Chương 53: Thank You (Unedited)
Yeah, another chapter full of cringe of Nex and Jane.
----------------
"Hey, Nex?" Jane suddenly said while giving Nex a slice of a fruit that seemed like a large multi-colored pear.
"Yes, what is it?" Nex answered as he relished on the delicious fruit that not only filled his mouth with a wonderful taste but also spread warm energy that relaxed his body and filled it with a comfortable sensation.
After a short time of hugging, Jane suddenly realized that Nex is still wounded. So while ignoring the latter reluctance, she quickly made him sit while laying back on the bed and brought out a magic fruit that increases the healing rate of the consumer she received from the healers and began to slice and feed it to Nex. she wanted him to look as healthy as possible before she let him meet the others.
"I know that it may be too early to speak about it, but may I know what you were dreaming about earlier? I never saw you such sorrowful emotions from you."
"It's fine," Nex swallowed and smiled gently, "I was going to tell you about my past anyway. I don't want to hide things from you."
"Thank you," Jane's eyes shone in happiness and gratitude and she gave Nex a soft, affectionate smile. She knew that Nex didn't like to talk about those things.
"Your welcome," Nex smiled and then his expression became a little sad and he began to speak.
"I was dreaming about my mother."
"Your mother?" Jane's expression changed and she stopped to cut the fruit and held Nex hand. If a dream about his mother is making someone like him cry then it must not be a good story, she knew it from personal experience, "You don't have to tell me that, we can talk about other things."
"No, it's fine," Nex said with a soft expression and squeezed her hand as if doing it will give him power.
"I should start by saying that she is not my biological mother, My biological parents died when I was a baby, but we were close like a real parent and child."
Seeing Nex's empty gaze and hearing his words, Jane was instantly filled with guilt, but before she managed to open her mouth, Nex started to speak again.
"We met a short time after I got to that place and after learning about my situation, she instantly became fond of me and after a few more meetings she already started to treat me like I was her own child. She always worried about me and helped me whenever she could, but because of a certain position she had, she couldn't help me more than healing my injuries and give me a few opportunities to take a breather. She was gentle and kind and I wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for her."
"She sounds like a wonderful person," Jane said softly.
"She was the best," Nex smiled bitterly, "Me, on the other hand, was too much of a fool to receive the love and care she gave me and treat it appropriately, I would ignore her and act like a jerk. Even when I accepted her love and started to consider her as my mother I still didn't let her know and instead treated her coldly like I did before for a very long time."
Jane didn't say anything and just held Nex's hand tightly to signal him she is with him.
"And at the end, the fool I was back then realized his mistakes," Nex face became happy as he started to remember very happy memories, "I finally went to meet her and called her mother and say that I love her," he then let out a small laugh, "But she didn't seem surprised at all, she just gave me a hug and a kiss like she usually did before she laughed at my expression. I still remember what she said back then, 'You do know that you always express those words in any way other than saying them right?'. Apparently, I was a bigger fool than I thought."
Upon seeing Nex talking about how happy is life was after that event and acting like a kid that tells how awesome his parents are, Jane wanted to smile sweetly as well, but instead what came was a great fear about how the story ended.
"One day, I had an idea to go on a picnic in a beautiful valley that I found that was filled with gorgeous flowers and mythical animals," Nex face started to change from happiness to bitterness and self-loathing, "I knew that mother and I had a lot of enemies that just to wait to an opportunity to harm us, but I was strong, strong and capable enough to not worry about that kind of troubles. And more importantly, I was happy for quite some time back then and that clouded my judgment so before I know it we were having a picnic and just enjoying without any care."
"And then, that happened."
Nex's face darkened and he clenched his hands, "Out of nowhere we were attacked by an enemy I didn't see before, he was strong, cruel, and most of all, prepared to deal with us. I was able to deal with him if I was on my own, but it seems that he already knew it would be like that, he managed to distract me for a moment and at that moment he poisoned my mother."
Jane started to tear upon seeing his face and how his breaths become slightly rushed and uneven, something that didn't happen even when he fought the Saint, she wanted to tell him doesn't need to continue, but he stopped her and gave her a smile.
"I am fine, it's just that it was a long time since the last time I told this."
After he said that he took a deep breath that seemed to restore his mood, but when he resumed the story Jane could clearly hear the slight quiver in his voice.
"It seems that the time I spend being happy came back and bit me. When I saw the state that my mother was in I didn't act like I normally would and defeat the enemy first and get the antidote and instead rushed straight to check up on her and it was exactly what the enemy expected for. He unleashed a powerful attack that would have killed both of us if it wasn't for my mother. She unleashed a spell that cost all of her life force to put a barrier around me and saved me, while she got the full brunt of the attack on the other hand which took her life immediately."
Jane couldn't hold it anymore and hugged Nex close to her while crying, she knew what he was going through all too well. And she hated herself for being such an idiot and making actually come back to that place.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry so much."
"It's fine, I just want to stay like that for a bit," Nex didn't cry, his voice didn't even break. On the other hand, he was feeling relief telling this story now that he got his emotions back. Jane was like a gift he didn't feel he was worthy to receive. She didn't let him suffer on his own and instead forced out of him the things he was sealing deep inside purely because she loved him and wanted his best.
Although Nex had many friends and close ones over the years, there are only three other people that managed to completely break past the barricades he was putting on himself and reach the real him. One of them was his mother, the other one was someone who was also dead and the last one… the last one was someone he had to go to separate ways with.
"Don't worry, I'm actually happy that I got to share it with you," after letting Jane cry for a minute to relieve her emotions, Nex soothed her down and smiled at her.
"It was a very long time ago and as you said, I need to leave my bad emotions behind me and focus on what that is now."
"And what I have now…" Nex smirked playfully and kissed Jane's cute nose, causing her to suddenly awake from her sobs and blush, "Is a lovely woman who made me realize something I needed to realize for a long time."
"You bastard!" Jane seemed to curse him, yet she couldn't hide the laugh that was on her face, "You dare to tease me like that when I'm crying. You really are a no-good."
Nex stared at her beautiful face before smiling softly and stroking it carefully like he couldn't believe how such a beautiful thing could exist, causing her to blush further yet not resist.
"Jane, thank you."
"Hmm?" although Jane knew what he meant, she still asked while smiling in confusion, "Where does this come from?"
"For not rejecting me," Nex smiled in a self-ridiculing manner, "Any normal person with abilities like yours would get away from me and treat me like a disgusting creature that shouldn't be allowed to receive attention. Even if I was in your place I don't think I would be able to be so close to someone like me. I know that I brought and probably will bring you pain because of the mess that I am and I am sorry for that."
"Nex," Jane stared at Nex with a serious expression, "You are not disgusting, other people are just fools who know nothing. In my eyes, you are not a mess of rampaging madness, you are the strongest and most beautiful person I know. Other people would lose it if they experience a tenth of what you going through at any moment. Yet you take control of it and live with it like nothing is bothering you and even make from it emotions so deep and pure that I could stare at them forever."
"That is the reason I fell in love with you," she blushed at those words but didn't stop, "Not because you're handsome or physically powerful, but because you are able to hold everything on your even when you are torn to shreds on the inside. You should never be ashamed of yourself but be proud, you are doing the impossible and beyond. If anything I should be the one that should thank you for letting me into your world."
"Jane…"
"Wu…"
Nex couldn't hold back anymore and once again attacked her soft lips. It was like this woman knew exactly what to say to him. And to the current him who had his emotions unsealed, she was an irresistible angel he should and want to cherish with all of his heart and being.
As a result of her OverSoul, already since a young age, she awakened the superpower of an empath which grants her the ability to sense the emotions and mental state of a person. And because of his experiences in the past, the mental scars he received, and his unsealed emotions, his mind was constantly in a chaotic mess of berserk emotions and pain, so for a normal empath, to sense his emotions is the same as staring straight at countless projectors that constantly flash in different colors.
Yet Jane didn't reject him when she met him and instead found the good in all of the mess and wanted to help him to stand up. Normally, the few people who could do that need a lot of time in order to just see behind all of the barriers that were around him, but Jane could already do it from the moment he met her.
Once again releasing Jane after a few minutes, it seems that this time she was more in control because only after a few moments of organizing her breath she immediately grabbed Nex's ear and twisted it with force making him bow his head.
"Ouch! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"So suddenly pain does work on you huh?" Jane seemed to return to how she acted before as she growled and twisted the other ear as well, "How shameless are you? Kissing a person who just confessed to you like that!? And twice at that!"
"I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" Nex quickly cried in pain. because she can't control her OverSoul yet, Jane can cause someone pain if she touches them when she feels strong emotions, and it is a pain to the soul at that. And because his soul strength isn't much higher than her right now and the fact his soul is sensitive to this kind of pain, his reaction to this kind of pain is even more than a normal person.
"Oh? So you are saying you won't kiss me again?" Jane seemed to understand this and smirk. Finally, she could get back at his teasing and harassment.
"No! I will! I will give you a kiss whenever you want! Just please woman! Ears aren't meant to be in this shape!"
"Hmph! Don't think I am easy to ignore and tease!" Jane snorted and smiled let go of his ears, it seemed that she restored her mood to how she is always as she giggled upon seeing Nex rubbing his ears with a wronged gaze and waved her fair fist around, "Now that I know how to get you back I dare you to try and upset me!"
"Yes, yes. I won't upset you again," Nex nodded in surrender and didn't argue, although he did mutter something under his breath.
"It was just that the way you acted earlier was so cute…"
"Ohh? So you saying how I usually act is not cute?" Jane asked while smiling with her eyes closed, for some reason giving off a chilling feeling.
"No! No!" Nex quick backed off and covered his ears in fear and cursing his moronic mouth, "It's just that how you were earlier felt like I met the real you and it was like I interact directly with your soul, and together with the words that you said..." Nex lifted his gaze and stared directly at her eyes, "I felt like was falling for you more and more."
"Wha…" Jane became shocked and her face turned crimson, she bit her lip with a complicated gaze and came closer to Nex who was vigilant for the next attack and gave him a small peck on the nose.
"If you want to meet that Jane again," she gave him a small smile while gently holding his hands and removed them from his ears, she then got closer whispered softly in his ear in the "gentle Jane" tone he was weak against, "Then you need to convince this one first. And this one is saying you teased her again."
"Huh?" Nex was confused at her last sentence, but before he managed to react, two rows of white teeth came rapidly toward his face.
"Ahh! Not the nose!"
