Married ╾ L
I made the mistake of Thinking.
There are some parts that don't seem very L-ish to me, perhaps because of the perspective I wrote from.
Angst.
 ★━━─・‥…━━━☆
It was only a little thing.
Lost between the aisle and vows, the rows of empty seats that weren't really rows or seats because does a tree really fall if nobody needs it for timber?, it was only a little thing.
L cut the cake and he gave the first slice to you. It tasted like frosting and unevenly cooked chocolate batter. It was delicious.
L took you home. You failed to consummate. Can you fail, if you don't try? It was only a little thing, of no matter. You were tired. You cuddled instead. Both start with C. Interchangeable. You had a husband. You only had to hold him close.
One year later – just under – and it was winter on the other side of the globe. Summer where you sat, winter where L crouched. It was cold in a big bed alone, but what's to be expected married to a workaholic and you only needed a little thing, that voice call every other week.
Very soon, he returned.
Everything was perfect. It WAS perfect, what a little thing, that capitalisation, but how it changes the meaning. L returned, and because he did, everything was naturally perfect. Meant to be perfect, because you were meant to be. L held you close for a minute. Your husband. You only had to hold him.
Yellow. That was the colour of the cushions you bought together. Yellow. L's favourite colour wasn't yellow. Considering the shade and pattern, it wasn't yours either. But they brightened up the place. Brightened up the mood.
Only at night did the colour sap out with the warmth, dark blue through the house. Dark blue between the two bodies on the bed. Space.
Until death do us part. It's only a little thing. A promise, we will part.
Four more months and four more days. Kisses on the cheek when cooking dinner. Trying to be closer. He scooped you up in his arms one day and took you dancing around the kitchen, held your hand.
Only for a night.
Random, wasn't it? How we met? you asked. Random, wasn't it? How we fell in love?
Everything that seems random, seems chaotic, has pattern and reason when viewed in a big enough frame, he answered, and went back to his ramen. No magic. Only a little thing, that bit of wonder in life. L, do you see the magic? is what you ask, hand left hovering above the paper towels. But L, do you understand me? Do you sympathise? is what you mean.
Verfremdungseffekt, he tells you with a grin, and just laughs when you don't understand.
Even the prosperous inevitably decay said your grandma, sic transit gloria mundi if you had asked L, all that's fair must fade said the writer. Same phrase different words. Same words different phrase?
Regardless, the autumn leaves always begin colourful, dancing in the dusty wedding photos on the mantle, but they fade by the end of the season. Outside the brown leaves crunch, die, are ready for white snow to hide away the misery. A little thing, a leaf. How little in the breeze. It falls off the tree to die. It's only a little thing.
Awake all night. Usually that was L's job but tonight it was yours. Look at his face. His body, curled up in defence. His face, the tightness in his expression even in sleep. Look. How closed off he was. You reached out and brushed his hair. He turned his head away.
No matter. You turned your head away and stared out the window. No magic. No yellow cushions to brighten it up. A cold chill, L's skin, the thin blankets and the air. Winter. Winter where you sat. L was as far away as the summertime. Spring was fair. Autumn was bitter. Winter was dead. Summer had hope. Perhaps you ought have been married in summer. But it was still autumn, the last day, so very close.
Dull. But you had a husband, and you held him close for a night. He gave you the cake. A little thing. Danced with you. But there was dark blue space. A little thing again. Verfremdungseffekt. L, you say and he doesn't stir, L, do you hear me?
Air void of an answer. It was cold. L's skin was cold. There were warm clothes in the cupboard. There were warm cafés in the nighttime. What music was out there tonight?
December. Winter.
A little thing.
You left.

Unloving you
I never fell out of love. I never thought of you differently. Our memories still remain in my mind, And I don't despise you for leaving me. I never fell out of love. But I've accepted the fact that you're gone. I know our relationship has ended, And I know for a fact that I've moved on. I never fell out of love. For my love was both genuine and true. Pure, innocent, love cannot be removed. But what's removed are my feelings for you. I never fell out of love. But I've moved on and I've healed since you left. I can't say I've unloved you, cause I didn't, But the fact that you're gone, I just accepted.

I can't bring myself to love you anymore after all of this. Meaningless apologies, half-hearted texts and late replies. I can't love you like this; picking myself apart and sacrificing my sleep for someone who doesn't even know me. I wish I could stay here, pretend we were okay like we were when you still loved me and caring didn't kill. Like we were when we weren't so different people. Are we strangers now? I don't think you ever knew me. I don't think I know who you are. All I know is, I don't think I know how to love you anymore.
–you're killing me, love

falling in love with:
bakugou katsuki
contains: angst, fluff
now playing: je te laisserai des mots by patrick waston
Tumblr media
falling in love with bakugou is snarkiness, pushed roses in your face and a tch
falling in love with bakugou is a stuffy dinner date, a walk in the park after
falling in love with bakugou is playful arguments in the hall, and harsh teasing
falling in love with bakugou is annoying meet the parents, realizing where bakugou anger came from
falling in love with bakugou is getting used to intense teasing and somewhat harsh comments
being in love with katsuki is mall dates, him spoiling you
being in love with katsuki is food being shoved under your nose when time seems to whisk you away, with a growl telling you to eat
being in love with katsuki is him glaring at anyone who looks at you wrong, hand tightening in yours
being in love with katsuki hangouts lasting long into the night, a show on tv and cuddling under the blanklet
being in love with katsuki is… easy, then it’s not
being in love with katsuki is distant as time wears on
being in love with katsuki is energy being spent on a falling relationship
being in love with katsuki is worrying on the couch after midnight, waiting for him
being in love with katsuki is waking up in the morning by yourself, where katsuki would once be in the kitchen with food only silence greets you
being in love with katsuki is a shared home being a home for one
being in love with katsuki is not easy, not at all
falling out of love with katsuki is your items slowly disappearing from the place
falling out of love with katsuki is staying at friends houses as you cry on their couch
falling out of love with katsuki is hard, full of tears
falling out of love with bakugou is an argument turning into a breakup
being in love with bakugou was being in love with stranger, two strangers living in the same house

To let you go
Is to lose you
But to lose you
Is to save myself
I need to believe
I’m worth saving

No one ever talks about breakups where you feel everything to nothing at all and there is this pressure to feel sad but the reality is that the love was so long gone that by the time heartbreak came around, you no longer care if their hands touch somebody else, or feel jealously or question if they are happy without you. Let alone feel empty now that they are gone.
But the absolute worst part is that that makes you question if all those years meant nothing at all. And it's the way it doesn't hurt when you wish it did, that breaks you.

He doesn't love me anymore, she mourned, and she became filled with a gut-wrenching terror. For she had grown to depend on his love, and she was firmly convinced that without it she would vaporize, and nothing would be left of her at all.

I don't read our old texts anymore.
I am not tempted to request you on Instagram.
I unfollowed you for a reason.
You are no longer the muse of my poetry.
My soul is no longer intertwined with yours.
I made it out and I'm so happy.
There are days that I miss you, days where I despise you, and days when you never cross my mind
but most of all
I don't look for you anymore.
We are strangers and that's how it needs to be.

why does it hurt so horribly when you're falling out of love
where I used to feel so much I could hardly stand it I now just feel empty and hollow
I guess we both didn't make enough of an effort and thelate night driving just got to expensive, swimming in the sea under the stars was too impractical, we had to get up early after all

"Where did it all go wrong? We loved each other, so what was the problem?", she asked so desperately trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
"Well, sometimes love isn't always enough on its own. You need understanding, maturity, communication to keep the flame of love going, but I guess ours was put out too soon.", he said swallowing the lump in his throat.
"So I guess this is it then, huh?", she asked as a few tears betrayed her and ran down her cheek.
"I think so", he mumbled looking at her with the most pained expression she'd ever seen, "But even though I wish things could be different, I just want you to know how glad I am that you were a part of my life and thank you for being there for me."
She looked at him with a sad smile, "I'm glad too, really fucking glad."

The worst thing in a relationship is falling out of love and still pretending to be together.
