"I trusted you and you betrayed me." { rip me tbh }
Elliot reached out to Blood, fingers curling in midair as he reached for the bond that was no longer there.
âBoss-- Blood-- No, you know I--â
He could feel his clock stop, the glass on the face shattering with seven simple words. This wasnât supposed to happen. He did everything in his power to do whatever Blood asked. He would do anything if he asked. He trusted Blood with his heart and soul and body and Blood... didnât feel the same anymore.Â
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he pitifully hiccuped. He wasnât supposed to be weak. He was the firm back that Blood could rest against when he was tired and the strong arms that would protect him no matter the cost to himself. He wasnât just Bloodâs bodyguard, he was his friend.Â
His friend who was now breaking apart in front of him.Â
âPlease, Blood, donât-- Donât do this--â The trembles in his hand continued up his arms and into his shoulders, and Elliot couldnât even bear standing anymore. He struggled against the crushing weight of pure, unyielding suffering to stay standing, and ultimately failed. The tears wouldnât stop no matter what he tried, even if he scratched at the sides of his eyes with the rough texture of his scarf. âI wouldnât! You know I wouldnât- wouldnât betray you! Youâre my everything! Without you, Iâm nothing! Please! You-- Youâre the only reason why Iâm still here! I wouldnât betray you!âÂ
His voice, once wavering and quiet, spilled over into frantic screams. âBlood! Please! Iâm begging you! Believe me! I would never betray you! Iâd kill myself before that happened! You have to believe me! I wouldnât-- You know I wouldnât! Because I... I...
âI love you too much to do that!â
