❛ i still love you. that’s the odd thing. ❜ — kantou.m mikey 2 coconut!!!
then why continue this? there’s nothing waiting for you at the end if you continue.
perhaps a few years ago, she would have asked, yet she could tell that asking now would have resulted in this rare opportunity to slip away. her eyes scanned his face before a quiet sigh passed her lips. miel had always spoken of how life was no better than a coin toss; god was evil like that. it was selfish of her to think that he could just stop this path when he only had his grandfather left. coconut could sympathize with him in this regard. if she lost miel just as he lost shinichiro, emma, izana… perhaps she would become the same as him.
it was this that kept her from turning away from him. she never could turn away, he was always someone who held the attention of a room. from when they were children to now, her eyes always stayed on his whenever possible. she swore to herself that he would always be something she held close to her heart. mikey was a treasure to her, the time they spent something that also added color to her life.
❝ i still love you too, i promised i always will. ❞
these days, she could only say it in a hushed tone, no louder than if she were at a funeral. coconut knew she wasn’t like takemichi. he would have been able to say something strong in that moment, he would have been able to sound stronger in that moment. all coconut could do was wipe the tears from her face, attempting to look better than in the sorry state she did now.
❝ it— i wouldn’t say it’s.... ❞
it wasn’t odd to love someone even as you are now. you’re still human.
she lost her wording, not sure if she would sound even more pathetic if she were honest.
