love to hate you

prompt: love to hate you

SK8. tadaai, set toward the end of the first season. I’ve been wanting to write from this POV for a while and now I’ve done it!

You asked once what happened during the years you were away. As if the change was due to someone else. As if the Pacific can baptize. As if belated regret means anything.

You, my darling, are a burning piece of wood, a crying child. A betrayal.

Dog is too good a title, but it offends you so I keep it. I let you touch me so I can tell you to stop. I let you near so you can comprehend the expanse between us.

You whisper love you, love you but cling to something empty. There’s nothing behind the mask.
