❝ no, not anymore. ❞ he tells her , though they both know it is a lie. he has thought of her, many times, since the last time they spoke. she was not someone he could ever love , and yet here he was, still attached in some form. and yet here she was, still asking. if she never truly cared about him, why was she here? and why did he care? regulus lets out a sigh. ❝ you need to just .. go. ❞
Outwardly, Pansy was never the type to fall for anyone. She was too busy with her studies and she was just never the one to be tied down, at least not for long. However, she and Regulus had managed to maintain their... relationship for a couple of years until they finally broke it off. The truth was never stated as to why, but it never exactly sat right with Pansy. That is, at least outwardly. She played it off like it was no big deal to anyone who asked about her and the rebellious Black.
She had actually begun to care about him, and deeper still she formed an attachment to him like she had none other. So when she had approached him at dinner before they were to go home for the summer she decided to lay everything on the line. Her pride, her reputation -- her HEART. And his words stung more than she would ever let him know they did.
While she couldn't form the words to respond to him, there was pain in her emerald eyes that she had never felt before. "You're a liar." She finally managed to spit out, though the words were as weak as her voice. Head shook and she reached out and grasped his arm, but gently.
"No. Not until you tell me the truth, Regulus Black."
@quietvs gets a continue from pansy !
