The Flutter Of Your Wings |Butterfly x Reader|

🦋

For the past week, you and the butterfly got along well, you even bought and moved the lovely insect to a bigger container.

Today, you planned on getting your best friend to meet the lovely amber-orange butterfly.

"Who am I meeting?" They asked for the millionth time 

"The love of my life" You shortly answered, smiling widely at your friend

---

You both were standing in front of your bedroom door

"You ready?"

"Just open the door, Reader" Your friend said, impatiently crossing their arms

You nodded at them, reaching out a hand and twisting the doorknob slowly

When you heard a click, you pushed open the door and got in first, gesturing for your friend to come in

Your friend walked in hesitantly and looked around confused, eyebrows furrowed

"Uh, so where's 'the love of your life?" Your friend questioned

You tilted your head at them "Right there!!" You let out happily before pointing at the reformed big rectangular aquarium

Your friend furrowed their eyebrows and slowly walked over to the aquarium

"You mean, this butterfly is 'the love of your life'??" Your friend exclaimed in disbelief

"Yea!"

You walked over beside your friend and reached a finger to caress the glass aquarium lovingly

"Isn't it mesmerizing?" You said, biting your lip gently

Your friend grimaced

"..C'mere" Your friend whispered and pulled you over to the edge of the bed, sitting you down

"What is it?" You questioned, looking up at them

Your friend sighed, putting a hand on your shoulder

"Listen, I don't know how you're attracted to a butterfly, but since I'm your friend, I have to support you no matter what.." Your friend let out,

You just nodded at them, confused about what they were on about

"And as a friend, I have to give you the best advice, so as a friend, I am advising you to let the butterfly go, free it" Your friend said hesitantly, lightly squeezing your shoulder

Your mouth gaped and there was silence between the two of you before you stood up and looked at them with a hurtful look

"Excuse me?!" You shouted, aggressively flipping their hand off your shoulder and standing up

"Are you saying that I should let go of the thing I love?!" You shouted louder, your hand building up into a fist

Your friend raised their hand placatingly

"Calm down-"

"NO, I will not calm down!" You cut them off, slowly walking towards them as they backed away with each step you take forward

"You are literally suggesting for me to forget about my feelings! I haven't felt this way since forever!" You yelled, your breath slightly getting heavy from the screaming

"Reader, listen-" Your friend tried to speak, but you cut them off again

"NO, I WILL NOT! I WILL NOT LISTEN TO A BAD FRIEND!" You screamed louder

It was silently loud again, you were about to yell again when your friend suddenly pushed you away

"I am not a bad friend." Your friend said firmly

You scoffed at them, "If you're implying that you're a good friend, good friends don't advice their friend to break off with the thing they love"

"You don't love the butterfly Reader"

"Yes I do" You said, stepping forward

"You dont" They pressed also stepping forwards

"Why would I not love it-"

"Because If you did love the butterfly, you'd know that it needs freedom, and if you really loved it, you'd let it go because you love it so much you'd give it everything. Yes, you may 'love' it, but you dont love it enough to let it go and make it happy." You friend said, pressing a finger to your chest and pressing harder everytime they said love

You stared deeply into their eyes, and they did too, you both had a staring contest before you pointed to the door

"Get out." You said, biting your lip harshly

Your friend looked shock but returned back to their anger expression

"Are you really not gonna take my advice-" They said looking pissed

"Get out." You repeated, giving them a death glare

They were about to open their mouth but stopped, they sighed heavily before stomping to the door

The door was open and they were half out when they looked back at you "Im a good friend." They said asserted intensely and slammed the door shut

You stared at the door for a long time before falling to the floor and sobbed

"I dont wanna let you go.." You whispered, looking over to the butterfly and curled on the floor
