blue means you

“Happy birthday, Lance,” she whispered and for the first time in fucking years, it really was a happy one.

“Blue.” I smiled dreamily, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She is so…everything. Does she know how everything she is?

“You smell like her,” I murmured. “Then make me smell like you.”

“Happy birthday, Lance,” she whispered and for the first time in fucking years, it really was a happy one.

His betrayal sliced deeper than a knife. He hadn’t fought for us. I felt a cracking in my soul that spoke of the promise we’d made on the stars together. To always fight to be together. He’d broken it. And he’d broken me in the process.

“Did you really buy me the library? This is too much, Blue.” “Nothing is too much for the man who bled for me.”

“Come straight to my office when you return.” “Did I just get detention?” I teased and his gaze glimmered wickedly. “Sometimes I think you miss me being your professor.”

She was the sun embodied and I’d spent so long in the dark, all I wanted was a few moments in its heat. Was that really such a crime?

I painted a grumpy face on it and wrote Orion above it. He glanced over, breaking a smile. “Is that what I look like to you?” “Not quite.” I added angry eyebrows and fangs, turning to grin cheekily at him. He laughed and I smiled satisfactorily.

“I don’t write entries about my day, bitching about my misfortunes and mindlessly writing my crush’s initials in a heart.” I snorted a laugh. “Not even a little heart just for me?” “Alright, just for you,” he said gruffly, and my smile grew.

“You smell like her,” I murmured. “Then make me smell like you.”

Because this girl was everything good in the world I’d been missing and I had to know what it felt like to drown in her. Even if it meant my downfall. Even if I corrupted her to her core.

“Blue.” I smiled dreamily, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She is so…everything. Does she know how everything she is?

I was determined for this love to be my one and only. My last and everlasting.

“No… you care Lance Orion.” He held his heart like I’d mortally wounded him, stumbling back a step and my laughter grew. “Don’t insult me.”

“Then stop looking at me like that.” “Then stop looking back, Lance.”
