For the Love of Her
By: Angelus Erreare
A/N: This is my second fic and is a tad bit lengthier than the first (Revelation). This will be a SERPH x ARGILLA x HEAT.
WARNING: The story will be completely AU (somewhat loosely based on the real Serph, Argilla and Heat and not the AI models), there will be EXTREME OOC and LEMONS (non graphic).
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters depicted here. I am very well aware that Heat had a sister but I didn't know her name, so, I made one up. The only character of mine is Heat's sister and Argilla's mother. The rest belong to ATLUS.
Prologue: She
She was the wife of Dr. Serph Sheffield. She was a nurse at the Karma City Memorial Hospital. She was a faithful and loving wife and a true friend. She was the woman with an unusual pink hair and whom everyone regarded to be a rare beauty. She was Mrs. Argilla Sheffield.
Argilla's thoughts carried her to a distant memory as she looked at the flying birds in the sky from her windowsill. It was another working day for her at the hospital. Not that she minded her work; on the contrary. She enjoyed and felt a certain amount of pride from her work. It gave her a sense of worth and sense individualization from her husband. Her husband was a man of science who contributed immensely to the prosperity of Karma City and humanity in general. She loved and adored her husband. She wanted nothing more than to please him and him only; to wake up next to him every morning for the rest of her life; to cook for him and clean up after him; to be the mother of his children.
'Why did it turn out like this?' Argilla thought sadly as a heavy sigh escaped her lips.
She wasn't happy.
No, he did not abuse her. No, he didn't abandon her. And no, he wasn't cheating on her either. He had other priorities than her. He always had his head up in the clouds and saw nothing but his dreams and projects. He never saw her. He never saw how devoted she was to him. He never saw how she tried to please him. He never saw how she cleaned up after him; he never saw nor heard how many times she had told him that she wanted a family.
Nothing. He saw nothing. He did nothing.
Argilla bit her lip as her mind nagged her to come to terms with the situation of her married life. What situation? That they were falling apart. That he doesn't want this life.
'Stop it…' she held her head in her hands, shaking her face left and right, shutting her eyes tight in hopes of warding the painful thoughts from her mind. And yet, even if the thought would somehow disappear, it will be sure to return and haunt her once again.
She knew that she had to act, but what could she do if he barricaded himself from her? What could she do if he doesn't want to hear any of her ramblings? Ramblings? Yes, they were all ramblings to Serph; idle banter, mindless babble. They were anything but important of his time and so dismissed them and his wife without further ado.
