She lay in his arms, his hands caressing her unruly curls, her eyes closed laying on his shoulder. He was whispering sweet words in her ears, and rubbing small circles on her back. She felt relaxed, needed and cared for. Like she was wanted by someone, two hearts mended into one, two hands holding the same fate. Two smiles on their lips, two souls being comforted together. The words left his mouth coming out light and soft
"I love you so much Fef" Yet she couldn't return those words, those feelings, those ways of thinking. They just weren't there. Her friend of years was now telling her how he felt and yet she couldn't say anything important, anything good. She just shook her head and looked back at another boy. A tall boy, with different colored eyes, and a smug grin on his face. She pushed one away, and ran towards the other.
She ran like there was no turning back, like someone was chasing her, like she was finally let loose from the reins that had kept her stationed in one place for so long. She ran into two boney arms, and nestled herself into the bare chest of Sollux, his hands running through her hair, keeping her safe, making her warm. Eridan turning away defeated, lost and broken as he took one look back and didn't stop walking until he was out of her sight. Then all of a sudden the sound of glass shattering against the ground sounded in her ears, her heart perked up and Sollux's disintegrated in her arms, falling out of her grasp and all over the barren ground. No words could comprehend what happened but she scooped up the remnants screaming his name over and over searching for an answer, anything to stop the anguish that came over her.
A scream escaped the young girl's mouth, as she shot up from her dead sleep looking about the room. Nothing was wrong, everything was fine. The sound of the shower stopping alerted her that he had just gotten done. Her boyfriend of two years walked out, his matted black hair, wet and sticking to his face. His colored eyes hidden underneath, droplets rolling down his torso and back like constant sweat. Yellow boxers on his bottom half, small and cheap looking. Feferi couldn't help but giggle at the sight as she rolled out of bed. She looked at the clock, it read six thirty-four. Six thirty-four? Oh god she was going to be late, she rushed around the room, there was no time for a shower and she barely had time to do anything but get dressed and go. She brushed her hair quickly, the thick red locks hard to manage and even harder to get through with the fine bristles. She wiggled into a pair of jeans that were laying on the floor, and placed the light pink shirt on. She smiled and waved to her boyfriend as she slipped on her shoes and headed out the door.
She ran down and into something hard, or someone. She looked up at the other woman, who looked down at her with worry and confusion, she gave out a small pale hand.
"I'm terribly sorry..do forgive me"
Feferi just smiled and nodded, giving her a quick nod before racing past her and towards the double glass doors.
She felt a grip on her shoulder and turned around "My name is Aradia by the way" The other girl smiled and gave her a wave. Feferi didn't no what to do, she felt like there was something familiar about this girl.
"Do you live here?"
The girl shook her head and laughed lightly "Im here to visit my boyfriend Sollux" Feferi's heart exploded at those words, she managed to stutter out the words
"Te-tell him I hate his filthy guts." She ran out the door and to the streets, running down the sidewalks and making it to her job just in time, grabbing an apron and signing in she walked over to the counter and sat behind there looking at the marble ingrains that covered the countertop.
A bell chimed as she looked up to see her first customer of the day. His brown hair done in an updo, and his pale blue scarf hung around his neck. That scarf..she made that scarf and gave it to one person for his birthday..could this actually be that person? She hadn't seen Eridan Ampora in over three years, they were at the prime of their life, Eridan had told her his feelings and she rejected him and went out with Sollux instead, after that they just kind of drifted apart and their hearts slowly formed a new wound. She brushed some hair behind her ear, as he walked to the front, pale blue eyes focused on his shoes.
"I wuh-will have a black coffee please" He looked up, handing her a dollar, when he stopped short and stared at her, just looking into her hazel eyes. It couldn't really be her? It couldn't really be him?
"That will be just a moment Erifin" She giggled lightly at her old pun and realized how stupid It probably sounded but to the man's ears it was pure music.
