A/N: People requested more Fiyeraba fluff, so here ya go… Enjoy!
Sometimes I wonder why you keep coming back here, night after night. We fight so often, and you look so hurt when I snap at you, like a kicked animal. You think I don't notice, I know, but the truth is I'm trying so hard not to care.
I can't start caring about you, Fiyero. I've invested so much in this, in my cause; I can't just throw it away for some boy I knew years ago.
Oh, Oz, I wish I could convince myself that that's all you are to me. Just a boy I knew, just an old friend – no, an old acquaintance, from the days before I found my cause.
I try to drive you away, and sometimes I nearly manage it, but then you turn those kicked-puppy eyes on me, and I just can't say the final cruel thing that would push you away forever. Or you kiss me to shut me up, and it works.
I hate you sometimes, Fiyero. I hate the way you can get under my skin like no one else ever has. I hate the way you can derail my argument by just touching me. A simple touch should not be enough to make me forget what I was saying, forget everything except your hands on my skin… but with you, it does, and I hate it.
I told you once that I hate you, and you looked at me for a second, then put your arms around me, and kissed me, and made me forget that I don't love you.
I don't love you, Fiyero. I let you come here, and do… everything we do, but I don't, I can't, I will never love you. I know you don't believe me when I tell you I don't love you, but it's true, Fiyero.
I don't even know why you followed me here. I wish you hadn't, because now I can't seem to get rid of you.
I should get up now. I should push you away, and tell you that you can't ever come back. But then you trace 'Fiyero Fae' on my back with one finger, and instead of pulling away, I move closer, snuggling into you.
Your hands trail through my hair, and just for this moment, it doesn't matter why you're here, and it doesn't matter that I shouldn't let you do this, and nothing matters except you, Yero my hero.
