heavy feelings for him.
"Not as much as I did you" Audrey responded.
Or was it better to say she declared... The emotions she showed were just as heavy as Muku’s...
