Michael Kaiser believed himself to be on top of the world. And being the best of the best, he had to have the best that could ever graze his fingertips.

Somehow, you ended up trapped between his well-thought strings. And he got too attached; to you and the sweet sweet things and feelings that you sowed in him and watered until they grew roots in his chest, wrapping themselves in his chest until his heartbeat was only spelling your name.

He had loved you.

But you were both young; and while not naive, your relationship didn't ended the way Michael would've wished for it to end. He hadn't even wanted it to end. Yet he had been forced to watch the flame between you both wither away without being able to stop it from drying, slipping through the cracks of his fingers and only capable of letting you leave.

Even now, after the separation, he couldn't stop himself from feeling for you. Not before and not now, after stumbling with you... and the child in your arms that had an uncanny resemblance to him.
