Her lips felt familiar.

It was almost as if he had once felt a home in her kiss. It used to feel amazing, and it never failed to elate him. 

This was something he used to know for four years. It was something that made him comfortable, it gave him hope.

   The light that was once in the kisses she gave him no longer held its value, it fell completely flaccid. There was no hope, no light and certainly no love. 

Adrien delicately placed his hands onto Kagami's shoulders, gently drawing her away from his mouth with a grimace. He stepped back, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand with a deflated sigh.

Kagami widened her eyes, a deep blush devouring her round cheeks and her neck as she realised what she had just done. 

She reached up, her fingertips touching her lips delicately as there were no words for how much she missed feeling of his mouth against hers. He still had her heart, and he continued to hold it for years. No matter what she did, she couldn't get him out of her head. 

"I-I'm sorry..." she breathed, quickly dropping her gloved hands to her side with an expression of bewilderment. Her heart only ached in her chest as she was only met with a look of pure impassiveness from Adrien. "It’s a force of habit. We've been together for four years, it's all I've come to know lately."

  Adrien exhaled, his breath drawing into fog as it touched the cold air. He glanced back at her, the weather no longer bothering him as he himself couldn't believe the nerve Kagami had.

Part of him felt bad for her. He remembered being in a place like that.

In fact, there was a point where she was all he knew and despite the denial of her infidelity, Adrien found it hard to let go of her up until he saw it with his own eyes. 

But everything changed the moment he realised their relationship had no grounds for trust. Adrien couldn't trust her, and he knew from that moment on that their relationship would only ever escalate to them suspecting each other and fighting over it.

  The thought of it made him incredibly miserable. He couldn't see himself doing it. He couldn't be with someone who could lie so effortlessly to him and keep a straight face all the while still being able to sleep at night. 
Another part of him couldn't empathize or come to terms that cheating was ever okay. 

He had Marinette now, and he couldn't mess things up so deep into their marriage.

"It’s been seven months since we've broken up. I'm sorry that you've grown to a certain habit for four years," Adrien elucidated, shifting his weight uncomfortably. "You have to move on. That part of our lives is over."

"B-But...you can't just be with someone for four years of your life and not miss or be in a habitual state of what we had," Kagami pleaded, tears pooling in her eyes once more. "Did I really not mean anything to you? How can you expect me to move on so quickly-"

"I gave you an ultimatum," Adrien interjected, his green eyes molding into a cold glare the moment he looked at her, "And you chose this route. I agreed to help you move out, I agreed to allow us to say our final goodbyes, I tried to end things on good terms, yet you insist on remaining obdurate about us." He paused, pressing his lips together as he watched Kagami quickly wipe away her tears.
