[align=center][div style="borderwidth; width: 420px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 8.5pt; line-height: 10pt;"]in a world of choking truths and smooth lies, fairytales didn't exist, nor did they happen out of the blue. happiness was a feeling many chased with few succeeding in getting it and holding on to it. ( happiness is fleeting and the constant battle to keep it never dies. ) it was odd how some people kept happiness without having to endlessly running after it. a specific drug that nobody could distribute, inject, or ingest because it was pure and intangible. completely raw and utterly sweet that caused fuzzy feelings and lasting warmth by a simple look. nobody ever taught him what it was like to love another.

( breathtakingly wonderful. )

it was contained with a figure of gorgeous fair skin and pretty blonde hair that glowed in the sun. the physical embodiment of beauty itself before him amongst the bodies of others at the age of fifteen, mystified at the lack of attention of someone who seemed so perfect in a way a young teenager's brain lacked the ability to express. a life of giving drugs to crooked leaders and careless subordinates didn't seem to be as dull anymore when a brighter future could happen.

they called him stupid when they decided to get hitched at eighteen and left the place behind. he knew the life he had didn't magically disappear, nor could he escape it unless he desired see what the afterlife had to offer. but it didn't matter to babe in the least. not when everything he wanted was right before him. the consequences were clear and decided he'd face them when the time came. all that mattered to him was her. she was his whole world by then, brushing off the dust off reality when it tried to settle on him, refusing to give it much thought. no, not when he had everything he needed before him and stubbornly refused to face the painful truths when they appeared. sure, they moved a lot, but it shouldn't prevent them from having a family. an issue that nagged him, but quietly pushed down and kept to himself for the most part. patience was hard to have when he lived with volatile people.

then this... fairytale cracked and shattered into a million pieces in a blink of an eye. confronted and unable to speak the truth and simply stood in silence, taking the stinging pain of faith lost. a pair of pretty green eyes clouding with distrust and hurt while another set of bright green dulled in misery, both seeing the world a little less beautiful on that day. he knew that she could never fully forgive him for the lies and couldn't blame her, no matter how much he wanted to tell her the truth.

( "it's not that i won't, it's that i can't." )

guess it's true that there's no rest for the wicked.

there were few things in the world to offer up some sort of happiness. the fact that they still traveled together was pleasant even if it wasn't the same between them. the fact of her keeping his last name despite everything did bring small moments of joy to his heart, even if he made rationality of it is that he held it for so many years. but the choice to go to her maiden was always, always, open. and the ring— the ring. she kept it when the opportunity to toss it aside and forget revealed itself more times than he could count, but, again, years of being together in a bubble of love didn't disappear overnight... right? thoughts that tickled the back of his mind more often than not and grew weary of them each time they reared their ugly heads. guess there were some things they couldn't figure out together. perhaps in a happier time they could. perhaps.

green eyes involuntarily squint at the gleam of the golden band decorating a slender finger glinting in their direction. babe's own bounced off the thick bundle of clothing he wrapped himself in. the colder climates weren't something he enjoys and would rather go south and soak in the heat. honestly, he would rather get swept away by a hurricane than be stuck in the snow, but he didn't complain out loud. they typically didn't stay too long in one specific area and didn't worry too much about it. besides, last he checked, prairie didn't favor cold locations that much either. lips curl up at the comment and chuckled quietly with a mocking tsk of the tongue at her question. "oh, what was that, princesa? you want to leave after just getting here?" mock shock laced his features. "but i was sure you wanted to come here." he shook his head but held a wide grin. "so this is it, hm?"

/ GUESS WHO'S REALLY FASHIONABLY LATE VBNBFHN like damn, you should have pestered me to death and holler at my procrastinating ass, but it's all good if you rather not ?? homeboy understands if you're upset with him ?
