Zhou Mi tries to deal with Hangeng's upcoming lawsuit. Victoria is there for him.
--
Victoria finds him in an abandoned dance studio, his eyes red and his hands trembling. He's folded himself into a corner, gangly limbs jutting out akimbo like a jagged puzzle piece that doesn't know how to fit in with the rest.
She doesn't say a word, just slides down against the wall beside him and kisses away the tear tracks.
Zhou Mi takes a deep, shuddering breath he doesn't realise he's been holding.
"He wants to leave, Ah Qian" his voice is hoarse from disuse, raw with emotion.
Victoria threads her fingers into his hair, her face buried into his neck.
"I know" she breathes, her warmth sending shivers down his spine.
"I don't want him to go. I don't want my Geng-ge to go"
"I know"
Zhou Mi presses his lips together in a thin line.
"It's not fair!" he bursts out, his eyes flashing angrily. "He can't just leave us like this! What's going to happen to SJM? What's going to happen to me?"
Victoria is unfazed. Zhou Mi wraps his arms around himself, glaring darkly at nothing in particular. He can feel the betrayal simmering in his blood, the disbelief ringing in his ears, the hurt thrumming in his heart. It hadn't gone away, no matter how hard Hangeng had tried to explain himself (I'm so tired, Mi. So, so tired).
Victoria simply rests her chin on his shoulder. Her voice is quiet and soothing.
"You can't blame him, MiMi. Ge has been through so much lately. Just...let him rest for a while, okay lah? This whole thing will blow over soon enough. You'll see" her Guangzhou accent seeps into his skin and envelopes him in a comfort that can only be explained through the way she laces her fingers through his.
"I want to believe that" he trembles in her arms, and it takes all his strength not to fall apart at the seams in front of her.
Victoria sighs softly, before pushing herself onto his lap. She takes his face into her hands and presses butterfly kisses against his jaw, cheeks, nose, anything she can lay her lips on. She brushes away his tears and tries to hold back her own.
"Then believe it" she whispers harshly, her dark eyes pleading. "Don't give up on Hangeng-ge. Don't give up on SJM. Don't give up on yourself. Because I won't"
Zhou Mi kisses her, because she’s there, she’s real and she’s never going to leave. Victoria is his warmth, his strength, his soul. She holds him up when he doesn’t have the strength to do it himself, and knows him better than anyone else ever will.
And that’s enough for him to trust her.
“Okay” he murmurs against her lips. “Just - okay”
