Sorry for the wait, I needed some inspiration!
You held out a hand as snowflakes fell softly onto your opened palm.
Ping!
Every snowflake sounded like music notes, sound after sound. You began quietly pouring out your feelings into the wind, words falling out of your mouth.
Jar of Hearts-Christina Perri:
No, I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half-alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
"That was really pretty."
You jumped back in surprise, spinning around to see Kirito.
"Thanks….I guess…" You said, not really wanting to deal with this.
"Look, I really need to say something. I'm sorry. Truly. More than anything."
Your breath caught in your throat. His solemn face bore into your heart, and you ached to just jump into his arms. But that was your problem. You trusted too much.
"I….forgive you." You smiled, finally caving in.
"Yessss!" Kirito cheered, hugging you tightly.
You flashed him a tight smile. Things would go back to normal, right?
~~~Two months later~~~
Things did go back to normal for a while, because Asuna had to leave the country for her parents' business trip.
"Kiritooooo!" A girl's voice screamed, waving frantically in the spring warmth.
You took in a deep breath. Kirito said they and broke up, and you trusted him. It was going to be fine. Asuna laughed, jumping at Kirito. She hugged him tightly, and Kirito smiled softly.
"Hey Asuna." You stiffened, waiting for a harsh response or a reply filled with fake honey.
"Hey (Y/n)!" Asuna said sincerely, grinning widely in your direction.
W-what?
She always treated you as inferior…
~~~Kirito POV~~~
Wow, can't believe Asuna is back already. To tell the truth, over the two months I had developed a sort of crush on (Y/n). (Y/n)! My childhood friend! It's not right!
~~~Normal POV~~~
"I'll...I'll go get some drinks!" You smiled, before running off towards the vending machine.
Little did you know what Asuna was going to do.
Sorry for the wait, see you guys next chappy!
