This was originally going to be a one shot but people liked it so I'm writing a short second part :)
Also shout out to MyDemons47 for all the awesome reviews! Thanks! :)
"I'm just... really happy that you're here."
He gave a weak and forced smile.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I just... I feel really bad for worrying you like that. What I did was stupid."
She shook her head. "I don't care. You're here now and that's all I care about but... why did you do it?"
"...I went to visit him in prison the other day. My brother."
"What happened?"
"I didn't want to go at first. I didn't want to face him yet. I know it's been over a year since it happened but I felt responsible for him being in there."
"He killed two people and attempted another, he made those choices, not you."
"I went to visit him. He's a terrible person who made terrible decisions, but he's still my brother, I don't speak to much of my family."
"What about your parents?"
Klavier stayed silent. Although his parents were still around, he didn't have the best relationship with them.
"I haven't spoken to them since then. They think I'm a traitor."
"Wait, you're telling me that your brother KILLS people and YOU'RE the traitor?!"
"He was the 'perfect son' until then. They accused me of doing it out of jealousy. They pretty much cut me out of their lives. Anyway, I went to visit him. He didn't resist to rub salt in the wound... kept talking about how I was the disappointment of the family. He told me I deserve to feel shitty about myself after allowing both of them to be sent to prison."
Ema didn't need to ask, she knew he was talking about Daryan as well.
"He actually made me think it was all my fault. I can't believe I did what I did... because of what he said to me. I was so fucking stupid!"
Ema pulled him into a hug, she knew how much he would've been hurting. She felt a wreck when Lana was only accused.
"So I went home after and I... you know the rest."
"Apollo and Athena found you, they called me as soon as they called an ambulance for you. I honestly thought you were dead. Why didn't you talk to anyone? You're always so happy, no one would've known how you were really feeling."
"Thats exactly why I didn't tell anyone. I didn't want them to think I was weak."
"Klavier... no one's going to think you're weak for feeling like this. Two people who were close to you went to prison for murder, your parents blamed you, anyone would feel like this if that happened to them. Don't ever say that you're weak because you're not. Kristoph treated you terribly and doesn't deserve your pity. And I... I blamed you for Kristoph's doing. I feel awful, I'm so sorry."
"I've never faulted you for that. Thank you for talking to me. I needed that... I love you, Ema."
Ema looked at him in shock but she smiled at him. "I love you too."
She leaned in and closed the space between them. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She smiled against his lips and pulled away.
"I'm happy we could have this talk, too."
