Your only one. The kingdom inside you had come undone. The eclipsed sun, this has broken you now. Those startling grey eyes, like white darkest of storm clouds, with flickers of molten silver in them making them all the more beautiful. His lips when they’d press a chaste kiss to your cheek in the morning, before he’d leave for training, but he’d come back and leave a lingering kiss on your forehead. Always. Always.

Perhaps it was because he knew the password so you let him through the door? But he won’t now, so what’s the point of keeping score? It still hurts beneath your scars, and your smile. Because he pulled you apart. But this, is just as hard. Living without him like before. You still lived in the castle, so did he. You still saw each other, both of you. But.. you weren’t the one anymore.

Time passed and you supposed, he got bored of you and your affections? It’s like, he saw, he truly saw a future with you and then, one day he just stopped with the gestures.

Was it because of the new girl, Paedyn, that both the brothers seem smitten with? Was it because you had to travel for a fortnight? But he was your only one. You didn’t want another shade of blue- no grey, but him. His eyes. Him. No other sadness in the world would do.

So on a rainy day, when you’re just tidying your grand rooms, someone knocks, and before answering walks in. Kai. Only Kai knocks and walks in immediately. It was early morning, maybe six? The sun was hidden by clouds, the perfect mental pathetic fallacy. “I came to kiss you before I left. I didn’t realise you were up.”
