Well, that was more emotionally draining that I thought it would be.

I'm back in the compound and just sneaked back into my room. Haru is not here and for once, i'm grateful for that. My mind is a complete mess and the last thing I need is someone to talk to. I'm in high need of a little me time.

My mind is running wild, questioning everything. Should I just go with the flow and see where Mayhem and I could go? He was right when he said we were both a complete mess. Both of us had broken souls I doubt would ever be completely repaired. But maybe together we could make it work? We both know the same kind of abuse. But is it really a good idea to put broken people together? Maybe, instead of fixing one another, we can break each other just as much.

I let out a sigh and begin to undress. I need some sleep, to progress what just happened. About what I just learned. 

Like always, I throw my clothes around the room and let my naked body fall down on the bed. I curl into myself and close my eyes, my arms fold around my head in a protective manner.

The moment I close my eyes I see Mayhem.

 The way he looked when he told his story anger so clear on his face, together with pure vulnerability. 

The way he looked after kissing me. He look adorably confused and I had started to wonder, how often did he kiss another person? 

I had kept my mouth shut thought, not wanting to embarrasses him. Shit, since when did I care about anyone else other than Haru and myself. He had completely turned me upside down in a matter of hours.

No, he has been doing this since the moment I met him, from the moment I noticed that his dark, mysterious eyes had started to following me. I never stood a chance, did I?

I feel myself drift asleep, those beautiful dark eyes the last thing on my mind.

Big hands wake me up from my deep sleep. "Ssssh" a deep voice tells me close to my ear when I start to squirm around, trying to get out of the unfamiliar hold.

"Mayhem?" I sleepily whisper. "Yeah, I couldn't sleep" he says, almost daring me to tell him to fuck off. I say nothing and turn around. Uncharacteristically, like I have been for the past couple of days, I cuddle into the bare, strong chest that is in front of me and breath in his calming scent. 

"Whatever, don't wake me up again." I say, my eyes closing once again due to being only half asleep. He chuckles, his chest softly vibrates from the sound. God it's fucking hot, he needs to give me a break.

I let myself relax and fall back asleep, feeling safe and protected.

Soft lips kiss my forehead, gently waking me up from a comfortable sleep. "Wake up, Levi. Breakfast will run out" Mayhem whispers against my forehead. Who knew he could be so gentle? He probably didn't even know it himself.
