"I'll be back soon,"

"Stay safe, okay? I'll be waiting for you," after that, he shut the door close. Walking slowly towards the window, I watch his figure gradually drop out of sight

Looks like I'm alone once again.

Is he trying to avoid me now?

Maybe I should prove him, that I'm good enough for him.

"I really should,"

"Ludwig,"

"Ja?"

"Look at what I did," I motioned for him to go to the kitchen.

"What is it?" he asked as he entered the room.

"Here you go!" I handed him a cookie. He gladly accepted my offer, eating it as I curiously waited for his reaction.

"So, what do you think?" I asked, grabbing the tray as I raised my eyebrow.

"I must say, it's very delicious," the German said before he walked towards the tray to get another one.

"I made them just for you. I'm really happy to know that you like it," I felt my cheeks gradually getting warmer. Glancing at Ludwig, I can see him blushing as well. Maybe this isn't a really great idea at all.

There was only silence for a few more seconds before he finally spoke up

"I almost forgot, I have to attend the world meeting today. Es tut mir leid," he stated, a bit hesitant to leave so soon. I let him leave as I nodded slowly.

"Danke schön," he thanked me before he walked away.

Why does he keep on leaving me like this?

On the next day, I saw him walking on the way to my place. I hope he doesn't leave like what he just did yesterday.

"(Name)?" I then heard a familiar voice calling my name. He's already here! Hastily opening the door, I saw Ludwig with a small box in his hands.

"Huh? What's this for?" Staring at the item he brought with him, I asked him why he's holding a box.

"It's for you, take it," he then gave the box to me, bashfully looking at the ground

"Really? Thank you," I happily received his present. Looking at him for a bit, I noticed that he's planning on leaving again.

Now is the time for me to take action.

"Wait! Don't leave me!"

I immediately held his arm.

After that, we looked at each other for a while. His eyes widened noticeably at the sudden contact. I looked up at him, it seems that he still doesn't know why I called him. Maybe I should give up already.

But, that means that we won't talk to each other as often as we used to.

That means that we won't spend time with each other as often as we used to.

That means that we won't be with each other as often as we used to.

I don't want that to happen.

"Why do you keep on leaving me? Why? I don't understand, did I do something horrible to you? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Tears. Tears are slowly blurring my vision as I tightly squeezed his arm. Biting my lips, I repeatedly apologized to him in a desperate attempt to make him stay longer.

"I just wanted to spend more time with you. I tried to catch your attention, but I think I just made the situation worse. I'm sorry,"

I feel so stupid.

"Please don't leave me!"

"Please stay!

"Please stop avoiding me!"

I feel so dumb.

Struggling to breathe normally, I tried to catch my breath for a short while.

What if he hates me now?

I don't know what to do without him.

Many thoughts occupied my mind as I pleaded for him to stay. I kept on weakly tugging his clothes, but I almost lost my balance when I felt someone hug me tightly. I'm confused. Why would he hug me?

"Ich liebe dich,"

Once I heard him mutter those words, I felt his lips on mine. When realization struck me, I immediately kissed back. The kiss was so short, yet so meaningful at the same time.

"I'm sorry if I didn't spend enough time with you. I'm sorry if you felt unloved. I'm sorry for making you go though all of these. Please, let me make it up to you. Please, let me show you how much I love you,"

He rested his head on top of mine, whispering sweet nothings to calm me down.

Few minutes have passed, and what's left is me and him, quietly embracing each other.

I really enjoy this tranquil silence and being enveloped in his loving arms. I'll gladly let him show me how much he cares. I won't ever forget what he said.

Looking up at him, my heart fluttered when he looked back at me with a gentle and warm smile. Beaming brightly, I cheerfully kissed his cheeks.

This time I didn't go.

This time I stayed.

This time I didn't let him leave.

This time I can be with him.

Thank you for staying.
