✧･ﾟ ━ @227heart ; [ MISTLETOE ]

MEME // ACCEPTING.

IT WAS THAT TIME AGAIN ! THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR ! —Or at least that’s what most would refer to it as. For him it was much more GLOOM RIDDEN. It was only but a HARSH reminder of his lack of childhood & positive parental figures in his life.

All The lights upon every building , the cheer of those around , those Yule-tide carols that so ANNOYINGLY chimed throughout the town, Strangers FOOLISHLY acting like children . . . It all made his stomach turn in BITTERNESS.

However he did have a couple things he could be grateful for, one: the SNOW; That graced the streets,reminding ALL of it’s BEAUTY. Though unfortunately with snow did came the COLD ; But— the second thing he could be grateful for was HER— The sun in his winter & luckily they had each other to keep WARM whilst they strolled side one other, leaving him with just another POOR excuse to remain CLOSE to her.     

 Yet amounst all this holiday commotion – & the ENVY bedeviling his HEART , He’s watching her, admiring how flakes of snow danced upon her hair complementing her chestnut strands beautifully & how her whole face would LIGHTEN at sight of even the simplest of decorations. . . It’s like she was a little kid in her favorite toy shop.The corners of his mouth twitch ,as if he’s trying NOT to SMILE. She ALMOST made him wish to partake in all the fatuous events.

He shoves his hands into his pockets & forces himself to break his stare away from her, before he becomes too OBVIOUS.  

   What was he doing ? It’s the season to spend with your LOVED one. . . & here he is with her & her with him. If not for their DEAL , He know’s he probably wouldn’t be here. Them to be seen out & about was nothing but substance for their next headline to keep relevant, a fact he still STRUGGLED to remember when walking this RECKLESS path with her.

 He’s SHAKEN from his thoughts by the others sudden change of expression & He raises a curious brow. 

❝ Huh ? Why are you smiling like that Gloria ? ❞   He follows her gaze that suggest where to look & BEHOLD an old  traditional  MISTLETOE , hanging. . . DIRECTLY— above them. G R E A T ; this is precisely what he DIDN’T need.

❝ You gotta be KIDDING me….❞  He utters under his breath, nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

 Well—This  was rather the TREACHEROUS  situation to be in. & So it begins; the choking of his words.

❝  Gloria. . . ❞  

the flushing of his cheeks. ( He CAN’T  )

❝  I– ❞ 

The intense POUNDING of his HEART —-& DAMN, Those big PLEADING doe eyes of hers are making this WAY harder then it needed to be.   

❝  Listen–………I-I…. ❞

His eyes flutter shut. He’s trying to PROTEST however his body seems to have different plans as it silently moves on it’s own accord, drawing closer to her . He really shouldn’t. . . He swallows the lump nestled in the back of his throat. But with her here so close to him makes it HARD to fight these feelings he’d been holding back all night ,especially when it already feels so tough to breathe.   

No,no,no,no it would be just a kiss right ? Just A kiss all for the sake of looking like GALARS HAPPIEST COUPLE that’s all it ever would be . . . right… ? Yeah. . . Then they could LAUGH together about it LATER, like they do with just about EVERYTHING else.

   He’s now CLOSE enough just NOT to TOUCH. the WARMTH of her breath brushes against his skin,  erupting a shiver down his spine . He  pauses before proceeding , for a small moment. He’s LOST at how to start thus he kicks it off firstly with a trailing thumb against her chin. Swiftly he moves closing the little space between, finally pressing his lips to her soft ones.

  It is NOT a SMOOTH occurrence ,   it’s AWKWARD , he’s clearly an amateur; clumsy clashing of noses, sloppy slip of lips , not knowing when or if to breathe…It was honestly a DISASTER  & he was UNDOUBTEDLY gonna hear about it from her— but for what it lacked in technique could ALMOST be redeemed by the PASSION behind it. 

 He GENTLY untangles his lips from hers,LINGERING closely while he finds his breathe A hand flies to grip his coat collar rising it to cover his face—- WOW , THAT JUST HAPPENED. After the beating of his HEART steadys, he finally speaks, in a hushed tone.

❝ Happy holidays Gloria. . . ❞

He clears his throat , quickly changing the subject.

✧･ﾟ ━ @227heart:  “Please stop, like I would ever like Bede!!! Haha are you crazy?!” She’s probably talking to someone and he’s over hearing her convo hehe

HE DID IT ! ! ! HE FINALLY DID IT ! ! !

All those days that felt like YEARS ON END , the BRUTALLY RUTHLESS training , the SLEEPLESS nights & the none stop sensation of utter EXHAUSTION , AT LAST paid off in his favor ! He had FINALLY been officially bestowed the title of Balloneas gym leader ! ! ! —& the first thing that would cross his mind along with this news was —-HER , GLORIA .

For the first time in his life he had someone to share news with —& knowing her she would likely be just as—- if not more EXCITED about it than him. A swift muted chuckle flees from lungs , He couldn’t help but chuckle over the fact. His tired feet carry him as quickly as he could to her , BUSTING open the doors to halls of where she resides in , following the sound of her voice echoing through the halls. His feet halting once the tune of an UNKNOWN voice rings. He leans against a nearby wall just peaking around the corner were they stood not wishing to interrupt & then Her words fall upon him , HITTING him with a JARRING FORCE , his excitement EVAPORATING with it .

H E L L O HEARTACHE .

Lips roll into a flat line.

He can feel that BITTER taste of life returning ; BURNING the tip of his tongue. His hands TIGHTLY grip the cloth of his coat at his sides .

DAMMIT ! ! !

— Teeth stabbed into his bottom lip . HUMILIATED he has Allowed for someone to once again make A FOOL of him .

He was so DAMN STUPID To think that this might be something beyond their QUACK of a RELATIONSHIP .

HIS BAD , really . . . He should’ve know she’d bring him HEARTACHE , PEOPLE ALWAYS DO .

He removes his back from the wall & he attempts to walk pass her as if he hadn’t noticed her ; head down , hands Clenched together.

✧･ﾟ ━ @227heart​ :  [ 📲 • sms ] —— can’t wait to see you xoxo

MEME // ACCEPTING.

HIS PHONE BUZZES in his pocket , skin TINGLING from the vibrations, DEMANDING his attention.

Now he’d never been one who was EAGER to check his phone at every beep , typically he’d IGNORE IT & get back to it later , if he REMEMBERED — or more like if he even CARED too . . . But He already knew it was a CERTAIN SOMEONE & this CERTAIN SOMEONE would NEVER let him hear the END of it if he were NOT to reply within the hour , UNDOUBTEDLY. resulting in her BLOWING UP His phone. He sighs in PROTEST as he takes it out of his pocket however a SMILE DARES to PLAY at the corner of his lips CONTRADICTING the previous sound.

VIOLET eyes scan the messaged — & there’s a PARTICULAR part that sticks out.

‘ XOXO ‘

BLOOD presses to the skin of his cheeks , painting them RED.

He FLINGS his device ( refusing to gaze upon it any longer ) his pillow being it’s helipad. He throws himself down into his desk chair , & He allows his phone to lay there for a good set of minutes ; staring at it intently from across the way , drumming his fingers along the wood of his desk.

Just what was she PLAYING at with that MESSAGE ?

HEAT rises within his visage , chewing over the text . He WONDERS if she TRULY knew what she was doing or if she was HONESTLY just that IGNORANT.

A GROAN of FRUSTRATION rumbles in the back of his throat upon lifting himself from his seat.

He was probably OVERTHINKING it.

He retrieves his phone & replies.

✧･ﾟ ━ @227heart :"W-why are you being so nice to me?"

TRUTH BE TOLD he has come to enjoy playing the role he had been given & It had started to slightly PANIC him cause that means He had Allowed himself to become far too Lax in this little scheme of theirs & Before he knew it , he was paying the GREATEST PRICE for his CARELESSNESS , his HEART. So NATURALLY when one is the OBJECT OF ONES AFFECTION , being KINDER to them than others tended to became second nature.

TRUTHFULLY he hadn’t even noticed he’d been treating her any differently.

Could he really be FAULTED though ? Gloria was the kind of person anyone would get LOST in— or at least that’s what he would tell himself.

However his AFFECTION was NOT his to give to her nor was hers for him ; for hers was already placed ELSEWHERE as she previously stated , thus he shall SHOVE his EMOTIONS DOWN into the DEEPEST parts of his being , Remaining hidden behind his walls.

He crosses his arms & leans in towards her , their noses just barely NOT touching.

❝ YOU’RE the one who asked ME to PLAY along in this whole

FAÇADE are you not ? ❞

Perhaps leaning in wasn’t the most PARAMOUNT of ideas , being that CLOSE was NOT helping his case , especially since The lines between REALITY & FANTASY were staring to BLUR as he had come to better understand the FOREIGN SENSATION in his CHEST after their last KERFUFFLE —& so daily he now must REMIND himself AGAIN & AGAIN; No matter how much those BIG BROWN EYES of hers seemed to SPARKLE when their eyes would meet or how he could swear the SUN itself RADIATED off the smiles she would flash him , That it was all infact just an ACT, she was simply putting on a SHOW , those honeyed gestures weren’t TRULY for him, they were for their AUDIENCE . . . —& what a GOOD ACTRESS she was.

NO MATTER . . . He could not AFFORD such DISTRACTIONS anyhow if he was gonna reach the PINNACLE of FAIRY TYPES.

He retreats backwards , before the pink tint staining his cheeks becomes apparent, waving his hand in a DISMISSIVE manner.

✧･ﾟ ━ @227heart​ :   [ 📲 • sms ] —— are you mad at me?

MEME // NOT-ACCEPTING.

YES

[  sms  →  Gloria 🌻 aka Sunshine hick 🤠  ]  —— ‘ No. ‘  <  sent  ]

He didn’t even want to reply — & yet . . . he does. Even now he couldn’t bare to leave her to the TORTURE of silence with one’s thoughts.

[  sms  →  Gloria 🌻 aka Sunshine hick 🤠  ]  —— ‘ Just What REASON would I have to even be MAD at you ? ‘  <  sent  ]

Maybe the fact she , even though UNINTENTIONALLY — broke his HEART ?

[  sms  →  Gloria 🌻 aka Sunshine hick 🤠  ]  —— ‘ I’ll see you tomorrow for that dreadful interview. ‘  <  sent  ]

Pretending was starting to get HARDER.

@227heart asked:

Gloria has come to bother good friendo kyohei

"gloria!!!” he’s beaming with a bright smile as his laughter fills the air.  “hi-hiii ~” 

he’ll always make time for her! she’s never ever a bother to him. in fact, usually he’s always trying to come up with some sort of mischievous plan or prank with her. nothing too malicious though! ( no, kyohei would never! ) and usually it is all in good natured fun. 

❝ Wanna go grab some ice-cream? ❞
