☽♛☾

you were running. trying to forget the pain that ran through your veins while it pumped through your entire body. tears filled your eyes die to the cold wind, but you ran anyway.

there was far worse pain in the world, this wasn't even a fraction of it.

you come to a stop as you knock on the door of the familiar household and take a step back. you pull your black jacket tighter around your body and rub your hands together.

the door opens revealing ethan with a bowl of cereal in his hands. "y/n?" he looks puzzled for a second before he notices your state. "oh, um, come in! you're freezing!" he opens the door wider and places his cereal on the small table next to the door.

"thanks," you shiver.

"come here," he grabs your cold hand and leads you to his fireplace in the living room. you immediately smile at the sudden warmness as it envelops you.

ethan sits next to you. "what are you doing here? isn't the wedding today?" he shakes his head. "oh gods, y/n. you're not having cold feet are you?"

you shrug. "come on," ethan groans. he picks you up and begins to walk you to the door. he takes his keys from the counter and put som his shoes.

"w-what are you doing?"

"im taking you to your fiancé. you're going to get married to him, and you're going to be happy. okay?"

you notice the sudden change of tone in his voice. "what about your happiness?"

he doesn't meet your eyes. instead he looks down at your feet. "why should it matter? i'll be okay. i always am."

"don't you get it ethan? im here because of you! because i still love you! don't you get that? i even ran here for you when it's below twenty degrees outside!"

he shakes his head. "no, no you don't. you love your fiancé."

you scoffed. "how can you tell me who i love?"

he stays silent while his eyes meet yours.

"you. you're the one i always wanted. but it's obvious that maybe you don't feel the same," your voice cracked.

you begin to walk away but ethan grabs your elbow and brings you into his chest. "i've always loved you. always have, always will," he stares into your eyes before he leans in and meshes your lips together.

he grabs onto your waist while you grab at the hair at the make of his neck. feeling his warm lips against yours made you feel fireworks erupting from your skin.

you've never felt a connection like this before.

he pulls away first, locking his eyes with yours. "don't marry him."

you smile and kiss him once more. "im not. he doesn't make me as happy as you do."
