Memories (Lio Fotia x Female Reader)

Chapter 20

Warning: rude language

You opened violently the door to Lio's room.

You were starting to get angry.

He helped you in every way he could in these past few weeks and suddenly he ignores you? What kind of person does that?!

"Lio" you called.

Lio was laying down on his bed, blankets even covering his face. Only some of his hair were showing.

He groaned. He didn't want you there.

"Lio, get your ass out of that bed" you said "I think it's time for us to end this circus"

He uncovered his face from the blankets, and looked at you with a sleepish look. Even if sleepish, it was still a cold look.

Did he even sleep in these days??

"Lio, why did you suddenly start to ignore me? We were peacefully talking about you coming home late that day and suddenly you got all nervous, what's going on?!"

He got up slowly. His hair were a total mess. A comb would have been in a miracle in this case.

"Why should I tell you?" he said.

"Why should you tell me? What kind of question is that?!" you answered "We were just talking about how you care for me, and then you became cold all of a sudden! You must because it also revolves around me. And also because I'm the only person here beside you."

He was getting angry.

"So what? Do you have that much of an ego to think that it revolves around you?" he said, clearly lying.

Why the heck was he lying?! You knew too much well when he lied.

"Lio, I know you're lying. Stop telling me lies and tell me the truth" you replied, getting even angrier.

He started to grind his teeth.

"You can't help me" he said.

"Why not? If you just tell me what's going on-"

"JUST GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM BEFORE I GO CRAZY"

He snapped.

But if one moment he was angry, the next one he was full of regret.

He didn't want to say these things to you.

He was astonished. But even more astonished when he saw the look on your eyes.

It was a death stare.

You had enough. You just wanted to help.

You were heartbroken and angry. But at the same time empty. You sure had enough.

"Fine" you said.

You approached his door.

"But don't ever come back to me, you piece of shit" you added.

"Y/N-"

Before he could reply, regretful, you had already slammed the door behind you.

He fell on his knees.

Just what had he done? Why was he ignoring you?

He got so nervous from thinking about the past that wanted you to stay out of it.

He was shivering. He just lost you there.

And then he started thinking about the picnic day again. Did he do something like now that day to lose you?

The memories started the hurt more.

Your smile, your gentle words and touch, your paintings...everything he loved about you...was erased in five seconds.

Tears started to fall from his eyes.

He thought he lost you.

...

You didn't even have the strenght to cry.

You were done.

The painting you had done of him the first day he started to become cold was staring at you.

It was a beautiful painting of his reflection in an amethyst. It is said that amethysts symbolise affection. They symbolise love. And in the beautiful purple stone there he was, with his gentle traits.

You wanted to erase that painting. You were about to throw it away but suddenly you stopped.

Did you really want to throw it away?

You totally felt anger for him now, but...were your feelings towards him totally forgotten?

You needed a pause.

You wanted to go back to Promepolis.

...

Lio was staring at the floor. Eyes dried from crying. He could have easily been considered dead: he wasn't moving.

Well, he did indeed feel dead inside. He was feeling a lot of regret, and wanted to go back in time and ask you sorry and tell you that everything was going to be fine, that he just needed some more time to think.

Did he really have to go that far?

Without him expecting, his door opened. It was you.

You still were cold. But it wasn't your death stare from before.

He looked at you, full of hope.

Only for you to say that you were going back to Promepolis.
