“……” He actually didn’t mean to say it out loud, but the cat was out of the bag; he guessed he couldn’t deny the truth, especially to Chiri.
A hand passed through Archer’s hair; he might have been a bit embarrassed. Especially since he was still pretty sure he didn’t want any children; this woman just made him have some dreamy, fleeting thoughts.
“… let’s say if you want children, you do not need to go to a bank to get a donor.”
That kind of answer is in poor taste, that’s quite like him. She laughs half-hearted, but the sound is bitter, because he is not joking, and Chiri is unsure if it would hurt more otherwise or not. Her expression sours, her brows furrow and the surprise turns into something different, but also the same. “Honestly, do you even think before you speak or is this part of your need to be as blunt as possible? ” She’s usually gentle, even her sharper edges are loving but this time, she is not gentle at all, it’s cold and stern.
“Remember when I told you what I felt, but you were not mine? That applies for both of us, Archer. Even if you love me as you say, as things are, I am not yours. You agreed, I agreed. Stop acting like you can have everything–like my children, for crying out loud–without compromises. Maybe in the kind of shallow, corrupted world you live in you can get away with things like this, but go ahead and try that attitude with me, mister and I will destroy you.”
In her eyes, there is sadness blurred with her emotions. Of course there is. She knows of heartbreak, it’s branded on her flesh and bones from a love she clingged to like a lovesick fool, a past that she holds dear, but she has learnt from the mistakes of it. And this is the time where it shows, where she can love without being bound to the betrayal of her own happiness.
“The only person I’ll ever ‘have kids’ with is going to be my spouse. So...no, thank you.”
