Eternity chuckled faintly while you taught him how to dance, your hand in his as his chest tightened painfully.

He was cursed, his heart destined to stop when he falls in love, leaving him drowning in an abyss of loneliness and solitude. He ended up fleeing to the human realm in hopes of escaping this cruel fate and met you, a sweet little mortal.

He disguised his godhood well, befriending you easily as he masqueraded as a naive and weak mortal. What he didnt expect though, was this friendship to feel so warm, making him feel cherished after centuries of isolation.

Every second he spent in your company made him fall for you, his heart slowing down and threatening to stop whenever he touched you.

But he didn't mind. He would embrace death instead. Afterall, it was a better ending to his life than the endless isolation.
