💙✉︎———➤ 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐂𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 on the cellular device in front of him, his slender fingers tapping away at the slightly dim lighting of the touch screen, a hand was placed in his ripped jeans the baggy long sleeve of his shirt covered the entrance almost completely, earphones placed neatly in his right ear and occasional insults passed through those soft lips of his.

He took his time keeping up with the other three 'acquaintances' of his, one shifted his laughing ruby red eyes at him then the more quiet one of the bunch, his dazzling smile was lazily glanced at by the short individual while the tallest of the group talked quite loudly about anything he deems important at the moment.

"Can someone remind me again why we're outside..?" His harsh voice penetrated the conversation the two boys were having at the moment, their eyes focused onto his smaller figure with a sly smile tugging the ginger's lips.

"Venti called us about a group meeting with everyone, plus he wanted to introduce us to the group of friends he made..." the ruby eyed boy answered his question with a lopsided smile and a quirked eyebrow with his head turned to face him.

"Kazu, you somehow failed to mention a girl in particular we were supposed to meet days ago..." the ginger head pouted, stopping in his tracks when the familiar cafe came into view. Their destination.

The cafe's logo was aesthetically decorated with cat faces and the beginning and end of its name. To be honest this place must have a huge pile of cats lounging around.. The indigo haired boy raised an eyebrow, his attention now off his phone and now directed to the group's quiet boy who was inches taller than him, Xiao.

"Isn't Venti allergic to cats....?" The boy's golden yellow eyes didn't give much of a reaction, the owner himself only shrugged his shoulders while placing an earbud in his pierced ear scrolling online to find a song he wanted to listen to at the moment.

The grumpy teenager rolled his eyes and gave an exasperated sigh now shoving his hands in his pockets upon hearing a familiar Bard running up to them, his lips parted and a loud greeting escaped his mouth, his voice box was put in its use.

"HI GUYSSS!!!"

A hand frantically waved towards the four boys direction with the other placed tightly on his berate that matched his white and green aesthetic quite nicely. With a smile Kazuha opened his arms and accepted the hug the feminine looking boy tackled him with, jumping excitedly up and down in his arms.

"It's been a while! Ello Chile, Xiao off your phone for a minute-! OH! Hi pookie~" in turn Venti gave each boy his own way of greeting them, nudging, poking or side hugging them as he saw fit plus the nicknames were always necessary.

Having a short chat with the group, the boy had his slightly annoyed gaze focused elsewhere, eyes purple iris glanced at each of the members who walked leisurely in toward them, he spotted a few he was familiar with, Keaya who was annoying the hell out of Tighnari, Cyno who looked like he was close to blowing a fuse, Xingqui who was in a heated argument with Gorou and last not not least Yoimiya chattering away with...a dark skin girl..

His eyes stopped glancing at the others' interactions and focused on the girl who smiled and laughed with Yoimiya, their hands entwined with each other swaying back and forth for him to just scoff at. Her eyes pried off of the talkative young lady and glanced at the group where Venti stood, she parted her glossy lips to call out to the charming boy.

"Venti! Are you not going to introduce me..?" Now close and currently standing in front of the five boys, she propped her free hand on her waist, raising an eyebrow at the unfamiliar people with a curious smile on her face, those brown nomad eyes of hers curving upwards as if it was smiling at them too.

"Oh, right, Chile, Kazu and Scara this is ALAYAH JIOVANNI, Lay-lay, meet Chile with his various of personalities, Kazuha who is basically the mom of the group and the two cat like persons in the back is Xiao and SCARAMOUCHE."  Venti did very well gesturing towards the four charming boys to the young lady while introducing them to a girl they deem gorgeous without even trying to be 'pretty'.

Folding his arms, he watched as the others chattered away, catching up with each other even though they bother literally everyone in the group chat they made two years ago religiously, his eyes could only lingerie for long, he couldn't stand their faces for more than fifteen minutes but somehow her voice made him look a bit longer.

The contagious smile she presented could rival the setting sun that casted perfect rays of its light onto her dark skin, her nomad eyes only curved upwards and closed when a giggle or laugh that came out of those plump glossy lips of hers, he noticed a star stud in her right ear while a soft jingle of the long decorated earring in her left grabbed his attention.

He watched as her baggy sleeved arms hanged over Venti's shoulders, with her black tube top not doing its job well in hiding but elevated her cleavage more as the denim blue, high waist baggy jeans (with stars on them) complemented the black uggs she decided to wear today.

He had to admit to himself, she was attractive a little too attractive, a warm sensation built up by the back of his neck towards his ears as his eyes locked with hers, she tilted her head while removing a strand of her butterfly locs away from her curled lashes giving the shy boy a cheeky smile and a wave to his direction.

💔🥀———➤A TABLE SET FOR TWO, essential forks and spoons lay neatly at the side of their plates, food pre ordered and ready for eating, glass cups sat their untouched without any liquid substance circling in them, chairs pushed in in their respective places, the cake hidden away from his site until that special person arrives. He was ready, ready to bless her with an outstanding performance on this special day.

Someone's birthday was today. Her birthday. His lover's birthday was today, the twenty-fifth of May, the day she was born into this world, the day he would apologize to her. He made a few mistakes, a few misunderstandings brought the couple into arguments that didn't need to happen, but since he was stubborn he didn't want to pay attention, until he found out for himself that it was indeed a misunderstanding he felt crushed.

He knew she felt worse than him, one year into this relationship, one year of love, laughter, bickering and yelling. Today all he wanted to do was bless her, make her smile like he did in the beginning of this relationship but unfortunately she was fifteen minutes late. 

He told her where she needed to go, how to get there, what time she was supposed to come for and why she needed to be there, "Why is she taking so long...!?" The college boy was getting increasingly frustrated with his girlfriend, turning on the phone in his hands multiple times just to see how much minutes was being wasted standing there alone by the huge glass windows this expensive restaurant had to offer.

With the slender fingers he possessed he dialed the person who was responsible for picking her up, his feet tapped the floor repeatedly, his eyes focused on the night sky, a hand placed in his pants pocket.

The receiver answered, you could hear his smiling voice from the end of the call as he gave him a straight answer, "Scara, like I said before, she isn't here yet."

"Then where the fuck is she..!?" his voice raised his eyes sliding towards the phone he held by his ear, his gaze wasn't friendly, it was cold and electrifying to stare at but increasingly beautiful.

"Look Scara, i'll text her and see what's up, you know how her family is, they keep her for long hours on her birthday and even if she tries to leave it'll take time before she actually convices-"

"She's still there!?"

"Well yes but-"

"Forget it Venti, I'll get her myself.."

He was livid, fuming as he ended the call before the music lover could speak, he stormed towards the elevator, pressed the button and waited for a few seconds before the familiar ding came to his ears then he stepped in the silver shaft with his signature scowl presented on his face.

 It didn't take him long to find his escort to drive to her family's home, it didn't take him long to trail his electric purple eyes onto her figure, her hands wrapped around another mans back, her head rested on his chest with a satisfied smile on her face, his hands were around her waist rocking their bodies side to side, his face was gentle as he rested his chin on her head minding the decorations in her locs.

Scara paused, his eyes took its time to whidden then it swiftly was filled like a overfilled cup with rage, he wanted nothing more than to punch this man for touching her or even being near her, he wanted to raise his voice and scolded her for engaging with this man he didn't even know outside on the patio of her parents house and that is what exactly he planned to do.

Slamming the door shut he startled the two, Alayah jerked her head off the gentleman's clothed chest, her brown doe eyes snapped open watching as the slightly shorter male made his way up to her. With an eyebrow raised she tilted her head and a soft whisper was caught by the taller male's ears, "Kuni..?"

He yanked her body away from the tall male, his hand holding a firm grip around her wrist as his voice raised like it usually does when he was irritated, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"

"Yo, bro the hell is wrong with you?" Her supposed "lover" called out to the couple making advancements to get her back only for her to wave him off, he paused his bows arched downwards with a frown on his lips, he folded his arms instead and watched, already hating every second that passed by.

Before the girl could even utter a single word he continued bombarding her with questions the grip his his hold tightening as every sentence came out his mouth, his harsh voice stung her ears, her brows furrowed quickly and her doe eyes that once was there where now sharpened as her voice overcasted his with thirteen important words.

"SCARAMOUCHE RADIEN," his voice was non-existent as she breathed in and out, snatching her hand away while using the other to rub her temple, "Could you shut up for a moment and listen to me!?"

Taking another deep breath, she gestured to the tall man who glared in their direction, parting her tinted lips to address this matter for the millionth time, "That man over there is my cousin, he was the relative I spoke to you about, yuh know, the one that was in America that's him, Kwame.."

"Kwame..?"

"Yes Kuni, Kwame.."

"So you're not..cheating on me..?"

"You really think I would Kuni? No, I wasn't..!"

"Why weren't you where I asked you to be.."

"I wasn't there because my mother wanted to have a few words with me and Kwame said he needed a hug before leaving for his flight tomorrow, he only came down here for my birthday.."

"So you couldn't tell him no..?"

"Scaramouche, quit it."

"No i want to know why you couldn't just tell-"

"Scaramouche."

".....fine, I'm listening."

"Hop in the car, we'll talk inside.."

As the AC circulated the chilly air through the car, it increased the tense atmosphere that the couple radiated at the moment, their driver was excused out of the vehicle and is now experiencing a few stares from the young lady's family members. The poor man was feeling uncomfortable from where he stood but nonetheless he stayed to give the two their time to have a proper conversation.

There was only silence for a while, Alayah kept her hands on her lap, she took a deep breath and spoke first, her voice low and calm enough for the individual to give her a slight glance whilst persing his lip. This is not what he wanted.

"Scara...i know you may not like this decision but i...i think this is what's best for us, okay..?'' She turned to him, her eyes back to its doe appearance but it was as if it was filled with sorrow, he couldn't look at her. He only focused his attention to her voice but he wouldn't dare to look at what he caused.

"I think, the both of us need, a break..? You have not been trusting me as much anymore to go out and come back home, your faith in me when it comes to men i talk to or men that talk to me is dying Scara..." she tilted her head slowly to the left, the hands that were on her lap were now placed onto the cool space in the middle of the both of them, her face only showed how hurt she felt as her voice wheavered slightly.

The boy was speechless but her only response was heavy breathing from him. The one thing he wanted to do was make her happy on her nineteenth birthday and now, with widened eyes and balled fists, that is not what he wanted to hear from her. If that wasn't bad enough the feeling of hot tears escaping from his gorgeous purple ish blue eyes sliding down his face only tormented him more by hitting the fabric of his pants.

He Hated This Feeling...
