💔 - A heartbreak

“I just…I don’t understand.”

Gray examined the woman’s profile, searching for something - anything - resembling the spark that would once ignite each time they shared each others’ company.

“At least look at me,” he pleaded, “Please.”

Ultear tore her solemn gaze away from the window and directed it at him. Dark obsidian collided with dewy blue as their eyes met. 

She opened her mouth to respond, “Look, it was fun while it lasted, kid. But, let’s not make this a bigger deal than it has to be.”

He stared at her in disbelief. Sure, maybe there were things in their relationship that could use work; but, with a little time and effort, those things could be fixed.

“I don’t understand how you can say that. I mean, I know I’ve been a little down with everything that’s been going on lately,, but how could things have gotten this bad?”

“‘A little down?’ The calm, cool, collected guy I met is long gone, replaced by the self-pitying shell of a man.You’ve been a damn mess, Gray - and I’m not in the business of cleaning up other peoples’ messes.” Her words were coated with a thick layer of frustration - outright anger, even. How long had she been concealing these feelings, and how had he not taken notice?

Swallowing the lump that had crawled into his throat at her callous words, he carefully formed a response, “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize how bad things had gotten. It’s just, before you, I’d never had someone that I trusted enough to let close. You know I have problems with -”

“Your problems aren’t my problems,” she snapped, cutting him off mid-sentence. He flinched at the sharpness of her words, and what they meant. She didn’t care. He had bared his soul to her over the course of this past year, and she didn’t care.

Steeling his gaze, he forced himself back into his usual detached persona. “Yeah, you’re right.” He shouldn’t be surprised. He had pushed everyone away for as long as he could remember. This is what he got for breaking that habit. 

Ultear left her gaze on him, examining the sudden change in his personality. 

“Well, you’d better get going, then. Wouldn’t want to put a damper on your day.” His words were devoid of feeling, as he challenged her with his stare. 

She looked away from him and responded with a slow shake of her head, “Goodbye, Gray.” She ran a hand softly down his shoulder, before turning to leave.

As she shut the door behind her, he could have sworn he caught the glimmer of a tear falling down her cheek.

This is my gift for the @graytear-exchange. I took a long time to actually get my shit together and finish it so I’m sorry that I’m getting it to you so last minute, but here it is, finally. I really hope you like it @areshihai!

This is what I imagined a meeting between Gray and old Ultear would be like. I drew some moments (and a person) that connect them together in the background. 

Under the cut is the unedited version (with no speech bubbles (everything else was done by hand)).
