Unrequited: Solomon x Reader
Summary: Solomon canāt 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 thatās this with Lauries first failed proposal. Some things are also skipped over with the movie scene to fit this better)
Jesus I didnāt realize how short this was, it seemed a lot longer when writing it, anyways enjoy

You and Solomon had gotten back from shopping, whilst unloading the groceries into the kitchen you could feel Solomons eyes on you.
āTake a picture it lasts longer.ā 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.
āSorry.ā He says in amusement, scratching the back of his neck
āAnyways, whatāre youāre plans for the rest of your day?ā 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.
āWhat is it? You look like youāre about to burst.ā You laughed, always loving the chances to poke fun at him
āI have something I need to admit.ā He said firmly, turning around to face your back
āWhat? Finally get that pact with Lucifer?ā 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
āNo.ā You simply say, walking out of the kitchen in a rush
āItās no use, please just hear me out.ā He quickly caught up to you stepping in front of you while a hand clenched the fabric of his shirt over his heart
āI have loved you ever since Iāve known you, I couldnāt help it.ā He pleaded, following you as you continue walking
āIāve always wanted to tell you but you were constantly surrounded by all of them, which is fine. But now weāre alone and I must get an answer cause I can not go on like this any longer!ā For once in his life he sounded desperate, his hand gentle grabbing your arm to stop you from running anymore
āSol, please just stop.ā You begged, knowing the inevitable that lies ahead
āI gave up my scheming, I gave up everything you didnāt like. Itās good, Iām happy I did. And I watched and waited and never complained because I- well I figured you love me.ā 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.
āAnd I realize Iām not this great man-ā
āYou are a great man, youāre too great. And I just- weāre just too different. I mean look at us! And weād fight, we canāt help it even now.ā Your words had cut him deep, your friendly grip on his shoulder to reassure him just hurt more
āYouād hate my pestering and I couldnāt handle your secrets, and weād wish weād never been together.ā You tried to explain to him, trying your best to make him see the problems that would lie ahead
āI love you.ā 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
āI canāt love you like you want me too, Iām sorry.ā
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 Iām 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...ā 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 youā¦.why did he have to fall in love with you? Why couldnāt he have spared himself of this heartache? Cause nowā¦..
ā¦.Now youāve lost him
