Time was a funny little thing; it seemed to drag ever since she left. Even with missions.
As entertaining as it was to train a new member to the cause, her cat ears reminded me a little too much of Blake... I quickly shake off the thought of her before the feelings could come; the last thing I needed was breaking down in the middle of a hallway.
I go into my apartment, thinking about sending a request of no more partners. I worked better on my own since her departure.
My slanted vision manages to catch sight of an envelope on my table, seemingly waiting.
Only my name was written on it; no return address or any hint of who it could be from.
I slowly open it, daring to hope.
Adam,
I love you, but the man I knew is gone. He has been gone ever since that first mission after the new leader stepped forward.
I miss your smile too and how things used to be. The memory of the cheerful boy with the missing tooth will always be a cherished one of mine.
But we can't go back. We've made our choices, picked where our loyalties lie. I chose both the Faunus and the human race. You stand with the White Fang who would see their end, including your own people if they stood in your way.
I want equality too, but not at the expense of human extinction. We would be no better than those who wronged us.
I want nothing more than to return to the boy I loved, but not the man he's become. I'm sorry.
Forgive me,
Blake
I'm not sure how long it took for me to fall to my knees. I'm vaguely aware I'm crumpling the paper as anger courses through my veins.
Just when I think I'm going to explode, the realization of her rejection sheers through my mind.
I release a strangled cry as I cover my face, my gloves soon becoming soaked.
As I sit there sobbing, a little, black box continued to collect dust.
I've been thinking about doing another story about what happens to Adam after this, during the first season. Please let me know if I should or not.
