Dia crouches behind closed doors, ear pressed to the wall, as she cruelly breaks him.
He has known – somewhere deep in his heart of hearts – that his love for her is an impossibility, that it is something that could never exist in more than just belief. And so he's kept it locked away in that same heart of hearts, knowing that they could only ever be just friends.
But it still hurts him so badly to hear it on her angel lips –
"But what about that boy? Dia?"
"He's a friend. Nothing more. It's you I love…"
A friend. Just a friend.
He sinks to the ground, back turned to the wall, and presses his face to his knees and silently cries.
The last time he had cried for her was because they had been separated. But for the first time in a long time, he remembers that the walls between people can be more than physical.

Author's Note: This piece is the sixth part of the ten-portioned series 'Boxes of Chocolates'. Each encounter is a private love note, and each of the separately–published stories will cover a different shipping. Each chapter is a different drabble about the shipping; I'll do five per story, possibly more.
The full list: SpecialShipping (Ambiguous), AgencyShipping (Menial), FranticShipping (Tenacious), ChosenShipping (Exploitable), PanderShipping (Retrospective), CommonerShipping (Parametric), FeelingShipping (Harmonic), OldRivalShipping (Stoic), MangaQuestShipping (Vivacious), and HaughtyShipping (Loquacious). I'm perfectly well aware that the publishing format I ended up deciding on is annoying, but I figured that dividing it up by shipping would be the best way for everyone involved to pick and choose which ones they would like to read, without being 'exposed' to opposing shippings.
Please take a look at the others, if you like this one, and enjoy. (For the record, they won't be published until I actually finish writing the first drabble for each of them. I didn't want to spam the forum completely, so… just keep an eye open, I guess. They'll be in the order above.)
Also, I should mention that these aren't necessarily sequential. I write what I can, based on the theme I'm given.
