The key turned in the apartment lock, the door opening with that familiar creak it always had done.

Your ex was out with his friends, he had always chosen them over you anyway, meaning that it would be just you in the apartment. You were supposed to get the rest of your stuff and then leave the key into the apartment. Close this chapter of your life.

You realized that this was better for both of you, the relationship hadn't worked in a long time. Yet it still hurt and you still desired to feel love and cared for by someone.

Your ex just wasn’t the right person for that, too much of a manchild. But you would find the perfect person, you desired that so deeply, so deeply that the thought of it made tears form into your eyes.

“I wouldn't waste tears on this one.” a silky voice caught your attention, turning your eyes towards the open bedroom door.

On the bed, holding a framed picture of you and your ex, was laying a strikingly beautiful being. They looked like they were genderless and androgynous both at the same time. Who were they? Was this the distant cousin your ex had told you about? You somehow got the feeling that they weren’t that cousin you had heard about.

Laying on their back, resting their head over the end of the bed. Their golden eyes looking deeply into your own eyes. Smile of their face was maybe meant to be nice but it looked rather sharp.

“Love is one of my expertise,” They asked with a tone that sounded almost like the purr of a cat. “And my goodness, isn't it a wonderful thing?”

When you didn't answer anything right away, they turned on their stomach and letting the picture frame slip from their hands and. It fell to the floor, glass shattering.

The golden eyes didn’t even flicker for a brief moment to look at it, their gaze stayed on your face.

"Isn't it?"
