Unrequited
I have this random prompt in my head because I want my heart wrecked. What do you guys think?
“Kyojuro. You’re my best friend.”
“Am I? I am honored to be considered as such! You are a dear friend of mine as well!”
“I’ve always loved you.”
“Ah! And I also care for you deeply! I hold you as close to my heart as I do my brother and father!”
“No, Kyo…I mean, I love you, love you.”
The bandages roll to the floor. He looks at you with blown-wide eyes. Mouth agape.
“You…you must be very tired,” Kyojuro laughs nervously, averting his gaze.
“I am a little…I mean, no. Kyojuro, listen—”
“You should try to relax. You have lost a lot of blood. I will send for a kakushi to better tend to your wounds.”
“Kyojuro—”
“Please.” His smile cracks around the edges.
Your fingers twitch for his hand, but—
The sharp call of your name swims with finality.
“You know that I cannot…love you in the way that you deserve.”
