I wrote about my fav doomed sapphics <33
This is only a little bit I'm not done (I don't think I ever will be o(╥﹏╥)
This is from step 1.5 by the way
"You haven't been practicing?!" Cerrus suppresses a flinch as Khione yells. They knew better than to react by now.
"I thought- I was leaving. I thought that was over," *They murmur, placating. "Khione, you know-"
"This was our dream, Ceres! And you gave up that easy?" A slimy feeling coils in stomach like a disease. Right, Khione didn't know. "I would never- even after you left I didn't dare stop. I didn't dare take a break. Even if we'd never meet again, on the off chance-" Khione was getting worked up now, tears welling up in pale red eyes. A colour like raspberries.
"... I can't believe you'd give up on me." Khione frustratedly wipes the tears away. She looked distraught, but Cerrus knew better. Tears meant Khione was pissed.
Still, Cerrus couldn't help the guilt filling them. Were they weak? They couldn't bare to look at the ice after they left Khione. It wasn't the same, it never be the same. They thought they'd never see her again. And now here she was, storming back into their life like a whirlwind. "Khione... I understand your anger, but-"
"You don't understand my anger!" Khione shouts, grabbing their collar and pushing them back. They flinch in unison, like Khione herself can't believe she did that. They let go of them just as quickly. "If you did, you'd know that I've never wanted anything more than you, and us, and..." She deflated, trailing off. Khione has always been fiery and righteous and headstrong. This is an odd look for her, like her image has been distorted in a fun house mirror. Cerrus doesn't like his at all.
Despite Khione's words, Cerrus really does understand. They got complacent, got scared. Cerrus can't help but be a coward.
They're both silent for a moment before Cerrus steps forward. Their arms wrap around Khione and it's so familiar. It's I'm sorry I'm not enough and it's you deserve so much better and it's why do I keep hurting you?
It's I love you.
