Drabbled Dedicated to Renothe. Based on the Prompt: Send me "Shatter" and I'll write a scene where your character breaks my character's heart.
Everything was set just right. Harmony was so nervous about it, she was sick to her stomach. She got the flowers, red roses always reminds the cyborg of the Turk. They knew each other for so long, often working together. She fell into a delusion, her lonely heart concocted a lie, a beautiful lie.
Harmony was sure he loved her back. He never gave any negative hints, seem happy to see her. These feelings she could no longer ignore. She missed the Turk, even after they just saw each other. Today was to be the day.
Fate had other plans. She stood before Reno who looked confused. Harmony should have turned and run then, admitting it was a mistake. The cyborg decided to be brave, and foolish. She swallowed her pride and spoke to Reno, pouring out her heart to him. There was no affirmation, nor that smile that stole her heart. Harmony looked at his face and greeted by reproach. He took a step back with the flowers in his hands. He told the truth, the cold truth and shoved them away.
He never loved Harmony, there was nothing that caught his eye. She was a good co-worker, but there's nothing there. Never was…Never will be. Harmony lived a beautiful lie and gave her heart, he gave her the ugly truth.
"Why? What's wrong with me? Is it because how I look? Did I upset you?" These questions got to Reno's nerves pretty fast. Harmony was told she never appealed to him, another stab into her heart. Of course no one thought she was appealing. She's a broken woman after all…Broken and put together to become a monster. Harmony should have known better, she should have backed away. How could anyone handle rejection. Reno snaps at her and the two argued.
"How could you say that?! Y-you won't even give me a chance because of these?! Is that it?!" She snarls as she yanks her bangs away from her bionic eye glaring at him, her glove off to show her cyber hand. "I should have known! You are a damn idiot! I don't even know why I even fell for you! I must have been sick in the head." She hisses and fighting back her tears. Reno shouts back his defense, slamming his fist on the desk. The roses nested in the crystal vase tips over and falls onto the floor with a shatter. Reno and Harmony stare at the spectacle. They looked at each other before he growls and turns away to leave the room.
Everything feels so cold now. She falls on her knees, crumpled on the floor over the damaged flowers. Her gift is broken, much like her heart. How could he? How could she? Harmony's stomach twists and turns, the hot tears streaming from her human eye. She blew it, fucking blew it…Harmony became crazy, and lost Reno as her friend.
"It's all my fault…I shouldn't have done it…" The cyborg whispers before she fell, sobbing over her loss.
