For this chapter, I'm doing a songfic with the song Please Don't Make Me Love You from Dracula: The Musical. I don't own the song, the musical, or the other stuff but Illustre and this fanfic. Please enjoy.
Ch.5: Prisoner of Love P1-Please Don't Make Me Love You
Daring only on the large pile of pillows sadly before Ahuizotl joined her with a loving smile and wrapped his tail around her gently. She didn't even flinch as he then took her frontal hoof gently and kissed it softly. She knows that he's trying to be the best lover for her, but she knows this is all wrong. They're enemies; they shouldn't be in love! And yet here she is, Ahuizotl's prisoner of love.
"Has anyone ever told you how gorgeous you are?" he then purred into her ear before kissing her cheek gently. Daring just shut her eyes tightly to fight back her tears as she turned her head away from him.
"Ahuizotl, just stop this," she whimpered. "Please…" He only frowned at her with concern.
"What's wrong?" he asked, brushing a finger against her cheek to wipe away the tear that escaped from her eye.
"I just can't…" she answered, getting up from the pillows and walking away from him slowly. She just knows that sooner or later, this whole thing will end in heartbreak.
There's only so much
That a heart can take
Before it starts to break
As she started to sing, she felt a couple more tears flow down her cheeks. Usually, she sings when she's alone so no one would hear her. But right now, she just feels like letting her inner pain out, not caring if Ahuizotl's watching or listening.
Please don't make me love you
Please don't make me need you
I've no room in my life for something like this
Daring's not always one to fall in love. Back when she was in high school and college, she had seen a lot of her filly friends get their hearts broken by the pig-colts who played with their hearts before going after other fillies behind their backs. When that happens, Daring teaches them a lesson they don't forget, humiliating them and exposing them as the heartbreakers they are before they ended up getting dumped, suspended, or even worse expelled.
Please don't take my mornings
Please don't take my mornings
I know they will vanish the moment we kiss
Caballeron was one of those creeps. He played with her best friend Amber Shine's heart before flirting with a bunch of other girls in her face. Daring then exposed him to the dean of the college who took her word for it and the evidence and had the play-colt expelled. Since then, Daring chose not to fall in love out of fear getting her heart broken.
I grow weak when we talk
I'm confused when we touch
I should just walk away
But that's asking too much
And yet here she is, the object of Ahuizotl's affections. She turned her gaze to him as he came up to her and nuzzled her with a loving purr to comfort her. Although she loves his comforting right now, Daring slowly stepped away from him with her head down, still confused with her newfound feelings for him.
Please don't make me do this
Please don't make me want this
All my dreams were taken until I met you
It's true what she said. She never dreamed of such an exciting life until she first met Ahuizotl. If it weren't for him, her life would never be so full of adventures, danger, and challenges. But this challenge…how can she overcome this? It's bad enough that she kept on thinking about him lately, especially the flirty punch lines they exchanged in the recent past.
You're the one I think of
Soon as I awaken
Funny how the heart tells the mind what to do
But Daring didn't want to fall in love with Ahuizotl, even if he is handsome…charming…a strong leader…caring towards his cats…Daring felt more tears come to her eyes.
I'm not sure I could go through all the joy and the pain
Much better now to let these dreams take flight
"Daring, mi amore…" Ahuizotl purred with concern. Hearing his voice again, Daring rushed up to his chest and pressed her head and front hooves against his chest, catching him by surprise as she poured her heart out to him.
Please don't make me love you
Please don't make me need you
Simplify my life just by setting me free
Seeing how much pain and confusion she's going through right now, Ahuizotl wrapped his arms around her in a comforting embrace as she finished her song.
Promise me you'll do this
Only you can do this
Please don't make me love you unless you love me
"Please, Ahuizotl," she sobbed into his shoulder. "I…I just can't…"
"I can't believe you let them out of your sight like that!" Discord groaned to Illustre as they flew over the jungle.
"Me?!" Illustre snapped. "You were watching them too! 'Sides, I remember you telling me to keep an eye on them."
"Hey, you're smart enough to know what to do while I was getting the antidote arrow!"
"Ugh, you're just as bad as my mother! Let's just find them before Ahuizotl does something to Daring. I for one hope they—"
"Illustre, I don't even wanna talk about it, okay?!"
