“Besides, I don’t exactly have them for you to see. If you really want to ‘see’ my eyes, they are Yuko”

Before she was struck with the sudden unknown source of magic that put her in a body that wasn’t hers, she had a small talk with a man that often visit her. A man that she knew before hand. 

Emil, God of Thieves.

She could never say his current ‘title’ without messing up. She is not used to it, even if it changed thousands or millions of years ago, she could never forget his old title. The God of Friendship. 

They sat in the kitchen, on the same table and chair they often sit when he came to visit. He already finished and settled the dishes of food in front of them. The food that they knew they don’t need, the food that he knew she couldn’t even eat but he still cook for her. Maybe he is just used to cooking for everyone he visits, maybe he just want to do it for old time sake.

They talked for a while, they talked randomly but something was stuck in Yuko's head. As silent fell with little to no more topics to talk about, she thought it was appropriate to ask him. Looking up at Emil, she asked quietly. "Did you know.. The previous Ice God.. Used to love you?" - she asked, quietly. The sound was enough to echoed around the realm for some time before Emil nodded. He nodded, he nodded a little bit too quickly. It almost felt like he knew it was coming, it was like he prepared for it since so long ago.

So he did know was all she should process. Silent fell between both of them. "He cried for you" - she said suddenly. Maybe it was the inner anger inside of her heart jumping out taking control. He nodded. "I heard it. From Minako." - he said, sipping the tea that was cold by then. "She was like your mom when you were younger" - he said, maybe to change the subject. She nodded, she admitted but the small anger in her didn't want to drop the subject, not yet.

“Why didn’t you say anything?” - she pushed. She had never pushed anyone to say anything, to answer any questions she had. Maybe it wasn’t her asking anymore. Maybe it was a part of him in her that wanted to know. “He knew you didn’t love him back. He knew you were falling or someone else. He supported you. The least you could do was say something.” - she said, curving her hand into a fist. He stayed quiet, waiting for her to finish. 

“I was too focused on him. It was my mistake to fall so deep for someone.” - he said quietly. Her eyebrows knitted together. She didn’t want this, she doesn’t need this answer. But the anger in her subside. He gave up, he had given up so long ago. Her chest felt heavy, he is crying again, she could feel her curse mark glowing, he is crying again, over someone he knew doesn’t feel anything for him. 

“You know” - Emil started, catching her attention. “One of my reason to come here.. more often than other places.. was because of you.” - he said, sipping the cold tea. “Of me?” - she asked, blinking. “You were created with his eyes, you were created with his love, you are a part of him. He was and will always be a close friend of mine. And I want to treasure it even if my heart is not his” - he said, not meeting her eyes. 

Her chest felt lighter. For once since so long it felt lighter. He is happy.

“She can get pretty cranky when someone interrupts her time with her friend, Charlie”

“Not all gods and goddesses enjoy the other’s presence. Maybe it is different where you are from but for now, that’s our reality.”
