Zeldris x Reader: Yearning

Ch. 13 Together

(Y/n)'s POV

As Zeldris confessed his feelings towards me, I felt a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. "You know, Zeldris. When you suddenly disappeared without any trace and I have been looking for you, that's the time I realized that your not just a companion or a friend of mine but someone much more important to me," I admitted, my voice trembling with vulnerability. It was in that moment that I truly understood the depth of my feelings for him. The way he looked at me, with such sincerity and affection, made my heart race uncontrollably. As Zeldris knelt there, waiting for my response, I took a deep breath and mustered the courage to say, "Zeldris, I love you too, but I don't want to feel this kind of agony again. I'm sorry, and I hope that our paths will never cross again in such circumstances." Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched the pained expression on Zeldris' face. The realization of the pain I had caused him hit me like a tidal wave, but I knew deep down it was the right decision. "(Y/n), please don't say that," Zeldris pleaded, his voice filled with desperation. "I can't bear the thought of never seeing you again. Please, give me a chance to prove that I can make this work." His eyes searched mine for any sign of hesitation, but I remained resolute in my decision. Rage burned through my veins, fueled by the memories of his past actions that had caused me so much pain. But amidst the anger, there was also a strange mix of curiosity and longing, as if a part of me was drawn to the vulnerability he displayed in that moment. Confused and conflicted, I struggled to make sense of these unexplained feelings, unsure whether to embrace him or shut him out completely. I freed my hands from Zeldris and covered my face, trying to hide the tears that threatened to escape. The war within my heart waged on, torn between the need for closure and the fear of opening old wounds. In that fleeting moment, I realized that forgiveness held tremendous power, but it could also leave me exposed and susceptible to further pain. As I pondered my next move, the weight of my emotions felt both unbearable and intoxicating, making the choice ahead of me all the more difficult. Tears flowed down my cheeks uncontrollably, and I don't know what to do anymore. I emit an enormous aura, causing him to fly backwards and land in a crumpled heap. The shock of my sudden strength gave me a momentary reprieve from the turmoil in my heart. "Did you know, Zeldris, that the day you vanished was also my birthday? I never thought I would spend my birthday in such anguish. So, every time my birthday comes around, I am reminded of that unbearable pain and the choices I had to make. It's a bittersweet day, filled with conflicting emotions," I stated as I towered over Zeldris, my voice trembling with a mixture of anger and sorrow. The world seemed to grow silent around us, as if time itself was holding its breath, acknowledging the weight of my words. Zeldris stared up at me, his eyes wide with shock and understanding, perhaps for the first time truly grasping the impact of his actions. In that fleeting moment, I felt a flicker of empathy for him, for the burden he would forever carry knowing that his disappearance had caused such pain. Our destinies intertwined in a way that could never be undone, forever reminding us of the choices we made on that fateful day.

"(Y/n)! I won't give up until you become mine!" Zeldris shouted with determination in his voice as he stepped forward despite the overwhelming force I just displayed. My mind was in a whirlwind, torn between the love I felt for him and the fear of what it could mean for my own safety. The tears on my face mixed with the determination in his eyes, and in that moment, I realized that there was no easy solution to this predicament. "Stop! Don't take any more steps!" I yelled back, my voice shaking with a mix of anger and sorrow. The intensity of our emotions collided, creating a storm of uncertainty within me. Part of me wanted to surrender to the love I felt for Zeldris and believe that he could protect me from the chaos that engulfed my life. But another part reminded me of the importance of self-preservation, urging me to resist his advances and find my own path to safety and happiness. The battle for my heart had just begun, and only time would reveal the choice I would ultimately make. As I stood there, torn between these conflicting desires, I couldn't help but question the very foundation of my existence. How had I allowed myself to become so entangled in this web of emotions? Was it possible to find solace in the arms of the one who both ignited and extinguished the fire within me? The weight of my decisions pressed heavily on my shoulders, and I knew that whatever path I chose, it would shape the course of my life. "You can't stop me, (Y/n). I have been waiting for this moment where we will be reunited once again and embrace you into my arms!" Zeldris shouted back at me, struggling to get near me due to the pressure wind emanating from my aura. "I will never give up on you!" he said, making another step towards me, his eyes filled with determination and love. Despite the chaos surrounding us, his words calmed the storm within me. Zeldris had always been the one who amplified my passions and quieted my doubts. "I promise you that we will be together forever this time. I don't want to lose you, (Y/n)! Never again will I let anything or anyone separate us!" He yelled, taking the final step towards me, his outstretched hand trembling with both fear and hope. In that moment, I could feel his sincerity resonating deep within my being, extinguishing any remnants of doubt that lingered.
