Blue Reminds Me of You || Dave x Reader

I'm blaming my best friend for suggesting angst for this chapter smh >:"[ /lh This'll be created by the power of my tears and funny music I have in my Spotify playlist

Anyways, onto the chapter (this is going to be painful to write-)

------------------------------

It was a fine Saturday afternoon when you were walking around the town park as you felt like going outside for some time now. Looking around, you see some groups of people having fun on their picnic blankets and tables. Children run around with their bubble toys and colorful balloons on the grass, joyously laughing as they play about. A blue balloon floating to the sky catches your eye, reminding you of a certain person. Memories of him start replaying in your mind, tears forming in your eyes as you reminisce of those days. You wipe them away and continue walking out of the public's view to somewhere with nobody around. You successfully found an empty bench and sat down, your head still reminding you of him.

Dave was your colleague in the school you both worked in as teachers. He was a Math teacher, meanwhile you were a Music teacher. You started to have feelings for Dave during a party one of your fellow teachers hosted as you two started to grow a bond. Time passes by and the two of you would usually be seen hanging around in the teacher's lounge, talking about each other's day and events that had occured. Some of your workmates wonder if you and Dave are a thing and the two of you would just laugh it off then deny the fact that the two of you are more than friends. Well, at least Dave thinks so, while you start to feel like you want your relationship with him to be more than just buddies.

But....you're scared that he would reject you and start to grow distant from you and the whole school will gossip about you two. Some students might have gotten hints but they're merely seen as a joke to them. This fear made you unwilling to tell your true feelings towards Dave..

That choice would soon be your biggest regret yet as Dave told you that he's going to be transferring schools and that he'll be an Algebra teacher there. You were happy for him on the surface, but on the inside, you were in dismay as you felt like your shot at finally telling him your feelings is completely gone.

And so you lived your life with regret and sorrow, your days felt bland without him. A lot of people in your school have noticed the sudden change of behavior, and whenever someone asks why you've been sad, your answer would just be the same;

"Probably just a feeling of melancholy....I'm sure it'll go away tomorrow so don't worry..!"

You still strive to keep a smile on your face as much as possible, although you can't help but miss seeing or hearing Dave talk about his morning with a cup of coffee. Thank the gods you haven't had a breakdown in front of your class or fellow teachers whenever something reminds you of him. It didn't help that he doesn't use his phone often and made you demotivated to try to send a message or two to his number.

You sniffled and wiped all your tears away with a handkerchief then let out a sigh. "I wonder how he's doing right now...", you muttered as you looked up to gaze upon the clouds covering the light blue sky. You wondered if he still remembers you, after all, it had been three years since you last talked to him. As you stood up, you then told yourself;

"He's surely forgotten me already....All that's left to do is to just move on now.."

You walked off to head back home as you remembered there's still some students' activities needed to be graded. As you walked off to leave the park, you didn't realize the guy wearing a blue turtleneck sitting on a wheelchair was just hanging around the tree near the bench you sat down on. He heard what you said about him, but he was scared to approach you. As it turns out; he reciprocates the same feelings towards you as well, and that he was also afraid to say it because of the fear of rejection. He thought that by distancing himself from you....the feelings would go away...but all it did was hurt them.

He did remember you. He did love you back. And he thought you don't feel the same way. He was afraid you'd reject him, and thought that by distancing away, it would just go away. It didn't. He kept on thinking about you, and on how you were doing; but he thought that this feeling towards you is distracting him from his main priority of teaching. Dave had been passionate about being able to teach, and the thought of falling in love never crossed his mind. He didn't know that by suddenly ghosting you, he would be hurting you as well.

He wished he'd apologize to you for hurting you, but he missed the opportunity to do so; and all because he was scared that you'll never forgive him.

"Maybe next time...again....", Dave mumbled to himself as he saw you leave the park completely. "..I hope.....we'll finally meet....once more..".
