THE SUN IS RESTING ON THE HORIZON. Fiery hues, wings of the phoenix spread across the sky, marking the end of the day. Deep in your mind, your thoughts had encapsulated you. Few people chatter around you but you pay no attention to them.
The cafe is almost empty.
You sit alone, with your cookie and your drink.
Lonely eyes trail over the people.
They're your eyes.
You're considering it, breaking up.
You don't want it anymore.
The pair of wings that clung to your back were truly broken.
You realised that now.
Plummeting down from the heavens and into the arms of Lawliet, he promised he wouldn't let you go. You remember the vow you. You remember how it had left your lips.
But promises are just words and even the devil can speak.
Love isn't meant for you.
Why don't you run?
Be free from the chains that bind you to him?
Pushing the chair back, you stand up, ready to leave when a familiar hand catches your arm.
Your breath hitches in your throat and you can't breathe.
The hand you used to wrap your own around, the hand you used to bring to your lips, giving light kisses, the hand you used to draw circles on for comfort.
Lawliet says your name.
He had followed you there.
'Yes?' you answer, voice flat.
'Walk with me.'
'Why?'
He opens his mouth to respond but no words leave, his tongue tied in a knot.
Your mind pleads him to say it.
Say those words.
Say you want me and I'll be yours.
'Nevermind,' he manages to say, dropping your arm.
Disappointment came without surprise.
This was the Lawliet you love.
Why don't you stay?
Claim the chains that bind you to him?
