The Only Delicacy

"Mmph!.. Mmph!.." Scarlet whimpered and groaned in pain.

On the rooftop, Scarlet did everything she could to escape his powerful and brutal grasp, but it was of no use.

The heavy, tenacious, menacing, and beastly rage emanating from within him was being brutally and forcibly pushed into her whole delicate being, thus affecting her to the point that she could only shiver and whimper in his cruel embrace.

As she shivered and whimpered while trying her best to find the opportunity to even breathe, Scarlet's lips and whole mouth were being brutally eaten up by Kyle to the extent that her delicate lips, the insides of her mouth, and her chin were entirely painted with blood.

The tears hanging on her eyes were like daggers threatening to fall down her face, because the pain that she had endured for merely 10 minutes was deadly enough to the point where it was not an exaggeration to say that it was like falling to the darkest abyss of hell.

Scarlet did not know the reason for Kyle's extremely destructive and tenacious fury or the reason why it had to be her playing as his victim, his prey, or his sacrifice out of all the people within the school.

Even though she had done her best to retaliate and breathe while trying to get answers by looking at the clouds or avoiding his predator eyes by closing her own, Scarlet's desperate measures were all useless.

It was pointless.

There was no hope left for her to continue on and endure, despite how much hardships and pain she had been bearing for her whole life. Compared to what she had experienced in the past, in front of him…

It was all nothing.

Just as she was about to black out from the extreme pain and exhaustion accumulating from her small body that was already weak from all the hardships she had suffered until now, Scarlet suddenly felt an unusual and distinct feeling emanating within Kyle.

That feeling was neither vicious nor cruel. It never forcibly pushed itself into her soul and merely stayed deeply hidden and locked inside his own.

However, her heart's familiarity with that distinct feeling was what caused her body to instinctively swallow it up whole into the deepest parts of her soul.

Yes, that distinct feeling was none other than pain.

It was the pain that she had endured for her entire life; the pain that had scarred her heart from the very beginning.

The pain of being unloved, unaccepted, and abandoned by the significant other.

When she had felt that pain, all the physical pain and rage that Kyle had inflicted upon her were immediately vanished into thin air, forgotten to no more than a memory.

Scarlet's heart subconsciously reached out to him as her adrenaline rushed through all parts of her veins.

Right now, it was the same.

If she had needed someone by her side back then, Kyle needed her now.

Instead of blacking out, Scarlet's body suddenly stopped retaliating, shivering and whimpering and started responding to his harsh embrace, but with a more gentle and loving touch.

No matter how great the pain Kyle had inflicted upon her, Scarlet's heart was as strong as the dignified mountains enduring the force of the raging seas, handling the storm with utter grace and conviction.

Through the help of her heart, Scarlet accepted all the blood in her mouth and all the pain in her elbows, her back, her hands and her womanhood, like it was never there to begin with.

As she strengthened her resolution, the hands that were being shoved to the wall suddenly brimmed with strength and she directly used that strength to escape from his harsh hold.

However, instead of using that golden opportunity to escape from his embrace, Scarlet immediately used those bruised hands to fully wrap her bleeding arms around his neck and crush her own body more against his, despite hating the feeling of the cold and hard wall scraping the skin off her back or the upright manhood between her legs trying to forcibly thrust itself inside her.

As she tenderly hugged him, Scarlet also responded to his brutal kisses with a passionate and tender kiss, as if she had fully accepted him for what he was and had disregarded the ugly side that he had subconsciously revealed even though he had locked it and hidden it deep within his being.

Scarlet never cared for the dirty side that he had revealed or the possibility that she may be contaminated by it. Because, she believed that humans were not perfect. Or the world they lived in.

Even herself.

Everyone had something to hide from everyone else. But instead of him hiding it from her, Kyle directly and bluntly revealed his heart's innermost feelings to her, who was a mere stranger and classmate.

As she tenderly responded to his cruel hold, Scarlet thought, "Perhaps my debt could be fully paid through this."

When she thought of that, more adrenaline rushed through her veins and her strength suddenly soared and became on par with his, except with a gentle touch.

When he had felt her successfully breaking free from his hold, Kyle thought she would use that opportunity to run away, but instead, he became dumbfounded.

Instead of her running away because of how cruel he was with his embrace and kisses, his beloved had embraced and kissed him back.

Moreover, her embrace and kisses were so loving and gentle that he had no choice but to instinctively respond in the same manner as well.

Loving her delicate body in his possession, Kyle used one of his hands that was roughly fondling her abdomen to gently embrace her whole stomach towards him, thereby letting her separate from the cold hard wall behind her.

At the same time, he used his other free hand that was past holding her hands to grope her soft lower mounds and carry her whole body upwards in order for his lips and tongue to dive deeper into hers and his manhood to feel more of the softness of her womanhood.

Due to how soft and delicious she felt in his arms, Kyle was not able to suppress his burning raw passion, thereby making him still brutally respond to her gentle touch.

He twisted and turned his tongue around her bloody and wounded one with more force and swallowed almost all of her sticky saliva and blood.

While he did that, Kyle used both of the hands embracing her to roughly grope her large buttocks and her delicate back more against him, unknowingly crushing her body and slightly violating her womanhood more than she could ever handle.

"Hnnn…"Scarlet moaned with both pleasure and great pain.

Because of Kyle's gentle yet cruel response to her embrace, Scarlet's closed eyes with tears that were threatening to fall had really fallen like a waterfall down from her face towards their bloody lips, their chin, and then their collars.

She was way past her body's limits, but the heart that reached out towards him had no limits.

Indeed, Scarlet's heart was the most delicate part of her body. But, when the time was needed, her delicate heart was even stronger than the strongest lions alive in history.

When he had tasted something salty from his lips, Kyle's eyes slightly opened.

But, at the next moment, his eyes fully widened. He saw his beloved's pale and red face flooding with tears while her eyes were closed, thereby immediately making him stunned from making his next brutal move.

Once he saw the exhaustion, the pain, and the blood from her tear-filled face, the burning raw passion ignited within him was now fully extinguished.

At that exact moment, Kyle was brought back to his senses.

His beloved was able to break free from his hold, but she did not use that opportunity to escape.

She shivered, whimpered and became afraid because of his cruel actions that had bruised most parts of her body, but she did not retaliate. Instead, she tenderly kissed and embraced him back, as if she was showing that she had accepted the ugliest parts he had revealed within him.

At that realization, Kyle fully separated his lips from her bruised and bloody ones and then affectionately and painfully looked at his beloved hurting and crying within his arms.

"You love her… So, why are you hurting her?" A small but stern voice resounded within his heart.

That tiny voice was comparable to one water drop amidst the great sea, but it was powerful enough to crush his soul and smash his heart into nothing but pieces.

When she felt him slowly separating his lips from hers, Scarlet also slowly opened her blurry eyes, but what she saw next made her widened them and become immediately stunned.

Scarlet saw the affectionate, loving, and pained stare of the man before her.

She felt him trembling as he held her, like he was treating her as a delicate and brittle glass.

However, she did not feel like she was that glass, because how he stared at her made her feel like it was not her, but him who was a glass that was broken into pieces.

From her perspective, the man who had unleashed the beast within was now but a small and wounded bunny slightly trembling within her arms.

She even saw slight tears threatening to fall from his eyes, but he never gave in to the pain.

As his beloved was staring at him, Kyle slowly and tenderly brought the hand that had been roughly fondling her abdomen up towards her face.

He affectionately caressed her cheeks while gently wiping away her tears and the blood around her face.

"Hiccup.." Since her mouth was freed from his, her body's tensed state became relaxed, thereby making her instinctively release the pressure and the hurt that she had been bearing up until now.

Instead of relieving her pain, Kyle saw more tears flowing from his beloved's face and more whimpers and hiccups coming out from her mouth, thus brutally slashing his heart and breaking his soul until it became nothing, not even ashes.

"I'm sorry..." Kyle gently whispered into her ears with the softest voice that slightly vibrated as he softly trembled while holding her.

When she had heard that, Scarlet saw his pained expression, as if he had just committed the most horrible treason or betrayed the most important vow to himself.

However, instead of comforting him or telling him that his apology was not necessary, her body's mind got the best of her.

More tears constantly flowed down her face, while her mouth uttered non-stop hiccups and whimpers as she stared deep into his eyes, as if those mere two words were the most powerful words she had ever heard.

'Why am I crying? Didn't he say sorry? I'm supposed to accept his apology. But, why can't these tears stop? What's wrong with me?' Her rational mind overflowed with questions that was left unanswered, while more tears flowed down her face and more whimpers and hiccups came from her mouth.

At this day and age, Scarlet had many things that she did not know.

However, what she did know was what Mathilda had taught her.

Her mind had been unconsciously bottling up all of the hurt and the fear until now that her tears could not stop anymore. Even if she wanted to.

When he saw her pained expression and more tears flowing down her eyes, Kyle immediately used his hand that was caressing her face to cup her slightly bloody chin.

As soon as he touched her chin, he tenderly claimed her bruised lips with his own and closed his eyes, while using all of his efforts to comfort her back into calming down and mend her broken state into a whole.

"Mnn.. *hiccup*" Scarlet moaned from the soft contact of their lips and the pleasure emanating within her body, despite still whimpering and hiccupping in a successive manner.

Loving the feeling of her moist lips against his and the feeling of his beloved also reciprocating both of his feelings and his embrace, Kyle affectionately and passionately kissed her until he gradually lost his sense of rationality and forgot how to stop kissing her.

As Kyle lovingly kissed her, Scarlet, too, gradually lost her sense of rationality and forgot the number of questions floating within her mind.

She did not bother with reasons or between what was right and wrong, for her exhausted state could not handle anymore of it. Her once chaotic state of mind became as peaceful as a tranquil lake.

As she relaxed against his tender hold, her body and heart instinctively accepted and reciprocated his passionate kiss that felt like it could last for a lifetime.

While she kissed him back, Scarlet thought back to what Mathilda had said about bottling up her feelings.

Indeed, bottling up one's feelings would make one hurt.

But, if bottling up her feelings would help those who had also bottled up too much, then it was all worth it.

As she thought of that, the similar pain that the both of them had felt was now long gone, leaving only the remaining scars that could never be healed within Scarlet's heart.

As these two teenagers kissed for a long time, they became one in their own little world, as if they had been living in a dream.

While they were in their dream-like state, the two people with barely any time in their hands had now forgotten their present hardships and responsibilities. Most of all, they had not realized that the bell had already rang quite some time ago to signify the end of break.
