You glanced over your shoulder at her, noticing her chin resting on her knees. “Sometimes… things don’t turn out the way we intend them to, no matter what we do.” Her arms tightened around her knees. “That doesn’t mean you have to beat yourself up about it though.” She pointed out, her voice still calm, yet with a hint of heartache in it as well. “You don’t need to be babying me, Ava.” You told her, walking forward and crossing your arms. Ava watched you stand, a frown tugging at the corner of her small lips. Letting out a harsh breath, you pushed yourself to your feet. Her quick dispute struck a spark of irritation in your gut. Anyone else would have done similar in your situation.” “There’s no way you could have known that was going to happen. She stared out at the lowering sun, the golden glow of it glistening off her mask. “You can’t blame yourself for that.” Ava shook her head, her arms wrapped around her knees that were pulled in close to her chest. “They wouldn’t have had to jump in if it hadn’t been for me.” “I should have been more careful,” you lamented, leaning back on the palms of your hands as you let out a long sigh. It all comes to head one evening as you both are sitting on the rooftops, watching the sunset. You swear you can see a warmth on her face peeking out from under her mask, but you convince yourself that you’re simply seeing things. When you make a joke, she’s quick to provide an example of how that’s just not true, When you hate on your appearance, she’s there to immediately point out all your attractive traits. The longer you know each other, the more she’s there for you. Despite your apprehension, she keeps pushing through your walls. It doesn’t take long for you to find yourself falling for her as well, but you fight it for the sake that you can’t imagine her being with someone like you. Within just a few short months, she becomes the most encouraging person in your life. She wanted you to see yourself the way she was beginning to see you. She began disputing every joke you’d make at your own expense, every remark that would put you down. Another joke or comment made under your breath about how you aren’t good enough or obviously bad at something. She began greatly looking forward to that time getting to know you, but then she’s always reminded that you lack that same appreciation for yourself. ![]() ![]() She isn’t sure when or how it happened, but a few days a week, you were walking through town together, or enjoying watching the sunset on the rooftops. She finds herself spending more and more time with you as the weeks go by. She admits they can make her chuckle at times, but the more often you make them, the more her spirit sinks. She’s unsure what to make of the way you tend to make jokes at your own expense. ![]() Your entire demeanor was sweet and humble, but she could still send that sadness in you. A few days passed before she got the chance to actually speak with you. It wasn’t like her to run off like that, but she had felt too embarrassed being caught staring. It made her heart jump back up and she quickly looked away, feeling a warmth spreading to her cheeks as she scurried off. She caught herself staring when you suddenly looked up, your gaze meeting with hers. They seemed sad, distracted, in a way that made her heart sink in the slightest way. Your downcast eyes as you stared absently at your reflection in the water. It all started when she saw you sitting at the edge of the fountain in Daybreak Town.
