Sugar & Spice

Part three: Let it all out and have a cinnamon roll with us

"No no don't apologise, it's not your fault. I put a spell on him you see. I know why he came here, why he'd come back, why he'd linger and after tonight you know too, don't you?" I couldn't explain why but there was something about his words, about what he said just stabbed me in the heart slightly. I couldn't bring myself to say anything to that, while Seth took the silence as an answer and continues.

"He loves me. He hates it and he ran from it, but I could feel it, I could feel it when he grabbed me outside of the bar, he pulled me close and behind the anger and the fear, we're all of those memories. All of those good times, all of the love he's been trying to forget, but I no fool as I saw that same love for you the moment he burst through that door."

"You did?" I asked him with a surprised tone while he just nodded at my question.

"I'd only seen that protective look on his face once before; like he was ready to kill for you. So I know, I know how much you mean to him. If he really has been able to put all that shit behind him and you were part of that, I don't blame him, I don't blame him. But he kept Betty."

I wouldn't have been able to explain on what could have been going through Seth's head as he said that. On some level, probably smug since he now knows that Al kept the knife but I also felt like he was confused as well, but I don't think I could blame Al for keeping Betty for so long. For one; when it comes to love, it's never easy to forget or even let go of anything that had a connection to the former lover, but also because of what Al did with Betty. It was almost like he kept it as a forever sin, to be constantly reminding him of what he did, in order to save the person he loved.

"Tell me was she shiny? Polished? I bet she was."

"I wouldn't be able to tell you since I've just only learned about her. Plus, she was kept away inside the storage closet, but I imagine that she was given a clean up after what happened."

"Betty isn't some weapon related to a crime, it's a trophy. It's the last physical thing that connected Alphonse to me, and cherish is it." I kind of wished that he'd say that a little bit less sinister. Either way by the end of it all, it still holds a bad memory that was most likely eating Alphonse away. Even though he saved Seth by doing so, that doesn't mean he was fully proud of it.

"I wonder if it eats at him, having you but still having that little piece of me," he said with a slight smugness in his tone. You would think that I have gotten over with the thought of him having Betty while dating me. Am I really starting to feel self-conscious about a knife?!

"Come on, don't look so wounded," said Seth as he noticed the dismal mood I was going through. His efforts didn't help as the frown on my face just deepened, and when he saw that, he didn't like it one bit and began to talk in a way that I wasn't expecting, so much so that it made me turn my attention towards him.

"Do you doubt him? Doubt his feelings?"

"What..?"

"Because if after all of this time you've known him, whatever memories you shared with him, all of the sweet moments and falling in love and whatever change you've brought about in his life. If all of that could be undone because of a god damn knife, because of me, then you don't deserve him. Al doesn't feel anything halfway, if he loves you then he loves you with his whole heart. I could accept that he's moved on, that he's living a good, clean life that he's unfucked all the bullshit that we did and he's at peace but what I couldn't accept is that if he fell in love with someone so fickle, that my presence would cause them to doubt him."

At first, I couldn't even believe what was even happening. Seth, the very guy that holds a strong dislike of me is also consulting me and my relationship with Alphonse. The very same guy who I met at the bar is talking some sense into me. I honestly couldn't even say anything as I listen to him in both shock and awe. And at that moment; I guess I understood what he was saying. No! I totally understood what he is saying! I was allowing myself to feel insecure about a knife when I should really be trusting the guy who loves me! Rather than shadowing myself with doubt.

"You know what, your right. Alphonse is the guy that I fell in love with, and he fell in love with me. And yet here I was letting my own insecurity get the better of me, but I know that won't happen ever again! I trust him more than anything else in the world! And I'm not nor never lose my faith and trust to him; not to anyone else or to a knife. Because I love Alphonse!"
