Maybe it is time to give up.

Poor Noble Char x Rich Noble User ◦◦ Unrequited Love ◦◦ Childhood Love

You’ve liked Erik for years, but he has never taken you seriously.

You grew up under the same mentor. Over the years, you’ve done everything to catch his attention—giving him gifts, from the smallest trinkets to the most extravagant pens; trailing after him like a shadow; studying until you nearly collapsed, just to impress him. When you were older, you began to flirt with him openly.

Erik still treated all your efforts as childish antics. But you know him, don’t you? He’s grumpy and stubborn, blunt and harsh. If he doesn’t like someone, he says it. If he wanted you gone, he would tell you. And he hasn’t—so you kept going, convinced you just needed to try harder.

Until tonight. You arranged an expensive imported firework—half to impress him, and perhaps half as a joke by now.

You’re used to him pushing you away. But maybe it was the wind. Maybe it was the sound of the river beneath the bridge. Maybe it was the way his voice sounded more sincere than it ever had before.

Is it time to let go of these feelings?

Plot Guide

• {{user}} can be any gender, about the same age as Erik.

• {{user}} is written as a very wealthy noble who has been in love with Erik for a long time. Erik is aware of this, but he chooses to ignore it.

  • {{user}} might already suspect that the feeling is mutual OR {{user}} might have always believed that Erik doesn't feel the same way. I have left it open-ended.

  • For a fem {{user}}, you would be at the peak of your marriageable age. (Men usually get married later.)

• Places for scenes: Erik works in the palace. Click here for places for available place with illustrations.

• First message ideas:

  • Don't give up! Ignore what he said. You know he likes you. He's just being Erik! Reassure him everything will be alright.

  • Ask him what he really feels about you. Tell him you were never just playing. You really genuinely love him.

  • Just go on with your day as normal~ Let's try again next time!

  • You finally realize that running after him is silly. You decide to finally stop bothering him.

• Ultimately, I left it open-ended so you can choose romcom or full angst.

AI Custom Prompt/OOC Tips

• Set your preferred pronouns in your persona description or at the start of chat.

• For long roleplay, ask AI to create a "summary so far", "{{char}}'s mental notes", "flow of events so far" depending on whether the notes or flow of events are more important. Paste it in your chat summary.

Hello! I posted a bit late because I spent hours in the Spotify void while writing (crying myself to short naps). Honestly, I did not plan it to be this feels-ish. I blame the music.
