A/N: Song for this chapter is 'Sunset' by the xx.
It seemed so strange to see her here, in their place. Except, it wasn't theirs anymore, because she was with another man, seemingly able to completely erase him from her memories. He'd come up here in an attempt to escape these feelings, and yet he'd ended up exactly where she was. And while she was celebrating, he was reeling.
mistakes and laughs
Nervous didn't even begin to cover what he was feeling tonight. What if this date just turned out like all the others, with nothing even coming of it? Surely there was something more to her, because something didn't quite fit. Something was there. Something was tugging at his insides, and he wouldn't rest until he knew what it was. Maybe taking someone to a work function on the first date wasn't quite the norm, but it would have to do. For now.
Perhaps he was the fool for not seeing it sooner. The way she hesitated, unable to look him in the eyes whenever he said those three little words. Her looking away seemed so natural, he simply adjusted. Held back his own hesitation, refused to mention anything to do with it, because he'd secretly hoped it was only his own mind playing games on him. He had rejoiced when she'd finally told him, and then broke down when he'd realised it wasn't meant for him. And yet, despite his distraught fighting to move on, his mind was filled with this melancholy, longing for memories that were long gone.
A/N: Hey guys! No time, no see, right? Well, I'm back! Almost... I'm going away again in a few weeks so I'm hoping to get this up and finished by the time I leave. For anyone wondering - it's Miracle-centric, but it doesn't actually really follow Miracle. I guess. So yeah, if you don't like Miracle (or Mike), sorry :( Also, sequel to My Hart Will Go On is coming soon! Promise it'll be up soon, hopefully before I leave on the 1st.
