The Love that Never Really Dies

She’s right, why am I overreacting? ”Because it looks nasty.”

“It doesn’t. Hold on. I’ll put some sugar in this.” Delighted, Sasha trotted to the kitchen to get some sugar and poured it into the bowl in front of him.

Sebastian was rendered speechless by her action.

“All right, now it’ll taste a whole lot better with sugar added in it. Finish it in one go and you won’t feel a thing.” She was trying to get him to finish the medicine.

Sebastian stared at her darkly. It was just like the time he took her with him right after she came back from Clear. He was paranoid, thinking she might try to poison him every chance she got.

“You’re dead if this still tastes awful.” He said the same thing he did back then.

Sasha smiled gently. “It won’t. Trust me.”

For your sake, I hope so. Finally, Sebastian started drinking the medicine, but he spat it out immediately. “D*mmit! You lied to me again!”

The medicine still tasted as awful as ever. The bitterness overpowered the sugar.

Despite getting yelled at, Sasha was shocked that he said the word ‘again’. Indeed, this was the second time, but the first time she made the medicine was back when his memories were intact.
