"Your trauma isn't something to be ashamed of." Cassiel watched Aaliyah speak, the innocence in her eyes piercing through the shadows of his dark soul. '𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞. 𝐈'𝐦 𝐧𝐨 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮,' he thought but never said. He feared his curse and its impact on those he cared for, yet he couldn't bear the thought of losing her. "Even if you're right... there's nothing I can teach you," he replied, avoiding her gaze as an unfamiliar warmth washed over him. "I've forgotten how to live." His voice turned distant again. But then, he felt her small hands gently grasp his chin, guiding his gaze back to hers. "Then we can learn together, silly," she said with a soft laugh, her words wrapping around him like a comforting embrace. In that moment, Cassiel felt himself slipping deeper into the very trap his curse had laid. With love came fear-fear for himself, fear for her. '𝐀𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐡, 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞.' ~ To Be Your Curse A Romantic Tragedy

Dalaric "Ricky" Mikael was known for two things; being the country's best assassin and being a silent brute. His demons enveloped him in darkness and he saw no end of any tunnel. Until a girl, who's weird and wears nothing but a pair of black jeans and t-shirts that are too big for her, called him pretty. "It's not." He shocks me again and my smile gets wider as happiness flushed through me. Seeing him understand why I'm upset is mentally refreshing. The people who hurt me don't understand. Even mama doesn't. I can tell from the new wounds every week. I move forward and hug his slim waist tightly while smushing my face into his very warm chest. His turtleneck is soft under my chin. His hands lay by his side and I use my own to bring them around my waist. Our height difference makes it only a bit harder for him to put his chin on my head. Dalaric remains tense but but holds me tighter when I try to pull away. "This is what friends to, I think. They hug, right?" I ask, tapping my chin in thought. He seems just as lost as me with his blank expression and slight confusion. He tries to pull me back but I shake my head and he glares at me. I boop his nose and grin at his cute glare. Aw.
