26. My muse watches yours marry someone else, and hides their tears because they love yours enough to let them be happy.
((Sure! Do you play Lavi?)
Now that I think
about it, whenever we were together, he would look at me with a little bit of
sadness. At first when I asked what’s wrong, he said it was nothing and asked
to not be bothered by it. But this sadness never faded. And I didn’t dare to
ask again. I believed that if he wanted to talk about it, he will. That sadness…
it wasn’t all he hid in his eyes. Was it also… Concern? Yes, but that’s not it…
There was… Something…I looked
into Her eyes. She noticed it and smiled back. Ah, her eyes sparkled.
They’ve always been like this. Thanks
to them, I knew how she loved me. It was all in her eyes. Thanks to those
beautiful eyes, which always looked at me full of concern and love…My eyes
narrowed.Wait… This…
Spark? Was it always love? Right, when she told me her feelings and asked me
out, her eyes were glittering because of this spark. That’s how I knew she
loved me.So… Why…
Now…“Allen, you idiotic..!”
Shit.
I said it
out loud.
Allen jumped slightly, and looked up at Lavi in confusion. He had been controlling his expression, hadn’t he? Or maybe he was so wrapped up in his own self-pity, he had missed a cue that he had been supposed to act on? He looked around, but everyone else who had heard Lavi speak seemed as confused as he was.
‘What?’ he mouthed at Lavi, confused at what prompted the outburst.
