44. Married

"Please believe me." Claude touched Kane's hands, his head lowered. For some reason, he felt his chest hurt when Kane started to hate him.

He couldn't be a hypocrite if he loved Kane.

His heart said that Kane was the best even though he was a bit of a psychopath. Claude sometimes thought, maybe it should be like this?

Kane also took Claude into his arms, Kane felt guilty.

"I'm sorry, Kane. I know I was wrong, I know I should have never approached Xavier, you told me not to but instead I pushed you as if you were wrong and my choice was right, sorry."

Claude tried to explain various words. Kane hasn't said that he has forgiven Claude, which makes Claude think, does Kane hate him?

****

Claude fell asleep in Kane's embrace, tears making him drowsy.

Gently, Kane stroked Claude's hair, Kane's eyes drooped as he stared at his face. Kane noticed Claude's furrowed brows, sleeping restlessly in distress.
