Fated To Love | GeminiFourth

5. The Tides Of Fate

The days turned into weeks and then to months, Gemini and Fourth basked in the glow of their blossoming love. Every moment spent together felt like a beautiful dream.

However, beneath the surface of their happiness, a storm was brewing—one that neither of them could foresee.

As the end of the school year approached, Fourth's family received unexpected news.

His father, an esteemed diplomat, had been assigned to a new position overseas.

The announcement sent shockwaves through Fourth, who had always envisioned spending his senior year with Gemini by his side.

“Fourth, are you okay?” Gemini asked one afternoon, sensing the weight on Fourth's shoulders as they sat on a bench beneath a sprawling tree in the schoolyard.

The golden sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a warm, serene atmosphere.

“I’m… I don’t know. My parents told me this morning....we’re moving. Soon...” Fourth replied, his voice shaking. The words felt like a punch to the gut.

Gemini’s heart sank. “But… what about us?”

“I don’t want to leave you, Gemini. I can’t imagine being away from you. But my family—” Fourth’s voice trembled as he struggled to find the right words.

“It’s okay.” Gemini interrupted softly, forcing a brave smile. “If you have to go, we’ll figure it out. We’ll stay in touch, right?”

“Promise?” Fourth asked, his eyes searching Gemini’s face for reassurance.

“Of course.” Gemini replied, though doubt lingered in his heart. “I’ll always be here for you.”

Over the next few days, they tried to make the most of the time they had left together.

They revisited their favorite spots in the city, laughed at old inside jokes, and shared sweet kisses that lingered long after they parted.

But with each passing moment, the reality of Fourth's departure loomed ever closer.

On their last night together, Fourth suggested they return to the aquarium. It was a bittersweet decision, filled with nostalgia for the love they had shared in that magical place.

As they walked through the dimly lit halls, their hands clasped tightly together, the vibrant colors of the fish danced around them, mirroring the emotions swirling in their hearts.

“Do you remember our first date here?” Fourth asked, a wistful smile on his lips.

“Of course! I thought you were so cheesy with your pick-up lines!” Gemini laughed, trying to lighten the mood.

“Hey, those lines were legendary!” Fourth teased back, but the smile faded as he looked deep into Gemini's eyes.

“I’m going to miss all of this. I’m going to miss you.”

“I’ll miss you too.” Gemini admitted, swallowing the lump in his throat.

“But we’ll find our way back to each other. I believe that.”

As they reached the jellyfish exhibit, Fourth turned to face Gemini, the soft glow illuminating their faces.

“Promise me something, okay? No matter where life takes us, we’ll always remember what we had. That love like ours never truly ends.”

“Promise.” Gemini whispered, tears brimming in his eyes.

“You’re my first love, Fourth. You always will be.”
