Frenzy
Title: Hers
Song: One by Ed Sheeran
"I'm sorry, Diaval. I can't give you what you want."
Maleficent's words echo in his head as he replays the scene over and over. Diaval finally mustered the courage to confess to his mistress what he feels for her. He's done his waiting- quite a number of years, in fact. He waited until he thought she was ready. In the end, she was never going to be ready for him.
He knows he made a mess of things. He catches her staring at him when she thinks he won't notice, and it's not the kind of staring he wants. She stares at him with sorrow in her eyes. She's aware he's hurt, and she feels sorry for him. Lately, she's taken to treating him as if he were a delicate thing. Maybe he was. His heart is certainly easily broken. Still, he absolutely deplores the way she acts toward him now, like she wishes things could go back to the way they were, like she wants him to stop loving her.
He misses her. Diaval misses their late-night conversations. He misses their light banter. He misses being able to sit close to her. Diaval misses flying with her. He doesn't even get that luxury now. He watches her take to the skies and desperately wishes he could fly with her. He can't, though. It will only cause her distress. But he wants her, wants to be with her so badly.
So he ends up apologizing. He tells her that she's still his best friend, his only companion, and he will try his best to forget what he feels for her if only she'd stop distancing herself from him. Diaval implores Maleficent to at least try to move past this. He says to her that he won't mind if she can't give him what he wants. And it's true. Even if this is all they can be, he'll endeavor through it. If she doesn't see him as anything more than a faithful familiar, he'll learn to accept it eventually. He'll take whatever scraps of affection she can give him and be thankful for it, because she is his mate and he is hers, all hers, for as long as his life endures.
A/N: I don't even know what this is.
Review please! Reviews might bring my writing mojo back (because I've almost run out of steam!) :)
Cheers!
