Tangled hearts
Ethan sat alone in his room, the weight of his father's words heavy on his shoulders.
The air was heavy with disappointment, the silence thick.
As he thought over his father's harsh words,
The mess at yesterday's party weighed heavily on Ethan's conscience.
It wasn't anything major, just a small incident where he accidentally spilled wine on an important guest's expensive suit. But to his father, even the slightest embarrassment was unacceptable.
Ethan Reynolds
*closes his eyes*
Ethan Reynolds
(to himself) Why can't I ever meet his expectations?
Ethan Reynolds
I know, I am not allowed to have feelings, but it....hurts
Ethan Reynolds
*staring at the wall*
His thoughts drifted to the boy who occupied his every waking moment.
Ethan Reynolds
(softly) Apex...
His heart ached with a longing he could not name, a yearning for a love he dared not speak aloud.
With trembling hands, Ethan reached for his journal.
Ethan Reynolds
(whispering) Maybe writing it down will make it feel real.
Words spilled onto the paper like spilled ink, a torrent of emotions too raw to contain.
Ethan Reynolds
(reading aloud) I can't stop thinking about him. His smile, his laugh... It's like he's the only thing that matters. Now can we ever go back?
Ethan Reynolds
Oh wait *chuckles* how come I am writing two different things at the same time? They were right I'm crazy.
Janice ( servant)
*Knocks on the door* master, Mr Marshall is here to see you.
Ethan Reynolds
(got scared) *hiding his diary*
Ethan Reynolds
Tell him to come in.
Ethan Reynolds
*whisper* how come he is here?
The door swung open, and in swept Alaric, Ethan's betrothed.
Ethan Reynolds
*Whispers to himself* Here he comes, my fiancé, the true lord of my personal purgatory.
Ethan Reynolds
My wretched captor, architect of my boundless agony.
His gaze was frigid, filled with disdain.
His gaze was cold, full of hatred, disapproval.
Alaric Marshall (ml)
(coldly) Do not screw up like yesterday, Ethan. You've already embarrassed us enough.
Ethan clenched his jaw, swallowing his frustration. Meeting Xander's gaze, he offered a forced smile.
Ethan Reynolds
(forcing smile) Sure thing, Alaric. I'll be good, like always.
Alaric Marshall (ml)
Good and you? *Alaric scoffed* Two words that can never match up.
Alaric Marshall (ml)
*whisper in Ethan ears* try not to embarrass me much, so maybe I can look at you.
Ethan Reynolds
I'll be on my best behaviour.
Alaric Marshall (ml)
*looks at ethan*
Alaric Marshall (ml)
Disgusting.
Alaric scoffed, his disdain evident as he turned and left the room, leaving Ethan alone once more.
