"What if it was the prince who needed saving?"
Not receiving an ounce of love even in his childhood, he became heartless. His cold exterior scared people away, and not to mention his detached, unemotional personality. Haunted by his past, he was use...

Fuck. I said it.
It's been pounding inside my brain ever since I kissed her, punching my fucking gut whenever she asked me if I cared about her. But it's out now. She knows, and it feels like the weight of the world is lifted off of my shoulders.
And when she said it back, God knows my heart fucking burst inside my chest.
I regret asking her to leave. I was fucking pissed at the moment. She had almost gotten them killed.
But the moment she left, I felt empty. I wanted to run after her and get down on my fucking knees.
I always fucking let my rage get the best of me. For the past few days, I spent so long trying to come up with ideas to apologize. Finally, I came up with something. I was planning on waiting a few more days to mentally prepare myself to apologize, but I guess the sooner the better.
I made her crocheted flowers.
When she looks at them, a loud wail leaves her lips. She covers her mouth and sobs. "It's so fucking cute" Her hands reach out and she lifts her drink. "I do find it strange..." She takes a sip out of her blue Icee. I watch her in awe. I always do.
"What?" "Why you never told me that before" She turns her head to meet my eyes. I hmm for a moment.
"I know you're a coward when it comes to things like these, Zee. But you should've said it earlier. I would've punched you in the stomach when you asked me to leave and never come back" I watch as she stuffs her face with a large burger.
"I guess I should've. It just never left my mouth no matter how much I wanted to say it"
"That's okay. I mean, of course, you love me. What's not to love?" I chuckle to myself.
"It only took you like, seven months or so to say it" She huffs. I cluck my tongue. "Well, I've said it now. Do what you will with it"
"Wait hold on" She holds up a finger, then her face breaks into a smile. "I think I need to hear you say it again"
I grin, resting my arm on the steering wheel. "I love you, Astraea" She kisses her teeth. "Say it like you mean it" I roll my eyes at that.
"Bitch, I love you. And you're going to be my fuckin' wife someday"
"Damn right, I am" She takes another large bite of her burger, the crumbs falling onto her shirt.
"How's Felix?" She suddenly asks, turning her head towards me, chewing. I shrug. "He's fine. Can't really get around without help, but he'll be fine"
She rests her head against the back of the car seat and sighs. "I wanna see him" "Right now?" "Mhm"
In a few minutes, we reach outside his place. I park the car and we step inside.
"Rina is here, no?" I tilt my head. She nods. "She's been taking care of him. She asked me to come meet him many times. I just never had the courage to face him" I take her hand and bring it to my lips, kissing her knuckles.
