"what?" you spoke in astonishment.

"i said that-"

"no, no. i know what you said. it just doesn't make any sense. your actions are so stupid, you do realize that, right?"

he looked down and rubbed the back of his neck. "i never said i was innocent, alright? i made mistakes. some i can't even explain, but the love was always there. i swear to you it was."

you ran your hand through your hair and looked at him plainly. "i don't know how to go about this. it's just all so confusing."

"i know. but if you want, we can make this work. or we can start over completely. we can take it day by day. i'll do it for you, y/n."

your heart felt broken. after everything he's ever done towards you, all those emotions couldn't just disappear. you couldn't simply forget everything in the blink of an eye.

"no, eth. im sorry, i can't."

"y/n, please. you're tearing me apart. come on, please. have mercy on my heart." you shook your head no and descended down the porch stairs. "why'd you even come here then? to break me even more?" he chased after you and spun you around by the arm. "i love you, y/n. okay? have mercy on me, would you?"

he leaned in and pressed his forehead against yours. "please please please," he begged you. he began leaning in even more and you could feel his cool breath on your lips. giving in, you closed the distance and he smiled while kissing you back.

"f.uck," you pulled away and wrapped your arms around his neck. "you're lucky i love you, dolan."
