Your P.O.V:

Despair held you tightly in his arms as you looked out the limited view of your window.

Ever since the two of you had done things he hadn't bothered leaving and you never urged him to.

Though, you knew that your future meeting with William was inevitable and bound to happen at some point.

To be honest, you weren't looking forward to his return because your feelings were a puzzle. One minute its finished, the next the pieces are all mixed together.

"Ugh, my head is killing me.." Despair groaned in discomfort, leaning his head against the wall beside the headboard of your bed.

"Do you need some aspirin or something? I can go get some.." You questioned him, innocently looking into his eyes.

His lips parted as if he was going to say something, but then returned to their closed state as if he had taken back whatever he was going to say.

"Nah, its fine. I probably just need some water or something."

"Uh.. ok. I'll go get you something. Be right back," You complied, wiggling out of his grasp to go retrieve a beverage.

Really, what Despair said was a lie. The reason why his head was in such a turbulent state was because he was losing his control over William's body. He was trying his best to retrieve his body, but Despair wasn't giving it up that easily.

William was angry.  After all, Despair had taken what he loved most. You. If he ever did get his body back, Despair wouldn't be back in control for a long time.

You returned shortly with the drink Despair requested, only to have it dropped on the floor with a loud crash.

Despair's fingers barely managed to hold the glass, thus allowing it to fall.

"Oh my god, are you okay..?!" You asked him frantically as you cradled his idly weak body.

"F-fine, I just-"

"Stop the stupid act, Despair. I can only help you if you tell me what's wrong.."  You snapped, moving the both of you from the broken glass scattered across the floor.

He sighed, knowing that something would lead up to this. After all, he knew his queen very well, and she wasn't very weak-willed when it came to finding things out.

"I swear its just a headache."

"Headaches don't make people act this way, Despair."

"You're really persistent, y'know?"

"And you're also an idiot. Now tell me whats up."

"I'm just wiped out..that's all. It takes a lot out of me to please you.." He said with a smirk, sitting up and straightening his posture.

You blushed at his response, shoving his idle body onto the edge of your bed.

"D-don't you have somewhere to be? I mean you've been here for almost a week without leaving."

"Are you saying you want me to leave? Remember the last time you did that?" He questioned with a sarcastic grin.

"Shut up. And I don't want you to leave, but.. I kind of need you to. I have things I need to iron out with William.." You spoke nervously.

"What, you think the little twerp is mad cause I fucked you? Let him have his little tantrum. It makes me feel better that I won. "

"Despair, this is serious. You have to understand that I'm choosing between the both of you.. I don't wanna hurt either of you so-"

"You do choose me, right?" He interrupted, casting his intimidating gaze onto you.

"Uh-"

"Right?"

There he goes again. It was that side of Despair that frightened you. The side in which his eyes reminded you more of blood instead of rose petals and his demeanor didn't calm you but rather gave you shivers.

"You know I can't say that right now, Despair."

"Why not? You said you loved me. I said I loved you. I meant it. Did you?" His hand moved to grip yours, grasping your fragile fingers.

"Of course I love you, I just.. I love William too..."

He grunted in disapproval as he glared at the ground.

"All this and you still love that nerd. I mean at some point you have to choose. Its either me or him. "

"I know but-"

"I want to know if you're mine or not. I want to be able to hold you in my arms and watch over you like the queen you are. I want you to be the Queen of Despair. "

"I am your Queen of Despair."

"Then prove it to me. Say you choose me over him.." He placed the tips of his fingers on the edge of your chin, causing you to shudder a bit.

"I- I can't.."

Despair slammed his fists down on the floor in annoyance, causing you to jump in fear.

"I think you need to time to get your head together. To know who's really good for you. You have to remember, (Y/n) I've been with you since day 1. William just tagged along for the ride." He remarked, standing up weakly. You attempted to help him up, but you just ended up having your hands pushed away.

"Where are you going?" You asked him, a bit of hurt deep within your tone.

"I have things to take care of with Femt and Aligura.. I'll be back soon. When I do come back, I expect an answer, (Y/n)."

You were left on knees in utter shambles, Despair standing high above you.

"Or what..?"

He ran an impatient hand through his already disgruntled hair, and shifted his weight to the left side of his body.

"You can forget everything I've said to you in these last few days."

Your heart almost stopped in shock, and tears immediately collected in the corners of your eyes.

Your lips parted, but no sound emerged. Even then, Despair began to leave, slamming your front door dramatically.

Basically, you weren't given much to work with. Nothing would work out well if you chose one or the other.

It was tearing you apart inside, knowing you couldn't just love both. Someone was always jealous.

A few tears dribbled just past your eyelids, and you quickly wiped them away.

There was no use crying about it. But you couldn't handle this all on your own either.

You retrieved your backpack from the corner of the room and stood up to leave. There was only one person you could consult for help, one person that might actually understand this situation.

So, it was off to the hospital. It had been a while since you visited Mary.
