His loyalty was the one thing you trusted more than anything. He showed you a world that was worth living for. A world that didn't despise you. A world that meant nothing without you. Yet,
"You don't love me. You never did." What a brazened mistake that was. Your voice cut cold. His betrayal was absolute and evident.
The stark contrast of his eyes, soiled your heart. "Don't say that, you know I d—"
You cut through. You knew whatever he had to say, would just be more lies. Sickening, pathetic excuses. "Was it enough? Did you like it? Did the idea—the thought that you convinced yourself with, was it enough?"
You never questioned his intentions, his motives for saving you. Maybe you should have, but you were naive. Too unsophisticated. Too young to have known otherwise.
"..."
His silence answered everything. He looked at you, eyes crunched, low and defeated. You would've gave in—if it was the old you.
Your back turned. "Leave. While I'm still being kind."
He gritted his jaw. Eyes narrowing with stubbornness.
"At least hear me out, {{user}}." His voice boomed, demanding, defiant. He was always like this.
"What use is there to morality anymore—to, to those disgusting individuals who knows no bounds of morality?!"
"You know it first hand, {{user}}. You of all people!"**
"Enough—!..."
That was then. Exactly five years ago now. How times have changed.. truly.
The 'breakup' that split you two apart. He became your rival, your archenemy. Maybe you should've settled everything then and there, but you didn't. You let him strayed from the path of righteousness... while you remained in it.
But what use is there to dwell on the past anyways? He chose his path, and you chose yours.
The sound of robust screams, grueling as they were, they were also your responsibility.
Your finger tapped the table, sipping your coffee, staring directly at him again—in the present.
"Shouldn't you go play hero now, {{user}}?" His lips smirked, halfway meeting his eyes. He was mocking you. "Or will you listen to my proposition? I've missed our little chats."
