Work Text:
you learn this
at a young age,
when no one talks
to you in the hallways,
when no one shakes
your hand,
when mother and father
stop hugging you.
you learn
that she is the
only one
who loves you.
and you
are the only one
who loves her.
but then
he loves her too.
he comes in
with eyes of
stone and frost,
and he loves her too,
and she loves him too,
and she is the only one
who loves you.
you
are alone,
even though
she still loves you.
but you can
survive
the hatred.
you can survive
this world
where touch is necessary
but no one
will touch you.
you can survive a world
where everyone hates you
because they are
afraid of you.
but she can’t.
she can’t survive the hatred.
she gives them
a reason
to hate her.
for two years,
you don’t know
if she is alive
or dead,
or if she
still loves you.
but then
he pulls you aside,
and says that he saw her
and says that she
hurts people.
you
punch him.
you punch the eyes of
stone and frost,
because how dare he stop
loving her?
you bring sharp hatred to your flesh
until you can see
the red vice
that she hated
and loved
so much.
and she
is avoiding you
because you are supposed
to be her enemy
now.
but she is
not your enemy,
she is your
sister.
and even though
she might not
love you anymore,
like everyone else,
she is the only one
that you
love.
