“It’s okay. I stopped being angry or upset about it a long time ago.” But the kiss on your cheek still feels like it lingers after she leaves it there. You look over at her and smile. “I eventually sorta understood that I was too lowblood for you. I get that. I wouldn’t have been able to give you all that a highblood or someone of your rank’d be able to. And I don’t mean, like, material things, though yeah that’s a part of it. …You know what I mean, right?”
Yes, in fact, he was too low on the hemospectrum for your standards, but you never really expected it, anyways. Hadn’t you made it clear? Oh, gosh, you’re tearing up again. This was stupid. It was so stupid. You didn’t want to think about it. You just wanted to forget it.
“Stop, please… Don’t say anymore.” You place a hand on the back of his head, pulling him close enough to put your forehead to his. You close your eyes in an attempt to keep anymore tears from spilling over. “don’t talk about it. Please.”

“Noo, you seriously liking someone?” You joke with him, but the idea does seem rather far off from the Delsul you knew. Had that much changed in that short amount of time? You can’t imagine it. He’d been the same for the longest amount of time.
Then again, so had you. Maybe it wasn’t so far fetched. “Next you’ll be telling me you liked me, huh?”
You hesitate before you respond. “…I did.” You don’t see a point in lying. “I… I don’t really know how seriously, but I did like you. A while back. But you always shot me down, so… I kind of gave up.” You look away. “…I know that’s probably not something you want to hear right now.”
Your joking charade falls. What? Delsul was actually INTERESTED in you? You’d of shot him down anyways, had you known, but the fact that he was here. Right now. He was comforting you about your failed redrom after you had completely brushed him off.
You hadn’t even been a friend to him.
“… I’m sorry.” You whisper, planting a soft kiss on his cheek. “I really had no clue.”

You crack a small smile, finding a lot of comfort in his gesture. You shakily remove a hand from his back, clasping it around the back of Delsul’s hand so you can rest your cheek in his palm. “Heh.. Yeah, I remember. I swore I wasn’t going to get so a-attached again, either.” A hiccup breaks into the middle of your sentence.
“Nobody can keep a promise like that,” you say, smiling. “I made the same sort of promise once, and… Ya know.” You brush some of the hair out of her face. “Don’t feel too bad.”
