~ on hiatus ~

Current Event: Attack On The 80’s (still open)

I kinda miss being on here and writing stories and interacting with you all. I open the app maybe a few times a year and it makes me so sad because Tumblr kickstarted my love for writing after a decade of hiatus and now I’m writing a whole ass novel. My blog deserves better honestly. I also blame the fact that most of my writing on here was anime based and I haven’t watched anime in maybe ??? A year and a half now? Two years? I honestly don’t know 😭 I’m contemplating just archiving this and starting fresh with a new blog that I can write more on. Not sure yet. All of this to say hi and I miss you all 💓

Like a coward, he watched from behind a wall as y/n stood there, looking as physically broken as he felt. The truth was, he would’ve happily spent an eternity just waiting for them but like the pathetic man he was, he took their habit of being late and welded it into a sword and plunged it in their heart, a broken man’s way of ending things without being upfront and honest but it was better this way. Y/n deserved better than the darkness that was his life. In a way, a cruel way, this was a favour.

Despite all of that, it took everything inside of him not to run after y/n and beg for forgiveness and apologize for his inability to trust anyone and communicate and hold them close, never letting go.

He saw them leave something on the bench and waited till they stiffly walked away before approaching the bench and picking up the item, which turned out to be a small pouch. He opened it up and looked at the contents. Tea leaves? He sniffed them and his eyes went wide at the scent he’s been chasing for months. How? How were they able to find something he’s been looking for all this time?

He gripped the pouch and then stuffed it in his pocket before walking away, footsteps heavy as if the world knew he was heading in the wrong direction. He needed to chase after them but he couldn’t. How could he? He just shattered their entire world like it was nothing

The sun set and he continued walking until it was pitch black outside. Until the people outside returned to their homes and locked their doors and blew out their candles, he continued walking.

Gosh, you were running late. You were supposed to meet with Levi at noon but the surprise you’ve been working so hard to get for him didn’t arrive until just now. You tap your pocket for reassurance, making sure the pouch is still there. You had a pretty good excuse for your tardiness but none of that would matter to Levi. He’s always on time. Always. You feel slightly out of breath as you maneuver around pedestrians on the sidewalk, apologizing to people you bump shoulders with.

You finally make it to the tea shop and you see him sitting by the window, looking at his wrist with disdain written all over his face. You hurriedly approach the window and tap the glass to get his attention. Levi looks up at you and shakes his head. He gets up from the table and meets you outside.

“It’s an hour past noon. I have things to do now.”

“I know.” You pant. “I really didn’t mean to be late—”

Levi cuts you off with a scoff. “This always happens. I just can’t do this anymore.”

“Okay? We can just reschedule-”

“No.” He runs his hands through his hair. “I mean this” He gestured between you and him.

It’s as if everything around you comes to a standstill. “What?”

“I can’t be with someone who is always chronically late for everything.” He adjusts his collar and looks off to the side. “I’ve spent too much of my time waiting.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” you ask, mind still reeling with the words that were leaving his mouth.

“It means I’ll see you around.” Without a single glance at you he walks away, taking your entire heart with him.

You’re not sure how long you stand on that sidewalk but it feels like ages. You pull the pouch of tea from your pocket. This is why you were late. He’s been trying to collect this particular leaf blend but he’s been too busy to do so. Your plan was to take one thing off the mountain that is currently over his shoulders but for what? At the cost of your relationship? You walk to the bench on the sidewalk and leave the pouch of tea on there.
