Chapter 39 - Chapter 39 : Be mine , only yours

[POV: Aarav]

I didn't move.

Not right away.

I needed to be sure I wasn't dreaming again.

> "I'm sure."

That's what she had said.

Not teasing.

Not pretending.

Real.

So I leaned in — slowly.

My hand moved up to gently tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

She didn't flinch.

She didn't joke.

She just… waited.

So I whispered one last time.

Aarav (soft):

"This is your last chance to push me away."

She looked into my eyes.

Bunny:

"If you don't kiss me right now, I might actually scream."

I smiled.

> "As you wish, "

And I kissed her.

Not rushed.

Not staged.

Just… everything I'd been holding in.

[POV: Bunny]

His lips were soft.

Warm.

Certain.

It didn't feel like a first kiss.

It felt like the kiss we were always meant to have —

The one we spent years dancing around.

His hand was on my cheek, holding me steady,

Like I might disappear if he let go.

I didn't want to pull back.

Not yet.

And when we finally did…

We just stayed there.

Forehead to forehead.

Breath tangled.

Bunny (whispering):

"I should be scared… but I'm not."

Aarav:

"I've always been yours. I was just waiting for you to notice."

[Later That Day — Bunny POV]

Everything felt lighter.

Even the silence between us wasn't awkward.

We didn't label anything.

Didn't define it.

But the way his fingers brushed mine as we walked past each other —

The way I caught him staring and not looking away —

The way I kept finding reasons to be in the same room…

We both knew what it meant.
