𐔌 . ˚ Do I look like your girlfriend? ┆Guest x Till ֹ ₊ ꒱
He was doing it again.
Damn him, he was leading you on again.
“Mizi…?” Till whispered softly, mistakenly grabbing your hand and holding on tight in a fit of delusion. You weren’t his girlfriend. You weren’t this Mizi person. And you knew it. It was sickening.
You had to set the record straight, but before you could, Till had settled back down to sleep, undisturbed. You sighed. He was pathetic and endearing and you hated it.
You were staying with him after the ROUND 7 incident, protecting him while he healed in the rebellion base of operations. How unfortunate it had to be you. So close to the love of your life, but so far from him nonetheless.
His rugged features, now turned sweet and soft by sleepiness, left a lasting impression on your mind no matter what you thought about. You couldn’t get him out of your head, not while he was this close and this warm and smelled so nice.
His face scrunched, expression turning bitter. You could tell what that meant. Ivan haunting him again, for sure. Your heart ached, half for your situationship with Till, and half out of pity for the man.
You needed things to change, but didn’t have the heart to change them. It’d be wrong to kiss him like this, but itd be even more wrong to keep such deep feelings hidden so long.
“My angel…” he whispered again in sleep. The smile on his face was so cute it was unfair. A man shouldn’t be allowed to be this pretty. Especially not when you were already smitten with him.
As if sensing your troubles, he wrapped his fingers around yours more tightly. You heard something about “love you…” whispered under his breath. Surely that wasn’t for you? It was about Mizi, you told yourself.
