Yeah, so I probably need to stop writing fics about my characters ^^;; Anyways, this one is horribly depressing, and I probably completely screwed up writing Cy, but I gave it my best shot ^^;;
.....“WHAT?” Art paused with his fork halfway to his face, mouth hanging open. A moment ago, things had been perfectly normal - he and Cypress had been sat in one of the fifth floor corridors eating leftovers they’d scavenged from the house elves , as per every Saturday night, and then Cypress had gone and said that.
.....“I like you, okay?” Cypress replied, a lot less tenderly than the first time he’d said it, folding his arms across his chest “Gees Art, way to let a guy down gently.”
.....“No no no no no no no no” Art was almost babbling incoherently as he scrabbled to get away from his friend, pushing himself to his feet “No this is not happening, it can’t be.”
.....“Okay, okay, I get it, you don’t like me back, there’s no need to be such an arse about it”
.....“Like you?” Art laughed as he whirled round, forcing himself to stand his ground rather than go striding right up to Cypress “Cy, I’ve liked you since I was a fourth year” He laughed bitterly as the other boy’s eyes widened. “Yeah, exactly, so don’t talk to me about being let down gently” and he turned to leave again
.....“Wait, what?” He could hear Cy coming after him and stopped. It was time to come clean.
.....“How do you think it felt?” He asked, turning round “How do you think it felt, having you pining way after August all the fucking time, flirting and making out with half the school? You have no fucking idea” He wanted to leave again, get away from what he’d just said, but Cypress’ hand was on his arm.
.....“That’s not fair! You never told me, how the fuck was I supposed to know?”
.....“You weren’t, just- argh, I don’t know!” He shook his arm free, not able to look at Cy any more “I can’t-” He wasn’t sure what it was he couldn’t do. Cope, probably.
.....“Oh stop being such a self righteous prick. Can’t you just swallow your pride for one? Look, I like you, and from what you’ve said I think you like me, I don’t see what the problem is.”
.....“No, Cy, you don’t get to do this, you don’t get to suddenly realise after all this time. It hurts, alright? It really fucking hurts and I cant take being hurt any more. And yeah, I sound like a complete fucking pathetic idiot, but I can’t fucking deal with it, okay? I just can’t.” And with that he walked fast down the corridor before Cypress could stop him
.....“Art! For fucks sake! Where’re you going?”
.....“To kill myself, probably” He yelled back, then ran off as fast as he could before Cy could stop him.
