"Never break somebody's heart.

The only have one of them.

But break their bones,

they have 260 of them."

Your POV 

It's been a week. A week since Shu had gone missing. A week since Mexico and Snake Pit. A week since Mei. A week since Free and I... broke up. I closed my eyes in pain as I recalled the pain-filled memory. 

'Free,' I ignored him. 'We're breaking up.'

'What?' The shock in Free's voice was evident. 'Why?'

'You know why,' I said in barely a whisper, now clutching onto the red fabric. I squeezed my eyes shut in dread. 

'Oh,' Free's voice had gone cold now, completely emotionless except bitter, extreme coldness. 'I see. It's because of Shu Kurenai, isn't it?'

I didn't say anything, but I looked down at the muddy grass instead. I could hear Free sigh over the phone. 'You're not going to say anything, are you? Well then you can tell me in person. On the day you get back to BC Sol, 10:30 at night. You know where to meet me.'

Then he hung up and I was left in complete silence until Valt came. 

I sighed heavily. I didn't regret anything since then. I still like Shu. No, I still love him. It just hurt to break somebody's hurt. Free was okay, but...he just wasn't Shu. Shu.

Shu, I thought desperately, gripping onto the corn-blue fabric. Where are you?

I swallowed a lump arising in my windpipe with great difficulty. I clutched the blue sheet even more tightly, drawing it above my chin. My eyes gazed out of the window of my BC Sol dorm, following the stoned path leading into the forest. The old, familiar pines were even taller than before, and the forest seemed even more alluring. But the golden boy that had drawn me into the woods had gone. My eyes zeroed in the night sky, dotted with thousands of twinkling lights, flashing various colours. Several clusters of stars formed well-known constellations, like Aquila and Gemini. The Milky Way was brighter than usual on this cloudy night. However, the moon was still the brightest. Numerous grey craters were dotted across the landscape. The shining orb was hanging high up in the air, the full moon of the month.  The bright glow was shining over everyone. 

I wonder if you're looking at the this moon at this very moment. 

An alarm beeping cut through my thoughts. The sound ricocheted around the tiny dorm. I could hear Sasha and Honey's yawns before their dark figures began to rub their eyes and stir. I breathed heavily, and slipping on my outerwear in a swift move, I quickly exited the room without waking my roomates. 

It was just like the night I had first kissed Free. The hallway lights were still on, and the door to the outside world had been left ajar. A brisk wind had picked up, rustling through the trees of the forest. I shivered slightly and tugged the jacket tightly onto my freezing body. The cold air of the night captured my breath in small puffs of white before evaporating in the air. I checked my phone, the bright glow of the screen illuminating the dark woods for a moment. 

It was 10:28

Two minutes left. 

I picked my way quickly through the forest, jumping over twigs and avoiding mud. There were hardly any movement in the forest, except for the breeze and the occasional flock of bats. No sign of the deer anywhere, though. I didn't stop running through the shoots of pines until I reached the peaceful, serene clearing. 

The moon light was at its peak, shining brighter than ever, reflecting off the smooth stone pillars. A small smile tugged at my lips as I watched the familiar scenery come into view, a place that I felt at home more than at BC Sol. But I didn't come here to admire the view. 

A figure dressed in yellow was crouching towards the stadium, watching his bey intently with his dark, murky eyes that always held no emotion. Drain Fafnir slowly came to a stop, halting at the middle. 

'(y/n).'

'Free,' I cleared my throat. 'I'm here.'

The male finally stood up, tearing his eyes of the golden bey. I wouldn't meet his eyes but I could feel them burning intensely into mine. Pink tinged my cheeks slightly.

'Why did we break up?' asked Free gently. I lifted my head up and slowly connected with his eyes, which glistened with an unknown emotion. Sadness? Shock? 'I thought you were happy.'

'I-I was...' I admitted slowly, the big lump in my windpipe making it difficult to speak. 'You made me so much happier than when I first came to BC Sol.'

'So why?' Free's voice still held no emotion, his dull eyes boring into mine. 'Why did you dump me?'

'You deserve so much more than me.' My voice cracked as I felt the familiar sensation of salty water pricking my eyes, tethering on the edge.

'But I want you.'

'But you have to let go,' I exhaled heavily, my voice heaving with deep emotion. Tears began leaking out of my (e/c) pools, escaping down my cheeks. 'I can't handle this relationship. I don't want to put you in more pain. I broke up with you so it wouldn't get more painful and complicated. You were so good to me. It was heaven, but I...I couldn't return the same love to you.'

The tears were falling rapidly now, each one staining my face. They began dampening the fresh blades of grass, the beginning of a small puddle. My chest was rising and falling as the pain and despair was slowly lifting off my chest. Pain was extremely evident on face. Free stood their silently, still impossible impassive. 

'Why.'

Free's voice didn't sound like it was asking a question, but more like it was a demanding an answer. I lowered my face in shame and (e/c) hues found their way to the floor as strands of (h/c) tumbled down. 

'I couldn't return the love when I still loved someone else,' I whispered, my voice shaking. 'The truth was, maybe I did know it then, but I ignored that. I was single. He surely had moved on. But my heart hadn't. I-I dated you only to get me over my loss. To me, you were just a rebound guy.  I know I sound selfish but...it's the truth. And after my trip to Mexico, I realized I still love Shu Kurenai.'

My gaze somehow found their way to the murky ones that were still concentrating on me. 

'Shu Kurenai.' The unknown emotion glinted in Free's eyes. 'He was in Raging Bulls. I battled him. He was weak. How could you like someone who constantly loses?'

'He isn't weak!' I shouted, anger and rage taking over for a moment. 'And it doesn't matter if he is a good blader or not, I like him for being him! I thought you could cope with this, b-but...I thought wrong.'

I wiped my eyes for the final time before turning and running away, back into the dark woods. I halted when a strong hand gripped my hand from the back, stopping me in an aggressive way. I looked straight at his dark eyes. 'Let. Me. Go.'

'I won't,' he growled, his presence changing almost instantly. An unnatural golden yellow glowed around him and his eyes weren't that dull anymore. It was a peculiar shade of brownish-yellow, glowing even more than his aura. 'You thought I could cope this. Of course you were wrong. How can somebody not be heartbroken when the love of their life dumps them for somebody else? Somebody who's weak?' His voice cracked. 'I-I love you, (y/n) (l/n).'

I could feel the oh-so familiar tears spring up again, threatening to fall any second as my breathing pattern turned irregular. I leaned towards his stony face which, for the first time, held emotion. 

'If you love me,' I whispered softly. 'Let me go.'

His grip on my arm faltered, and I ran away from the scene without glancing back. 

I just wished I could do that to all my problems.
