Unrequited: Solomon x Reader
Summary: Solomon can’t hold back his feelings any longer, he needs to tell you
(This is basically like when your teacher used to tell you to do something in your own words, yeah that’s this with Lauries first failed proposal. Some things are also skipped over with the movie scene to fit this better)
Jesus I didn’t realize how short this was, it seemed a lot longer when writing it, anyways enjoy
Warning: sad, unrequited love, rejection, slight nightbringer spoilers

You and Solomon had gotten back from shopping, whilst unloading the groceries into the kitchen you could feel Solomons eyes on you.
“Take a picture it lasts longer.” You joked, not looking at him while you get ingredients for supper out
Solomon let out a chuckle, reaching up to put something onto one of the cupboards.
“Sorry.” He says in amusement, scratching the back of his neck
“Anyways, what’re you’re plans for the rest of your day?” You asked, turning to face him whilst leaning on the counter
Solomon was ready to just shut himself away in his study, ready to dive into spell books to take his mind off of how happy you looked with the brothers today.
You had began taking out some things to cook with, turning back away from him while chopping some vegetables.
“What is it? You look like you’re about to burst.” You laughed, always loving the chances to poke fun at him
“I have something I need to admit.” He said firmly, turning around to face your back
“What? Finally get that pact with Lucifer?” you joked, laughing at your own joke as you looked back at him
His serious expression caused your face to fall, in your heart you knew what he was gonna say, the thought made you shake your head while stumbling back a bit
“No.” You simply say, walking out of the kitchen in a rush
“It’s no use, please just hear me out.” He quickly caught up to you stepping in front of you while a hand clenched the fabric of his shirt over his heart
“I have loved you ever since I’ve known you, I couldn’t help it.” He pleaded, following you as you continue walking
“I’ve always wanted to tell you but you were constantly surrounded by all of them, which is fine. But now we’re alone and I must get an answer cause I can not go on like this any longer!” For once in his life he sounded desperate, his hand gentle grabbing your arm to stop you from running anymore
“Sol, please just stop.” You begged, knowing the inevitable that lies ahead
“I gave up my scheming, I gave up everything you didn’t like. It’s good, I’m happy I did. And I watched and waited and never complained because I- well I figured you love me.” Solomons voice cracked, a hand coming up to wipe his nose while his eyes became red and puffy
You just kept shaking your head, quietly begging him to stop talking before he ends up hurt.
“And I realize I’m not this great man-“
“You are a great man, you’re too great. And I just- we’re just too different. I mean look at us! And we’d fight, we can’t help it even now.” Your words had cut him deep, your friendly grip on his shoulder to reassure him just hurt more
“You’d hate my pestering and I couldn’t handle your secrets, and we’d wish we’d never been together.” You tried to explain to him, trying your best to make him see the problems that would lie ahead
“I love you.” He repeated over and over again, trying to get the point across
Tears formed in your eyes as you looked down, swallowing the lump in your throat uou finally say it
“I can’t love you like you want me too, I’m sorry.”
Solomon let some tears escape, backing up a bit from you while shaking his head. A realization hitting him.
"It's because of them isn't it?"
"......no, no no. I just, I just think I’m ready for anything right now." You lie under your breath, your heart clenched in your chest like the tight grip of sorrow was slowly bleeding into it
"Yes you are, cause the moment we get back you'll jump into their arms and fight the world to never be apart again...” his voice had gotten so quiet it almost gave you whiplash.
Solomon was longer looking at you, instead his gaze was on the ground while his eyes glossed over like freshly cleaned glass.
You tried to reach out to him at his broken tone but he instead just walked away, the closing of the door was all that was heard as you stood there in silence. Tears beginning to fall down your face the farther and farther he got from you….why did he have to fall in love with you? Why couldn’t he have spared himself of this heartache? Cause now…..
