Sorry it took like 2 months, I had no motivation to write and if I posted what I originally had I might have well just handed you a pile of dog shit. 

Second Person P.O.V

He was gone. You knew it for a while now. He was somewhere in the big world traveling with his best friend, Frosch. Sting and Lector were there too. They left you behind to watch after the guild. When your boyfriend sat you down on your shared bed and explained why he had to leave so urgently, you cried. It seemed so selfish, no. It was selfish. He was leaving to go save some people from a monster. That made you feel like the monster, wishing that he'd return sooner than planned. Wishing that he never even left.

It was a late spring night. The street lights glowed and insects buzzed from bushes and trees. The neighborhood was silent. Not a person in sight, but you could have sworn a raccoon ran up a tree a couple blocks back. Unless a super fat squirrel was getting a late night snack.

Before unlocking the door to your rented house you stopped to get the mail. You flipped through the small stack of envelopes in your hand. Bills, Bills, a pamphlet for some mattress store and a letter with R.C on it. You looked at it in confusion.

'I know an RC?'

In your confused state, you grabbed the door handle and used your body weight to open the door only for the door to not open and you to hit your head on the piece of wood. You dropped the mail and fell on the hard concrete. That hard hit to the head helped you snap a bit out of your tired state and figure out who sent the letter.

Rouge Cheney. Your boyfriend of three years. Your boyfriend who had been gone for 5 months and this is the first letter you've gotten from him. You scrambled on the ground and tried to get to the letter in a panic pace. Anything could be in this envelope. A letter that he's sick. A note that the monster had gone missing. Maybe It's a letter that Lector got Frosch pregnant?

I take a comfortable position on the cold gray stairs and carefully open the letter. I flip open the flap and take a few deep breaths while softly rubbing the harsh white paper in my hands that were slightly shaking like they were unworthy to graze the fragile material. The small part of the lined paper holding the only contact I've had with the love of my life taught me as is peeked out of the envelope. It didn't have a face but if it did it would definitely be giving me one of those faces a young boy would give the girl he liked when she was losing at tag. Teasing me cause that piece of paper and I both knew that I wasn't capable of reading that letter without bursting into tears. My Rouge could be proclaiming his love for me, breaking up with me for some mountain girl he met, or giving me a heads up to prepare his favorite meal in 2 weeks when he'd return home, and I would still cry and cry and cry.

Cry him a river? I'd cry that boy the four oceans and seven seas.

I'd have really dry eyes though...

After a minute or two I finally gained the courage to read the letter.

To my sweetest Y/n,

You would have received this letter when the world would no longer have the blessing of me. Only when my soul has reached the heavens will your eyes ever graze these words written in pen. I'm sorry my dear, but I have failed you. I was an Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and has plummeted into the depths of the sea.

Now you'll never feel the comfort of my arms. The warmth of my kisses. But you will always have the memories. As a blessing or a curse, I can't decide for you. Do with them as you please. Burn them into your mind and never forget the way our love made you feel, or drown them in other things in life like alcohol, money, or the loving of another man. Whatever your heart desires.

Rip this letter or frame it. Just remember, It's April first.

April Fools :)

Oh and for real, I should be home by mid-May. Get ready for cuddles!

Love,

Rouge Cheney (your daddy)

"What...?" I asked allowed. I place the now teardrop covered letter in my lap and wiped the salty water from my eyes. What did I just read? I leaned back against my door and looked up at the stars with a blurry vision. No way this boy just did this to me. No way. This is a joke. Natsu from Fairy Tail must have done this. No way my Rouge just did this.

"Yo Rouge, what do you think she did with the letter?"

"Tore it apart out of furry?"

No.

No way.

I'm hallucinating

"Do you think she would've cried?" An all familiar blonde asks as he gives me a smirk after noticing my red eyes.

"I hope not. Would it make me a bad boyfriend?"

"Totally. Oh, guess what Rouge, you're a really bad boyfriend! Look!" Sting said pointing at my helpless figure in the dark. Rouge moves his view from a sleeping Frosch to me and quickly went into a sprint to the doorstep.

"Oh my god Y/n! Are you okay? Are you hur- the letter?" Rouge said as he kneeled in front of me, carefully grasping the back of my hand with one of his.

"Uh, yeah. You scared me." I said wiping a stray tear with my free hand.

"I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking, it was Sting's idea and I was so happy that we got rid of that monster and that I was able to finally return home to you and I just threw all common sense out the window." Rouge said as he softly kisses the back of my hand after his apology.

"It's oka-"

"Okay that's enough love birds, me and Lector are crashing at your place. We'll be on the couch if you need us. Can we have bacon in the morning?" Sting asks as he opens the door. Rouge and I look back at each other and burst into a soft laughter before joining sting inside our humble abode.

"I'm so happy you're finally home."
