"I'm not the one that you want, I'll only let you down"
-Chiodos "Intensity in Ten Cities"
Didn't she see that she was perfect? Didn't she see that he would never be able to live up to her standards?
He was too old, too plain, too ordinary and she, she was spectacular, beautiful, brilliant. She was a princess who deserved all of the finest things in life and most of all, the prince of her dreams. He was no prince - not even close - and there was no way in hell that he could ever buy her all the things that she deserved. She needed gold, silver, and satin - things that he could never get her. Didn't she see that he wasn't rich?
Why did she pick him, out of everyone, why him? Why not Teddy or Lorcan or Lysander? Why not one of those fine suitors who would have been more than happy to pamper her like she longed for? He didn't deserve such a flawless human being like Victoire but she didn't care. He tried to tell her to move on to someone more suitable, more presentable, someone more like her but she wouldn't hear a word of it. Victoire would always tell him the same thing every time - never faltering with her replies. She always delivered her answer with that tone of hers that assured Neville that she was telling him nothing but the truth. "I stay because you love me."
He couldn't deny that statement. He did love her like he had never loved anyone before - no, not even Hannah. He had never really been faithful to his ex-wife but she had been no better. Damn Anthony Goldstein and his goldness. But that didn't matter anymore; he had moved on from Hannah. He would never stray away from Victoire because - well - because he did love her. Maybe she was right. Maybe love was enough to keep them together.
Okay, well this is for Mew-Tsubaki 'cause without her this wouldn't have strayed from my notebook.
Victoire/Neville is a pairing made by Mew and if you use it, please be kind enough to give some credit to her. For more weird pairings, check out my C2(Mew and Mor's Weird Pairings.)
The lyrics that I used belong to the band Chiodos. If you listen to them, make sure that Craig Owens is the one who is singing 'cause the other guy sucks...
Okay, the Anthony Goldstein thing and his goldness is kinda a joke between Mew and me so if you didn't find it funny then that's why.
:D
Thanks Mew for being a siriusly awesome beta! *Brings out a platter with cookies and Sirius-es on it*
