Love is waste of time.

It's quite common matter somehow pathetic when the spring of love kept blooming.

Ender cried into the crook of his own arms, her face flushed with guilt.

"I'm sorry," she hiccuped, "I didn't want to but I needed you."

Wither didn't reply.

"You wanted to be friends and I- I was sure that you won't ever, ever love me. No matter what. That's why I gave you the love potion. I made you fall in love with me."

Wither swallowed, "No." He said defiantly. "You're lying. I do love you." He said.

"You don't-!"

"Shut up! Endy, I do love you! Okay?" He was breathing heavily now, "You make me happy. We have been together for a few months and you're trying to say that it was all a lie? It was all just a game? A fib?"

Ender nodded, her eyes as empty as the sky above them, hee heart as full as the sea. "I told you. I fed you love potion. I put it into your food when you weren't looking." Tears of pain dripped down her cheeks. "You don't love me." She said brokenly.

"But- you make me feel happy, Endy. You make me feel safe. You drove away my nightmares and every single pain I had. You made my life better."

She shook her head, "I drugged you for fucks sake. Why do you think you suddenly had feelings for me? Huh?"

"I-I do't care about that." He cupped her face, wiping away the wetness with his palm. "You're mine and I love you."

"Stop! Stop it, please." Ender pushed away his hand. "You need the antidote. Wait-" She pushed away and got to her feet, Wither called her name but she didn't listen. She needed to fix things.

"Ender, love. Listen to me."

"No. No. Stop. Let me make you normal again."

She fetched the small blue bottle from his bag and held it out to Wither. "Here, drink this. I can't hold onto this lie anymore."

The hacker stared at the bottle, he was torn between the sane and drugged part of his mind. He didn't want to acknowledge that everything he felt for the past months was a complete lie; he felt like screaming.

His heart shouted and wailed, telling him to push away the antidote and making Ender his no matter what.

His mind, the rational side, told him to drink the blue colored potion and be free of the mind games Ender had trapped him in.

His life was a fucking misery without her. The nightmares and loneliness plagued his days until Ender got rid of them.

"Wither," Ender pleased again, "Please take this."

"What about you?" He choked out, "If I take this then what will happen to you?"

Ender bit back a sob, "I'll leave you forever, I won't ever bother you."

"But you'll be alone."

"It's okay," Ender smiled weakly, Wither won't be so kind to him after he drinks the antidote, "I'll be okay." Sge lied.

"You're lying."

"Fine, maybe I am but it's the right thing to do. I can't make you love me. You are your own person and it's your job to fucking decide who you love and care and like and kiss and love. I don't care if it breaks me. It hurts me more to see you like this, like you actually do love me."

Wither sniffled, "I want to love you." He whispered. "You aren't the only one who is alone, you know. My friends have their partners. My mum is dead and I have nobody. Nobody except you."

He plucked the blue bottle from Ender's hand who tensed. He rolled the bottle between his fingers, "If this is the thing that's going to stop me from loving you then I'll destroy it."

With those words, he flung the bottle at the wall. A loud crash of breaking glass echoed in the silent room. The blue liquid dripped down the white wall of the hotel, like the tears dripping down Wither's cheeks.

"You're mine, Endy. You're mine and only mine and I'll love you forever. I don't care if- if I have to drink a fucking love potion for my entire life. I'll be yours. Forever yours."

Bonus :

"Thinking about what?"

Ender felt her cheek being kissed by his lover who had just sat beside him.

"It is nothing." She answered.

And that answer made his girlfriend raise an eyebrow demanding an explanation.

"Just our first meeting on the train." Ender leaned her head on Wither's shoulder, then smiled faintly.

Wither grabbed his lover's fingers and linked them with his, "I thought there was owl droppings on my face," he smiled amusedly remembering the incident five years ago.

"Why?" Ender straightened up in her sitting position and stared straight into those obsidian irises with a hint of forest.

"You stared at me without blinking. I also thought you saw a creature I couldn't see," Wither laughed when he saw Ender's face slowly turning red, "your cheeks are red." he said which made Ender's face even redder.

"Shut up!"

"You're so adorable." Wither's hands grabbed Ender's cheeks and pulled. Then he laughed again when he saw his lover's annoyed expression.

"Sick." She glared at him while rubbing her cheek which had just become an easy target for the hacker of Nether World.

"Sorry, sorry."

And Ender couldn't help but smile when her body was hugged and her head was stroked gently. She always liked it when Wither did it. And her hands automatically hugged her lover's thin body.

"I miss you." Wither whispered..

"Don't overdo it. You're only going for a day to look for potion ingredients with Professor Notch."

"I always miss you, Love."

Ender raised her head to look at Wither, "A new nickname for me?" he asked, not forgetting the smile that spread across her lips.

"You don't like it?"

"I like it," Ender answered in a low voice, then buried her head in the crook of Wither's neck again. Then she closed her eyes, her sense of smell picking up the hacker's distinctive scent mixed with something more fresh, "but you embarrass me." She continued which made wither smile.

"So no one can know I called you that?"

"Doesn't Endy like to show off? I thought you would tell the world that I was yours."

"You know me very well," the dark-faced young hacker let go of his hug and grabbed Ender's nape, then kissed her briefly on the lips. "Love."

OK, that's enough. Ender's face was very red now.
