Cupid was the only one who had experienced giving love, seeing love, but never had she ever been the recipient of love. For her, love was simply a thing for her to give when needed. A job perhaps. She felt joyous helping others with their problems. It was like she was a therapist, for those kinds of circumstances. It even came to the point that people made appointments for her to talk with couples seeking guidance in her area of expertise. If they were looking for a fashion consultant, they'd want to look for Briar or Ashlynn. If Cupid was a fashion consultant, she'd advise everyone to wear pink and white and gold. It wouldn't help much to those seeking. And that is why she is a matchmaker; she had just the right words to say and right things do to fix everything concerning love.
She most definitely had a burning passion for being a matchmaker. One day, Eros just told her, "Here, have a bow and a few arrows and play matchmaker." It was her job from then on. It wasn't that she had a choice. It wasn't that she didn't hate it either. She just simply thought there would be something else for her. Not that shooting people in the butt isn't fun. It totally was amazing to seeing those kids look at each other like they've been blind the whole time until that point in time.
However, she always wanted to experience love herself. She could always poke an arrow into her behind and cross her fingers that it'd work out for her. Of course, that would be quite weird, wouldn't it? She always felt she was incapable of someone loving her back. She was somewhat physically appealing, and her personality wasn't that bad. She could easily get a guy at her arm, right? Sadly, when she's at a high school where everyone knows her deepest, darkest secrets and she's known these guys since forever after, even though she's just recently transferred. Cupid would do anything to have the most tiniest glimpse of what love is, and had it been from the guy she's been eyeing at for the longest time, then she's go complete crazy.
Life would probably be easier if she didn't have to be the one to solve everyone's problems. It would be easier for her anyways. There always had to be someone to play matchmaker, and everyone would want to point fingers to the next available person. She was the one who picked up that burden that no one really wanted to carry. It had to be done by one person. If only she didn't have to do it. Maybe there would be no matchmaker in Ever After. Maybe people would understand the burden she barely can hold up. They just don't understand what she has to go through. Nobody does...if only there could be that one person who could just put her in their thoughts, to understand what she goes through, what she wants.
Short prologue for this new story concept! Crossing my fingers (maybe my toes too!) that this works out and that you all have positive feedback to this, it would mean the world to me! A review and a favorite would be amazing! I'm hoping for this to be a CupidxDexter story if you don't mind. I've just loved the idea of this ship ever since the beginning (like 2 yrs ago!) of the start of EAH. Please do accept it even if you don't ship them, because that's what respect's all about. Respecting what those believe in even if you don't believe in it yourself.
