ENJOY 🫶

Ending?

Showing her his true form hurt.

He hid it so well these past few months, but ofc she won't like him anymore after seeing his horns and wings.

The look on her face is almost unbearable, and raphael only manages a scoff to overplay his feelings even though his mind is racing in finding some rocky words to throw at her he just couldn't find the right ones.

Her eyes water and she puts her hand on his cheek forcing him to look at her.

"I'm sorry"

She hiccups and fat tears roll down her beautiful face.

Confusion is written over his face.

"I'm so sorry for not being safe enough for you to show me your true self what a horrible partner I am"

Her tears roll down her cheeks, staining her perfect red and gold blouse, which she got from her lover.

And for a second raphael is taken aback by reflex he takes her hand and squeezes it.

"No!" He dramatically yells as he feels like he doesn't deserve this sympathy from somebody so pure and honest, "I dont need your pity..." his voice breaks.

He wants to teach her a lesson, how dare a mere mortal have pity on him, but something beneath his consciousness wants her to stay with him and not leave him how he anticipated.

So he guids his other hand to cup her cheek and forces himself to look deep in her eyes as if not looking in her eyes would betray her.

"You have to be angry," he slowly loses his strength in his legs and kneels in front of her, "you have to curse me and and" he's completely lost since he's never experienced this kind of helplessness in his entire life.

Whenever Raphael wanted something, he'd get it. Whenever he guessed or predicted something, he'd be right, but in this moment, he's helpless and so confused.

His own feelings betray him as his eyes tear up, which is so ridiculous to him that since he's a creature of fire, he shouldn't be able to cry and especially not because of his feelings.

But as she gently wraps her arms around him, he can't help but cling at her, and even though his body temperature is too hot for her human body, she holds onto him just as tight.

Both now crying in each other's arms completely overwhelmed with their own emotions, not wanting to let go of each other.
