Kaeya

Throughout his life, he had broken many hearts, and he’d had his own broken a few times too. However nothing could compare to the day when you told him he wasn’t the one, which shattered his heart into a million pieces.

“I’m sorry.. but I don’t feel the same way.”

At the time he’d had laughed it off and smiled, but now that he was alone, the bottled up emotions came flowing out. Feelings of helplessness and sadness enveloped him, as if he was drowning in them. His calm demeanor disappeared, leaving behind an empty shell. Funny how Kaeya once laughed at love. Why dedicate your time to someone else when you could use it elsewhere? He knows better than that now, for what was his point in living if you weren’t there with him?

Xingqiu
The tingling of butterflies in his stomach, the feeling of warmth when you were near, and that dumb smile on his face whenever he saw you. It was nothing compared to the stories he’d read, although, how could real life experiences compare to those created by fiction?

Xingqiu had imagined the moment when he’d confess to you. Many times. He revised it over and over, and he was so sure you liked him back. His plan was flawless- nothing could possibly go wrong, could it?

Leaning back, he looked at the sky. He was naïve. He realized that now. Blind to the harshness of life, and inexperienced. To see you now, your smile, your eyes. He knew they weren’t meant for him, and that they never would.
