So Close, Yet So Far... (One-Sided!Dalim Tweedle X Reader)
Written by: Missing-Nins
----------
The bar was unusually quiet. Much too quiet to his liking. Dalim was at the bar counter as usual as he absentmindedly clean the glass in his hand with a piece of cloth while watching the scene before his eyes unfold. His regular customer, _____, was visiting his bar again, yet she wasn't sitting in front of him at the counter like she would always do.
Her flirty antics was still there, flourishing without missing a beat, but it wasn't directed at him. Her smile which would always brighten up his day was instead stirring this weird sensation inside him. The tightening in his chest, the strange tinge of jealousy, and the yearning he has for her. Countless emotions coursed through him the longer he watched on.
That hand on her head, gently patting her, oh so affectionately . Only if that hand belonged to him instead of the man with two-tone hair sitting beside her much too close for his liking. And did he just kissed her just now---
Oh how he never felt such feelings before. Not for any other girls he chatted with, played along with. His relationship with them would always be superficial as he avoided an intimate one. He knew well how dangerous he is and being involved with him couldn't guarantee anyone their safety. But with her . With _____. He can't help but want her near. She was just an arm's reach away... snuggled up close in another man's arm.
"So close, yet so far..." Dalim mumbled to himself as he continued to clean the already-way-too-cleaned-glass while watching the pair.
