Midnight always comes for Cinderella

Summary:

Just a poem for yearner Buddy/Nox about wishing time would stop.

Chapter Text

Time is crucial for Cinderella
Because at midnight her fairytale always ends.
As someone who just steps into the books
time is crucial for us as well.
There's the beginning.
The middle.
The climax.
The end.
Their no such thing as happily ever after in fairytales.
I supposed they added that later to soften the stories.
A book ends when it ends.
Happiness was never a guarantee for anyone.
Given how rigid the structure of books are I should have been in the clear, but I kept on stealing moments with Chase.
The moments of us going off script and just chatting in the books.
I kept on thinking of Violet how she wants us to go back to the time I was born in and as much as I want to be human again..
I also want to steal time with Chase.
I want to hold him.
I want to be his hero.
How could I save anyone though..
When I can't even save myself?
I hate begging even though I've done it most my life
Please don't let me undue time.
Please let me freeze time to this moment
This moment where I'm held and in loved
I've never been asked to stay before.
I've never been wanted before.

Please..
Please..
Please.

I'm not Cinderella, but let the midnight never come if it means I can be loved for just a moment longer.
