❝ his name was rufio ❞

SOMETHING THAT THE Mikaelson family didn't really know about Melody was that she had already had a boyfriend who was her first everything. Rebekah surely didn't know the whole story, so when the two went to the park with Hope in tow, she brought it upon herself to ask, not out of jealousy, but out of curiosity of why the two were no longer together. And she also wanted to know if she had to possibly murder this ex-boyfriend for any reason. Of course, the idea never crossed her mind. . .but that was a lie.

Melody was sitting on a bench next to Rebekah, Hope in her stroller in front of them, sipping her bottle of milk casually as she watched the two. The brunette sighed when she had been asked about her ex, shrugging her shoulders because it wasn't like it was an exciting story anyways. Honestly, it was boring, there wasn't much to it, and the relationship didn't feel right either. The two couldn't seem to click as partners.

"His name was Rufio and before you laugh, yes he is the same lost boy in that movie with Robin Willaims who had the mohawk. Actually, he cut it off because he hated it." The blonde laughed softly. "But we became best friends when he moved to StoryBrooke from Neverland. He is a total flirt, the girls love him, he is handsome, intelligent, and not very passionate. We went to prom together since we're the same age and that's when he gave me my first kiss. After that, we started dating and were for two years. I gave myself to him after I completely trusted him and he was gentle and nice to me." She paused as she shrugged to herself.

"I don't know when I started realizing it. But over time I found out that I didn't actually love him, as he loved me. We were better off as friends and I figured that out, told him how I felt. Rufio was upset, however, he never got angry with me and he accepted my feelings. Then we broke up. Now we're just friends."

Rebekah frowned, not completely understanding why Melody had done what she did. "Was it his personality?"

The fairytale woman shook her head, denying the comment. "Not really. Over the years I've always thought about it. And to be entirely honest I think that it was that he wasn't passionate. He never bought me flowers or wrote little notes. He would compliment me but only when I got all dolled up." She relaxed her shoulders. "I have always wanted someone who would be romantic, willing to do anything for love, give me gifts to brighten my day, compliment me when I doubt myself, and just be there for me."

"We didn't click like that, we were better off as friends. Since then I've been trying to find out who I am." Melody didn't look at Rebekah as she revealed something only Pan and Felix knew about. "I wouldn't say that I don't know my sexuality because I believe I'm starting to figure it out. And so, I consider myself bisexual."

The Original smiled at her, grabbing her hand. "Well no matter what, I'll always support you, you'll always be my best friend, and I will always be here for you. Don't be afraid to talk to me because I'll always listen." She watched as Melody turned her head to look at her, smiling as well, looking undeniably happy with her reply. Then the brunette scooted closer to her and laid her head on her shoulder.

Rebekah was sure that her heart exploded.
