Formatting might be off because I'm writing on mobile rn

Teo belongs to @14dayswithyou

_-__-_-_-_--_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_---_-_-_-_-_-_-

Teo's eyes followed the familiar frame on the dancefloor . The way her curves moved to the beat, hair swaying, the occasional glint of her jewellery when the lights hit her.

Jewellery he had gifted her.

Teo wasn't sure how long it had been. Almost a decade? Or perhaps more since he had last seen her.

She twirled in that awfully tantalising way that had made his stomach tighten in anticipation all those years ago. The way her hips and legs moved, the sensuality in every movement every step used to leave him almost yearning as pathetic as he had found it. Even now he could feel how she affected him. Almost a decade later he was still feeling a certain twitch in his pants watching her.

A slight stumble of hers snapped him out of his memories. Out of any remaining thoughts of how much he wanted her.

His eyes narrowed.

'Is she... Drunk..?'

An expression bordering on concern spread across the man's face, jaw clenching.

The woman was lost in herself and the music, stumbling occasionally as she danced, the glass in her hand occasionally spilling its contents, splashing onto her dress and the floor.

'... She's definitely drunk.'

Teo ran a hand through his black hair, having dropped the green dye a couple of years ago. For a second he contemplated if he should intervene. After all he had been the one to cut off all contact following a harrowing argument when she had accidentally slipped up and confessed her love to him.

In hindsight he could have definitely handled it better but years of pushing people with romantic interest away, simply indulging in fun and pleasure and feeling somewhat betrayed by the one person he thought he could have kept around for good.. even just for fun...

Fun.

Had she ever just been fun to him?

Teo watched her as she downed her glass, slowly getting more and more drunk, her stumbles becoming more frequent until she fully slipped on a piece of broken glass on the floor and fell.

The woman's sight was blurry and she yelped out only to find herself caught by a pair of strong arms.

She looked up to blurrily make out the shape of a tan black haired man. A drunken giggle escaped her lips.

"Hello there.. sirr..." She drunkenly slurred before subsequently passing out.

Teo sighed.

"Still can't hold your liquor as well, huh, doll.."

He quickly stood up and carried her bridal style out of the club and into his car, gently settling her into the passenger seat and putting his coat on her as a blanket. For a second he paused, his face awfully close to hers as he tucked her in.

She hadn't changed one bit. Still as beautiful as the day he met her.

Teo's eyes fell to her lips, a gloss still staining them. He had to swallow and quickly ducked out of the car to close the door before going around to settle in the driver's seat.

The drive to his place was quiet, the silence only broken by the hum of his car and the occasional cars going by. Uncharacteristic for Teo to drive so carefully but he would hate to wake her up.

Even if he would never admit it.

Every red light he hit he would steal glances as the sleeping woman, to make sure she was comfortable.. to make sure she was still there.

It was silly, especially to him. Though he had matured over the years he still didn't hold any potential romantic relationship in high regards. The thought of settling down with someone like that admittedly unsettled him. Perhaps even scared him.

Teo had never been one to date. And he was still not the type to do so, though a sliver of him would on occasion betray him and yearn for a connection with someone. Having a person he could return to. A person who'd listen. Who'd care.

Who'd provide him with the stability he never had growing up.

The more he thought about it his thoughts drifted to the woman he was now carrying to his spare bedroom.

Even back then she had been what he would consider a very close friend. Perhaps not on Leon's or Jae's level completely but awfully close to it.

She was a person he would call outside of wanting sex. Watching a movie he heard was shit but wanted to see for himself? Trying a new skincare routine she sent him? Cooking for him when he was sick and he was tired of his staff? She would always be the first number he'd call.

Now that he thought about it and looked down at her as he laid her down, she might as well have been more than Leon and Jae combined to him.

And it scared him.

Just like it had scared him back then. That little flutter his heart had done when she peered up at him all teary eyed, apologising for a feeling.

Something so natural. Something he had cut off contact with her for.

Teo gently traced her features, a somber look on hia face.

Was she perhaps 'the one that got away'?

Would it be possible to try with her?

He swallowed thickly, carefully taking off her jewellery with practiced ease, and putting it on the nightstand.

Just as he wanted to leave she awoke, staring at him all flushed and pouty.

"Where..amI..?"

Teo sighed, huffing out a soft chuckle alongside it.

"Don't worry, dollface. You're safe here. I think you know this room better than anyone else."

The woman blinked up at him.

".... Teo..?"

Goddammit he missed how his name fell from her lips.

With a soft hum he sat back down on the bed next to her, undoing his tie and some buttons of his shirt, preparing to go to bed as well.

".. Missedyou.."

She was slurring her words and clumsily sat up, coming closer to him before pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth and cheek in search for his lips.

"Doll.."

Teo's voice was laced with warning.

"I'm not fucking you tonight."

The woman whined in frustration.

"You're far too drunk right now."

He gently laid her down again and only helped her out of her dress to slip his shirt over her almost naked body-which to his displeasure still looked as breathtaking as all those years ago-gently buttoning it up again.

"Sleep. We will talk in the morning."

Teo hesitated before giving her a gentle pat on the head, getting up to leave only for her to pull him down again.

"Mornin?... We.. we didn't speak for.. for a decade and youu.. wannatalk lateerr??"

She glared at him.

"How dare you"

And that's when her tears started. Accusatory pointing and poking followed by incoherent sobs.

"You.. bashtard! You.. you... Should'veignored.. me more you.. you.."

She puffed out her cheeks and for a second Teo worried that she would puke on him.

"Youdon'tt... Desherve my.. preshence..."

She huffed while crossing her arms, tears still streaming down her cheeks, staining them in black from her mascara and kajal.

"You.. broke me.."

She sobbed again and slumped against his chest, quietly crying with an occasional punch to his chest or abs.

"How.. how dareyou come.. come back into mylife.."

Teo closed his eyes and sighed, just letting her let out her frustrations.

"I know.. I'm an ass."

She sobbed again and nodded. "Yeshyou..are.."

With a soft sigh he caressed her hair.

".... I'm sorry. I should have handled it better."

"You should.. and.. and.. then.. then.."

She was stumbling over her words but he knew what she wanted to say.

"I should have given you a romantic chance?"

Teo knew all too well she didn't mean it too much. Sure, he was aware that she desired it back then but he also knew that she respected him too much to actually force him into something he didn't want. Even if it meant the world to her.

He kept holding her, comforting her as she stammered drunkenly how much she hated him for just cutting her off. For abandoning her like all those times they had grown closer didn't matter.

It made him feel bad. Regret his immaturity. His need for control over the type of relationship he had. His defense mechanism.

All he could do was listen to her and try to console her.

He felt her shift, now fully sitting on his lap, hands on his shoulders as her lips slowly trailed along his throat up his chin, along his jaw and finally over his cheek to his lips.

"You still smell the same.."

She gently placed her lips on his.

"Even taste the same.."

Her hazy eyes landed on him, tears again welling in her eyes.

"But we're not the same.."

She sobbed softly, burying her face in his shoulder.

"... I know.."

His voice was husky now, a hint of emotion in them. Emotions he didn't want to admit to even now.

"C'mon.. you need to sleep. All that alcohol and those tears will just dehydrate you more.."

He managed to make her cling to one of the silk pillows before leaving briefly to get some water from the kitchen, only to soon hear the frantic patter of footsteps behind him.

Luckily he turned around just in time to catch the woman as she stumbled into him.

"Don't leave!"

He froze. The sheer panic in her voice made his heart almost stop.

"n-not again.. not again.. please.."

He sighed deeply.

"Just getting you some water to drink or you'll have a bigger headache to worry about tomorrow." Teo held out the glass and she carefully took it and drank it. And the following five as well.

When Teo tried to bring her back to the guest room, his former room she refused, tearing up again and babbling out that she would rather sleep next to him.

Though he hesitated he allowed it, leading her to the new master bedroom, his parents' former room. He helped her into bed and laid down next to her.

She immediately snuggled into him and fell asleep with a soft 'I missed this'.

Teo couldn't sleep. Not with her right in his arms, sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware of how much he himself had missed the feeling of her in his arms. It didn't help that their earlier "argument" and brief interaction in the kitchen had exuded a feeling of domesticity. Even the way she was carefully tucked into his side, idly breathing into his chest made his stomach do weird flips.

The same flips they had always done near her. He looked down at her again. Teo's cheeks heated up, the way her cheek squished against his body made her lips so pouty and sweet. He could just lean down and- No. He knew he shouldn't...

Shouldn't?

Shouldn't what; feel?

He started to feel stupid. He cringed.

With a deep exhale through his nose he closed his eyes and tried to sleep. Maybe counting his exes would be a good alternative to counting sheep.

When Teo woke up he felt around to see if she was still there but the sheets beside him were cold. With a groan he sat up and rubbed his eyes looking around only to find a note.

Thanks for letting me crash.. I didn't know if you still wanted to wake up alone.

Panic washed over him.

Did she leave?

He quickly got up and threw on some joggers before he made his way through the manor, checking the guest room to find her jewellery, bag and dress missing as well as her shoes.

His heart sank. For the first time he was disappointed to wake up fully alone.

Ruffling his hair in frustration he made his way downstairs.

She was gone..

Before he could say a proper goodbye.

Before he could tell her about what scared him.

She left the same way he had left her.

A slight clanking came from the kitchen.

Or did she?

~~~~~~~~~

Will this have a pt 2?

Cannot promise anything cuz I wrote this on a small thought I had when I was about to hit my head on my pillow

Teo is probably ooc as per usual when I write him (i think I make him too soft????) but like who cares 💅 (me I care)

"You.. remembered?"

It had been a day like any other. Ren had made breakfast for Angel and himself, humming to himself. The rhythm of domiciliary that Angel and him had grown accustomed to was akin to that of their hearts, seemingly beating in unison.

They couldn’t be happier, slender fingers delicately handling the kitchenware.

Angel was his

Just the thought made the man’s insides tingle and pleasantly twist, the excitement quickly spreading onto his lips, stretching them into a soft grin. For the first time since meeting the love of his life he felt happy. Loved.

He was plating the food and setting the table, ready for the day and for them. He carefully made his way to the bedroom, intending to wake Angel when he already saw them sat up, staring at their knees.

Their body was still halfway covered by the soft blanket, a shirt of his loosely hanging off their frame.

“REDACTED”

The name fell from their lips faster than Ren could greet them.

And with that one word his world seemed to shatter.

A part.. A fraction.. Of him was delighted, stomach churning in pleasant surprise.. but it was short lived. The twists and tightening quickly turned into dread.

Why now!?

Why that god forsaken name!?

…. Why couldn’t the illusion stay?

Ren contemplated restarting the day, to relive the idyll and prevent Angel from uttering that abomination of a-

“REDACTED”

The name flowed so innocently from Angel’s lips. So beautifully, so… Untainted.

They peered up at him, a soft smile on their face.

“It’s your name, right? Your actual name. REDACTED.”

Ren’s heart stuttered. The sight of them, so sweetly saying their name.. without any stigma. Any hatred. Any… Disgust.

“You… remember..?”

“I do.”

It had taken Angel to embrace him to stop the tears. To stop the shaking.

They hadn’t anticipated this reaction from Ren but nonetheless they wanted to comfort. To heal.

It had taken a lot to get Ren to open up.

Why are you so uncomfortable?

Should I not call you that..? But.. why?

Can I make it better?

Angel listened patiently as Ren spoke. Not much, just the gist of his hatred.

“My father.”

They nodded, recalling the shared childhood the aftermath of abuse they had witnessed. While oblivious to the signs in their youth, Angel was now wiser and aware of just how broken Ren had been… And still was.

“You know..”

They cupped his cheeks gently, making him look at them. Clear crystal blue peered at Angel.

"im!mFun oelec?tCro phMre§$tica%lly ventrGicu§"lo cis="!tLrnost Po&%mies"

Their thumb gently caressed Ren’s cheek in soothing, light circles. Their voice had been barely above a whisper. Just for him to hear. Just for him to feel.

“And I will show you.. Just how beautiful you are.”
