Born with a heart broken from the start
|
With her gym bag on her shoulder Emiko was slowly walking across the lawn on the backside of the school with Deus. She was being true to her word about not revealing the hurtful things Mrs. Solomon had said, instead she made it sound at least somewhat like a normal conversation. Although, Deus knew how his grandmother was as a person so he probably suspected that Emi wasn’t completely truthful about what had happened on the plane. Emiko’s steps started to drag behind her a little as they walked before she came to a halt. Looking at her friend she tried to put on a smile, “I’m sorry, but is it okay if you go ahead without me?” She lifted up a hand and waved it, “Don’t worry, everything is fine.” The whole incident had made Emiko start thinking about her and Deus’ friendship and the fact that her heart wanted more than just that. She didn’t have any unrealistic fantasies of the future nor silly dreams of how everything would magically be alright, but what about now? Was it okay to let things be like they were? Yes, it was comfortable and easy, but was it right? It wasn’t her true feelings after all. “I think I just need a moment by myself. Is that okay?” Emiko finally said, looking down and to the side, avoiding meeting Deus’ gaze. |

"It's obvious you're not telling me everything.." He said with a sigh as he tucked his hands deep into his pockets. He looked to her, bending over to meet her gaze. "Idiot... At this point it should be clear right..? I mean.. That we're.. friends.. So.. you can properly rely on me for things like this.." He said falteringly before shrugging in defeat. "Yeah. I'll give you some space.." He said idly as he looked away from her. "Whenever you're ready." He couldn't say he blamed her. His grandmother was an intense person. She terrified most and others she infuriated. Someone like Emiko, as soft and easy a target as they come, The Duchess must have ripped apart like nobodies business. He was curious what The Duchess wanted with her, but if Emiko didn't want to say Deus couldn't very well force it, could he? At time like this he was really.. useless. He wasn't good at listening or lending strength when people needed it. This was his number one weak area. Oh well, if she said to give her time that was all he could do.. He wandered off from her, glancing up at the sky. What to do from here on.. He needed to figure out a way to make The Duchess never pull a stunt like this again... Back when Emiko sent him that text he'd been so scared. It felt like his brain blanked out and all he could do was rush around at top speed, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing. He'd felt the true extent of his powerlessness.. Right from the start he'd know Emiko wasn't suited to his lifestyle. He'd tried to keep a bit of distance between her and it and yet now it was coming after her... In the end it really was risky just to be near her wasn't it..? But they'd already said that not being friends wasn't an option. They'd had that whole argument. If distance wasn't the answer, and being close was risky then what was the right option? He sighed again, ruffling his hair as he went in circle on what to do. |

Only when the sounds of Deus’ footsteps died did Emiko turn her head to look up. She watched him for a short while, seeing the sun reflect in his golden hair as he looked up at the sky before averting her gaze with a heavy sigh. She didn’t know what to do. Was love supposed to be this hard? Did it have to be painful before the good could start? Although, how was it even supposed to start when Emiko was not only deceiving Deus by not telling him the truth but herself as well. There was something between her and Deus, something that kept on bringing them together, but by keeping her feelings hidden she wasn’t even giving them an honest chance. Although, it was much easier said than done and Emiko need to figure out what she wanted to do on her own, there weren’t any textbooks that held the correct answers. She needed to do what felt… right. “Deus! DEUS! Wait!” Emiko called out to him with a hand stretched out, as if it would freeze him in his steps. “I- I need to tell you something! Wait!” she cotinued yelling and hurried to his side, dragging her bag. When she finally caught up with him, a nervous frown on her face, she said in a low voice, “There is something I need to confess…” |

Deus stopped and turned looking back to her quizzically before rubbing his neck as he looked around. He contemplated leavign anyhow for a moment, since this sounded liek a pain in the ass and he'd almost made it away back to the quiet comfort of his bed. However with all she'd been through it'd be pretty lame if he did such a thing to her. With a small grunt of annoyance he turned back heading for her. "Uhm.. confess?" He said turning back to her. He'd been walking off to him room, when she called out to him in true melodramatic style. Honestly he had no idea what she could mean? Something to confess meant she'd lied to him, right? About the grandmother? He really didn't know how to interpret that... Eh.. it was probably nothing.. Yup.. |

Emiko looked at him with slightly widened eyes now that she suddenly was on the spot. She didn’t even know what she was supposed to say, she hadn’t really planned any of this. It was just that Mrs. Solomon’s talk about Deus’ future made Emi realize that she wasn’t treasuring what she had with him here and now. She was playing pretend and had been doing so for the last couple of months, it was time to let the truth out. “I… I…” Emiko started, unable to meet his gaze. God, suddenly it felt so awkward... Inhaling deeply and holding her breath for a few seconds she decided it was now or never and looked directly into Deus' blue eyes with a nervous expression. Then she finally said it out loud; the words she had known for a while but never admitted to the one it mattered the most. “Deus, I... I love you.” A momentary silence fell over the duo as her words sank in. Suddenly it felt like the floodgates to her feelings had opened up and Emiko wasn’t able to contain it so she continued, but this time her voice was strong and full of emotion. “At first I didn’t want to realize it and I even denied it despite knowing the truth deep down, but I can’t do that anymore. I love you! I’m so hopelessly in love with you that I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s been so hard being around you, pretending like I am nothing more than your friend when my heart is aching, begging, for more.” Tears started to brim her eyes and her voice sounded choked up, “I have never felt something like this before, and I'm glad that these strong feelings are for someone I've cared for from the beginning. You have always been there for me, even at times I didn't expect you to be. Just being close to you makes me happy and I wish I could make you feel the same." Tears started to trickle down her cheeks, "But... but what tears me apart is not the fear of you never being able to return my feelings, instead it is us no longer being friends after this. The thought of losing our friendship is painful, it clenches my heart like an iron fist and it feels like I might die” Emiko’s voice cracked and she made a small gasping sound as she clutched a hand over her chest, “I can’t give that up. I can’t give you up.” Edited by Lelil, Apr 3 2012, 05:27 PM.

"I.. see..." He said staring at her in shock. He faltered, clutching his hands into tight fists. He wanted to touch her, to comfort her. The pain she was in. She was right in front of him and yet she'd never felt further away. Her words.. They were like a storm, or an act of god. They completely destroyed what had been there on a few moments before.. All in the hopes of what..? Did she want him to reciprocate..? He couldn't, not out of dislike for her.. No.. never that.. Perhaps if there was anyone in the world he could love it'd be her.. But.. No, thinking like that was useless. Because no matter what that was the thing he absolutely couldn't do. Deus Rule #1: Never Drag Down Others With You. All his life he'd been focused on that one desire of toppling his uncle and getting his revenge. And the one thing he never wanted to do was harm someone else in that quest. By involving them he made them targets, by involving them he made them complicit in the act. He wasn't to destroy his uncle.. For him there was nothing else that gave his pathetic life meaning other than to see the bastard go down.. But from the start he knew that if he took anyone else into that pact he'd only wind up hurting them. His uncle had left Deus' father die... He'd caused his mom to be in the broken state she was in.. He'd taken Sheryl away from him.. He'd had Deus exiled from the main house.. Everything bad that ever happened to Deus was because of that man.. Every single thing... And.. Even if he did... Even if he could... No.. He couldn't... "Thank you.. for.. telling me.. And for... Your feelings.. I just... I just can't.." He said looking down, a deep pain in his chest. He wanted to comfort her.. but he couldn't. Because everything in his body was needed to maintain his composure, to not do something rash that he'd regret.. "I'm sorry.." |

Emiko wiped her tears away but new ones kept on coming in a silent stream. Hadn’t she known from the start that Deus didn’t feel the same? Wasn’t this the outcome she had expected from the beginning? Then please, explain to her why agony was tearing through her body… “I-it’s okay,” Emiko finally replied with a small hiccup while smiling bravely and rubbing her eyes with the backside of her hands. “I mean… I know you don’t feel the same, and I’m not going to lie… It hurts, a lot… and I wish…” she held her breath before admitting the truth, “And I wished for more, but it is fine. It’s okay. At least we can stay friends, right?” Emiko looked up at him expectantly with teary eyes and a red nose. “If you can’t give me anything more than your friendship then that is enough, I’m glad and thankful and I won’t ask for more because I…” her lower lip started to quiver as she looked down at her hands, “I just don’t want to be without you.” She wrapped her arms around her waist, hugging herself. Emiko had bared her heart and true feelings with her confession and she had never felt so vulnerable and exposed as she did in that moment. Deus could basically slash through her with a simple ‘No’ to her request to stay friends and devastate her. To be honest, she couldn’t help but wonder if he was considering it, after all, Emiko wasn’t acting like she usually did and maybe Deus had had enough of this kind of annoying behavior.

Always able to pull a straight face.. Always able to pull a straight face.. He glanced to her, forcing a grin. "Of.. Of course we're still friends!" He said quickly. It was.. painful. Forcing the smile, and trying to sound like normal. It was.. painful and hard. After all she'd said. And all the things he wanted to say. But he couldn't say anything. It was better for her to completely give up on that, without any hope of it happening. If she held onto some small thing he said as a reason for hope she couldn't properly move on. That really would destroy their friendship.. Why did she.. .Why did she need to go changing things in the first place! They had been good as friends right? Everything had been fine.. And now.. now that was all different. He even had to question all the things they'd been doing until now. He'd definitely lead her on a few times, right? He'd been in the wrong here... There were times when he'd been tempted to do things.. Argh! Now he'd have to watch his every move like a hawk! And.. wasn't it easier for him if they weren't friends? And her too... Distance would allow her to heal more quickly.. And.. and... He glanced away from her back to the dorms. "I ah.." He stepped away before looking back. "I'm going to head back now.." He said turning away from her. |

Emiko looked up at Deus, giving him a weak smile through her tears upon hearing that he wasn’t going to avoid her now that she had revealed how she felt. But she wasn’t a fool, of course things wouldn’t be the same and it might even be awkward but that was better than not being friends at all. “I’m glad,” she admitted before letting out a forced nervous laughter, “Aha ha ha. Don’t worry about this. I mean… about my feelings. It will pass. It is just a crush and with time it will falter. So, I’m not going to do or say anything weird about this. I… I just wanted you to know.” If she had kept it bottled in maybe in the end she wouldn’t be able to stay friends with him because it would be painful. Seeing it that way it was good to let it out, to clear the air, so to speak. Even so, when Deus turned to leave fear gripped at her heart. Despite what they had said about staying friends Emiko had a feeling that they wouldn’t see each other for a little while. And that scared her, she was afraid that he would disappear and that it would be all her fault. “Bye,” she stared at his back before adding in a whisper, ”Don’t stay away for too long...” *** When will I see you again sadness glitter butterfly rose bubble anime backdrop *** The end.
