ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 80. The confession
Leon took another step, Noa stared at him. The steam drifted between them, softening the fluorescent lights overhead. The shower room felt strangely distant from the rest of the world. Noa still didn't move. Water rolled down his hair and shoulders as he watched Leon approach. "What are you doing?" Noa asked quietly. Leon managed a weak smile."I don't know." Then, in another step the space between them disappeared. Noa could hear Leon's uneven breathing over the steady rush of the shower."You've been avoiding me all day." "Are you sure about that?" “I know that you're, babe” “Do I have a reason to? Leon lowered his gaze. "I..I…” His words got stuck in his throat. Silence settled between them.Then, almost without thinking, Leon reached out. His fingertips lightly brushed a droplet of water from Noa's temple before trailing down to his cheek.The touch was so gentle it almost wasn't there. Noa's breath caught. "Leon..." "I've missed t
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 79. Steaming
He wondered if he already knew but couldn't arrive at a decision. He couldn't look at him as he tried to speak. "Noa...I" His voice cracked. The word reached the tip of his tongue but didn't come out. His eyes became moist. He could almost remember his promise to Leon of their meeting on the weekend before his brother’s injury. He wanted nothing more than to pull Noa into his arms and tell him everything. That he'd let anger blind him. That every act of kindness toward Noa hadn't been accidental.But another way of making up for his mess. The guilt, the regret, and the fear that Noa would hate him for cutting him off unfairly remained. What if Noa believed he wasn't still sincere with him? What if knowing the truth only reopened wounds that had barely healed? Leon's courage to open up vanished. His hopeful expression slowly crumbled. He looked away and said, "I never met anyone by that name." Those words felt like a knife through his own heart. "I don't know
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 78. Mine before and now
Two days later, Leon jerked awake with a gasp. His heart pounded so hard that for a few seconds he couldn't tell whether he was still dreaming or already awake. "Diamond..." The name slipped from his lips before he could stop it. He sat up slowly, rubbing his face. The dream had been so vivid. The young Diamond had been standing beneath the old oak tree close to flowers. He was smiling at him as if they knew each other well. "You promised we'd meet again." I told him. Then, somehow, Diamond's voice had changed. It became Leon's voice as he promised. Then Leon appeared in the young Diamond’s place before he jerked awake. Noa frowned deeply. He threw the blanket aside and stood. "No... Why would I dream of Diamond sounding like Leon?" His mind replayed every conversation he'd had with Leon over the past few weeks. "You're not alone. I'll wait. You don't have to carry everything yourself." Every sentence echoed almost word for word with things Diam
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 77. Calming his fears
A faint smile crossed his lips. "Yeah, well, my Dad never got the chance to pay the debts." The smile disappeared. "The debt didn't die with him. It came to me." Leon sat beside him in silence.Noa continued. "My mother was already gone. My sister, was raped and since then she had never been the same." His voice caught. He needed treatment, so there was only me." "So, I quit thinking about what I wanted. I stopped asking for help. I worked." He smiled bitterly. "Thank goodness for the scholarship. Morning...school and hockey. Evening…work, then home.The next day...I did it all again." Leon could barely breathe. "Why didn't you tell me?" Noa laughed quietly. "What would I have said? Hi, Leon.I like you. By the way, dangerous people are threatening my family because of a debt that isn't even mine.” He shook his head. "I didn't want you involved. I didn't want anyone involved. My sister already is.” His voice cracked. Leon grabbed his hand. "Y
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 76. Truth he never told
he bruises inflicted on Noa last night refused to leave Leon's mind.Even during lectures, he couldn't concentrate. The professor's voice faded into meaningless background noise while the image of Noa's battered face replayed over and over in his head. Who did this? Why won't he tell me? He gripped his pen so tightly his knuckles turned white. Noa smiled, and laughed. He had insisted he was fine. However, Leon now knew that smile hid more than exhaustion.It also hid pain. When the bell finally rang, Leon packed his books without even realizing it. Jenny bumped his shoulder."Earth to Leon." "Hm? You've been staring at the same page for twenty minutes." "Oh..." He forced a smile. Sorry, I wasn't concentrating." "Hmm, you've been worrying about Noa all day, haven't you?" Leon didn't deny it. "I just have this feeling that something isn't right."His voice grew quiet. Practice ended earlier than usual.Coach Finn dismissed everyone with a reminder abo
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 75. Stay still
Leon glared at him. "Serves you right." Noa chuckled weakly. "There you are." "What?" "You smiled." Leon didn't smile back again. His expression remained serious as he cleaned the wound with incredible care. Noa watched him silently. His boyfriend's hands were gentle, almost reverent. It was as though afraid of causing him even the slightest pain. When Leon reached for Noa's sleeve to check another bruise peeking beneath it, Noa instinctively pulled his arm back. "Don't." Leon stopped. "Why?" "I'm okay." "Noa." "It's just a scratch." Leon didn't stop. He slowly rolled up the sleeve anyway. Then, he froze. Dark purple bruises covered Noa's forearm. Some fresh. Some are already turning yellow. There were finger-shaped marks near his wrist. A long scrape ran from his elbow almost to his hand. Leon's breathing caught."Noa…" His voice was barely audible."This..." He looked up, his eyes glistening. "This isn't from bumping into someone." No
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 5. Interrupted
The sudden burst of loud voices outside the stall instantly snapped both of them back to reality. The restroom door slammed closed. Students who walked in moved around noisily, laughing and talking over each other. Leon’s eyes flew open fully. At the same time, Noa jerked back slightly. His h
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 3. Make it romantic
The moment Professor Hale dismissed the class, the lecture hall erupted with noise. Chairs scraped against the floor. Students hurried to pack their bags and rushed out to the cafeteria. Leon had barely zipped up his bag when Sebastian hooked an arm around his immediately. “You must be starvi
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 2. You hate me?
Noa tilted his head slightly, eyes dragging over Leon’s tense expression. “Are you sure about that?" Leon couldn't reply because he knew he was right. His heart had been thudding since he saw him in the shower. He had been trying to control his body from acting up. Water rolled down Leon’s ne
ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME Chapter 1. Unexpected encounter
The locker room was buzzing with noise as players stormed in straight from practice. Their hockey sticks clatter against benches while other gadgets hit the floor carelessly. Steam was already curling out from the shower areas as curses and laughter echoed off the tiled walls. “Coach Finn talks
