-ADRIANA-

LOCATION: UNKNOWN, JAPAN

"Adriana." He breathes out.

Tears start to form in my eyes as he steps towards me.

I shake my head and step back, a couple of tears falling effortlessly down my face.

"J-just stay there, please." I say and his outreached hand drops as he nods understandingly.

"Sofía told me what really happened," I say meekly as I take a deep breath.

"And I wanted to say," I pause, trying to hold back the tears. "I wanted to say I'm sorry." My voice gives out on the last word.

"Adrian-" He starts but I hold up a hand to stop him.

"You didn't do anything to me, you didn't hurt me, you didn't shoot me, you didn't stab me, and you didn't try to kill me." I choke out and his face softens.

He spreads his arms open and walks to me slowly.

Once he's in front of me I practically jump into his arms.

They wrap around me and press me against him as close as possible but even then, it's not enough.

I grab his shirt and ball it in my hands, clutching the material while I start crying into his chest.

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you, I'm sorry I tried to kill you, I'm sorry I called you a liar and traitor, I'm sorry I got in a coma, fuck I'm sorry I didn't wake up sooner, I'm sorry I put you through tha-"

He pulls away from me, frowning.

"Don't say that. Don't apologize. You have nothing to apologize for. Your reaction was perfectly normal, I'd be more concerned if you trusted me automatically." He chuckles awkwardly.

I sniffle and wipe my eyes with the back of my hand.

"C'mere." He says as he opens his arms again and I lean into him.

He picks me up with ease and walks me over to the bed.

He sits on the side, peeling back the blanket before swinging his legs under them and covers both of us.

I'm laying on his chest as he rubs my back comfortingly with one hand and twirls my hair in the other.

My eyes start to droop and I feel myself drift off to sleep.

I wrap my arms around the arm twirling my hair and he gives it to me to hug.

I close my eyes as he continues to rub my back soothingly and nudge my head up so it's under his.

"I know you're asleep," He says after a couple of minutes, but I'm not.

"But for what it's worth," He whispers as he takes the hand that way rubbing my back off, and wraps it around me.

"I wasn't using you, I care for you, fucking hell I love you, I love you so much it scares me Adriana, I've never felt like this about anyone before and I never want to it to stop." He whispers before he presses a long kiss to the top of my head.

After he says that, he repeats it in both French and Italian.

I try to contain my smile but I can't.

I turn my head up to see him looking down at me tiredly.

When he sees my smile the corners of his mouth turn up into a small drained smile.

"I love you too." I whisper back in French, English, and Italian, like he did, and he pulls me closer to him, kissing my temple before I close my eyes and fall asleep.
