angst wlw aglaea x reader where reader asked "You're going to leave me again, aren't you?" mid kiss and aglaea kissed her even harder
(I live for angst and THERES NOT ENOUGH AGLAEA ANGST IN TUMBLR SOB)
It seems like both Aglaea and Reader would be self-aware of Amphoreus' cycles 😭Reader would be a lot like Cipher, fearing Aglaea will sacrifice herself and abandon her loved ones.
Or, Reader would be upset that Aglaea needs to lead another meeting or go on another mission, leaving her beloved wife alone at home.
Regardless of what may pull Aglaea away from you, there's always an ache in her heart. In you, she has finally found the meaning of Romance. However, she made a vow as a Chrysos Heir to protect Amphoreus long before she met you. Thus, there's always a conflict between duties within her psyche.
When Aglaea kisses you back, hard, she may start to cry. In fact, these may be the first tears she has shed in centuries. The action nearly seems foreign to her, but each tear is a release of the pent of stress and regret she has carried ever since the fall of her house. It may appear that Fate does not wish for her to be happy and surrounded by the love of others. Indeed, much of Amphoreus distrusts the Goldweaver, with some praying for her downfall.
Are you becoming one of those people? Aglaea holds you close, letting the tears shed as her lip quivers. For the first time since becoming an Heir, her golden threads fail to fully detect her environment. She can barely make out your shape and how you're feeling. You must be ashamed with how easily she is coming apart.
"I-I'm sorry," she whispers as her shoulders hunch.
You reach over and try to wipe a tear from her smooth cheek.
She raises her head slightly. Her makeup is smeared. "I'm so sorry, my love. My mother, Cifera, and now you.... I can't seem to keep the women in my life, no matter how hard I try."
"If you'd like to leave, I understand -"
"No, you're wrong," you blurt, placing two fingers under her chin so her head can raise completely. "I don't want to leave."
"I just need you to use those threads of yours to truly look into my heart," you explain, a bitter, yet sincere tone in your voice. "If only I were an Heir, then I would use my power to help us both."
Your lover's muscles tense at your words. She thinks back to Phainon, who keeps his loved ones in mind during every battle he encounters. She sighs, realizing why he is the Chosen One.
"From now on, my every action will be for Amphoreus," Aglaea states. "But it will be an Amphoreus where you and I shall be bound by the threads of unity. Every day I shall spend will include you. This I swear."
You wipe another tear from her stained cheek.
Please don't copy, steal, or feed my work to AI. Thank you!
Author's Note: I feel bad for Aglaea and Reader. Why is Aglaea's whole story tragic? (っ °Д °;)っ
I purposely left the ending ambiguous because I feel like it's up to the Reader to see if this should get even angstier.... :(
