How could he say that he's happy enough with me just being next to him, whenever half of my heart is still with Zero? Why would he lie like that? He's waited ten years. Ten years that I spent knowing nothing.
I want him to be happy. I won't allow my innocence to torture him any longer. I want to make him smile. I will no longer allow his eyes to be full of loneliness.
I love him. I will stay by him. I will lock away the other half of my heart and hope I don't seal it all away by mistake. I will love him—as my brother, as my fiancé. I will not betray him or his feelings—though I may betray my own.
