“It’s shitty what you’re doing to me!” Nico stutter a step back, flinching at the anguish in his face. “ You said you’ll give us a thought, said we’ll have forever then you went and kiss him!”
“Al.”
“What does he have that I don’t? What’s so special about him? We’ve both got green eyes and we’re both head over heels for you. Is it cause he’s alive?” He’s panting, glaring , staring, pulling st his hair like the pain might actually bring him relief. He stares at his partner, the boy he loves. Who went to hell for him and told him that they were all each other has.
“Al, please…”
“I can’t do this anymore.” Alabaster whispers yet the words sends Nico flinching as if hit. “I can’t keep waiting for you, hoping that when he dies it will be us again. I can’t…. I just need.”
Alabaster fades through the door and Nico just stands there, watching as Alabaster build a gap between them and letting them slowly tear into a chasm with his every steps away.
“I love you.” Nico confesses to the empty room. He hopes the words would reach the other, knowing somehow, he lost his best friend.
