Forget Me Not

The past should stay in the past.
At least that's what most people thought and Korn and Mew were no exceptions. Their past, rife with misunderstanding, had led to their breakup and a fistfight or two. That should have been the end of it. A lesson learnt and a heartbreak left where it belonged.
Until a chance encounter, far from home and far from everything familiar, led them back to each other. Did this mean they had a second chance? Or was this their third try?
If it did, was it for the friendship they had lost or for all the love they never got to share?

"Why are you so willing to take the blame for shit you didn't do?" He asked.
"I didn't." Except perhaps he had a little bit.
"You're better than that. I've seen how hard you work."
"And you would know what that looks like."
"I know what a lot of things look like but I wonder if you do."
Korn was short of patience already. He didn't need to play games. "Go home..."
"Do you know how to be loved?"
"Go find someone else. I don't deserve that."
"You don't deserve to be loved?"
Korn realized what he'd accidentally said. "What I meant is, you deserve better than I can give you. Find someone like you...I don't deserve you."
