"You have no idea how I feel right now. How I have always felt ever since you left me for that redhead Bloom." She told him staring at her hands in her lap instead of him. Not wanting to look at him. She decided she was going to tell him everything. Everything she had always wanted to tell him since he practically cheated on her with another girl.
"I have gone through so much for you. I have went through hell and back just for you and had to give up everything I had grown accustomed to just to make the necessary connections for a future princess of Eraklyon. All those years I spent training and taking etiquette classes were all for YOU. Some prince I knew I was meant to marry in the future and become a princess of Eraklyon." She explained trying to keep her voice from shaking.
Sky was looking right at her now, sitting silently and listening to what she had to say.
"But then that Bloom girl showed up and stole your heart. You went to Red Fountain to train to be a specialist and on the Day of the Royals, I find that you were in fact seeing another girl behind my back. Behind your own fiancee's back. And then you have the nerve to break our engagement for some girl you just met! Do you have any idea how much that HURT?! " Finally having the courage to look up at him with teary eyes. He was emotionless but his eyes showed guilt before it quickly left.
"I'm sorry Diaspro, but I-" He started but was cut off.
"NO. I don't want to hear it. I'm not done talking so keep listening with your mouth SHUT. ALRIGHT?!" She told him finding the strength in her voice again.
He immediately shut up and continued to listen to her. Although slightly irritated that the one time he decided to show her some sympathy she didn't want it.
"After she won your heart I tried everything I could to take it back! Yes, you're right! I did make a deal with a devil but I did it for you! Was I proud of it? NO. Of course I wasn't but I was desperate. I just wanted you back, Sky! Then when I heard that your memory had been snuffed out from Princess Krystal I tried to help you get it back!" She told him now crying. She sat back down now hiding her face in her hands.
"Then I let myself get convinced by those three damn witches to get rid of Bloom by killing her! I was so stupid but I was desperate, Sky! Everything I did was for you! All for YOU! A dumb prince who wanted to go against tradition just to have some fun!" She told him feeling so angry and hurt.
She tried to calm herself down and stop herself from crying. "You are such an idiot Sky. The biggest idiot I know. But for some stupid reason, I still have these feelings for you that just don't want to go away! No matter how much I try to convince myself that what happened was for the best, that you were no good for me and that I deserve way better, I just can't seem to move on and get you out of my head! It's pathetic!"
She just couldn't seem to calm down. She was just so hurt! "I risked everything for you Sky. My social status, my own future as a princess if not of Eraklyon, and even my own sanity! Everything that I had grown accustomed to has now been a complete waste of time!"
At this point not only could Sky not look at her anymore but he was he was feeling so incredibly guilty for what she had to go through because of him. Feeling tears coming out of his eyes he just didn't know what to say. For once in his life, Sky had no words to defend himself from what Diaspro was saying.
"Answer me this Sky, did you even once think about how I was doing? All those times you were with Bloom, did you ever wonder what I could be doing or how I was feeling on some days? Did you ever….." Diaspro felt herself get worked up again and her voice shake.
"Did you ever even stop to consider your actions and how much it could affect me? Do you feel like leaving me for Bloom was worth having me suffer because of you and let me go completely out of control?" She asked him expecting him to answer already. But he just sat there with his hands over his face not saying a word at all.
She took in his posture and the way he was covering his face as a sign saying that he never even cared at all about her. "But of course not….I was nothing but a childhood friend to you that was a complete annoyance to you."
He couldn't stand it anymore. He had just now realised how he was the reason why Diaspro even spiralled out of control in the first place. He is such an idiot.
"YOU'RE RIGHT." He finally said standing up not looking at her as he turned his face to the side with his fists clenched.
She stared at him in shock. "WaIt, WHAT?!"
"I am an idiot and I now realise that I am actually the one who caused you to end up this way. It was because of my stupidity that I did this to you, my own fiancee. I should have been more faithful to you. I shouldn't have treated you the way I did after practically cheating on you. I'm so sorry and feel so foolish that I could even believe that my relationship with Bloom would have worked out and we would be married now." He explained feeling so much rage and hate at the fact he wasn't honest with Diaspro from the start the moment he started having feelings for Bloom and letting her suffer the way she did.
Diaspro looked at him not quite sure what he meant by that. "What do you mean?" She asked quietly.
Sky let out a deep sigh and ran his hand through his hair before taking a seat on the couch facing her.
"I mean that if I had just been faithful like a good fiancé is supposed to be and not let myself fall for another girl, you would have never suffered and our lives would have probably been better. I should have known better than to go against tradition but when I met Bloom, I-I don't know, I thought I could have a shot at love that wasn't built on an arranged marriage. I would have proved my family and all of Eraklyon wrong and make them realise that you can have a marriage built on love. I thought that by being with Bloom, I would be doing that."
Sky then laughed at the irony of it all. "I didn't want to be proved wrong."
Diaspro was silent. Just staring at her hands in her lap as she listened.
"I'm sorry Diaspro, so sorry that I did this to you. I don't expect you to forgive me. But I just don't want you angry at me anymore. I want to make everything up to you, I want to redeem myself in your eyes. But only if you let me."
He suddenly got up from his seat and walked over to her pulling up with her hands. She looked nervous and a bit hesitant.
"I-I don't know about this Sky. I don't think I'm ready to jump back in to an arranged marriage with you. I mean, I do have feelings for you but-" Diaspro was cut off by Sky's hand over her mouth.
"Diaspro, I do want to redeem myself in your eyes but not just for myself, but for our relationship as well. Maybe not to the point of being reengaged, of course, but for the sake of our friendship. We were a good friend to me when we were kids, Diaspro. I-I don't want that to go away."
Diaspro was now looking at him thoughtfully. She removed his hand from her mouth to speak. "How do I know you won't forget about me again? How do I know that you won't disregard my thoughts and feelings again?"
Sky looked at her smiling. She felt butterflies in her stomach but tried to remain strong and mentally cursed herself for thinking how handsome he looked right now.
"Because I promise you that I'm going to always be there for you whenever you need me, I'll make an effort to listen to you and give you my support, and I will try NOT to sugarcoat any issue like I had done with Bloom." He said giving her his word.
She looked at him for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. "If you really mean the words you're saying…"
"I do." He confirmed to her.
She gave him a small smile. "Then I guess I can give you another chance. Just know that if you ever break your promise…."
"I-I won't, I promise. Thank you Diaspro" He told her.
She sighed. "Just don't let me down." She whispered to him.
He pulled her into a hug. To think this all started because his parents wanted them to be reengaged.
He hugged her tighter as he whispered in her ear. "I promise….."
I know it's rather odd having a DiasproxSky fanfic like this, but I actually like them together and I'm not a fan of BloomxSky.
