Limerence.

Its another Friday afternoon, just without Lou. Lou has been on vacation for a few hours now, leaving for the Equator for some business practice, leaving you and Amelia

wasn't so bad, you at least got to spend time with Amelia, even for how much she loves to prod at you about being stronger and larger. It was at least fun, some twister here, other card games here, and sometimes roughhousing within the commuting house. Was a blast with her around.

Though tonight, she has been acting a bit strange, her arms are closed off, and she seems tense.

"Hey... can we talk for a second? Its something thats been on my mind."

Without a second thought, you plop down upon the couch and await her response.

She breathes in audibly, before explaining her thought process, with her twitching hands gripping, lightly tearing the couch armrest fabric

"I just... feel frustrated, i dont know why. I love Lou so so much, but he leaves me alone for too long. I want him, I want him to stop prioritizing his job over my wellbeing, and you always helped out that with me."

She shivers a moment, her tail now wagging dangerously low to the couch, while she pulls herself physically closer, her pointed canid ears slumping onto her head while her face scrunches around her eyes.

"But he's so stubborn on keeping this overworked mess together. He brings me gifts unexpectedly, always cherished his assortment of flowers he brought me, the tea he makes is so smooth, and that stupid hobby of gardening. I just wish to be able to hold him again, and never let go. Just the way he talks always soothes me from my impulses. But he's not here, I'm scared I might do something. Scared I will lose him if I dont take the initiative."

Now she's actively moving closer to you, as her pawed fingers twiddle around one another, her thoughts growing more intentional.

But she hesitates, her hand inches away from your arm, and pulls back, hiding her face and rubs her arm against her legs with clenched fists

"But you are also so soft, so kind, so generous. Almost a replica of the one i gave my heart to. Just murmuring his qualities..."

In this occasion, she instead crawls towards you. Eyes dead set upon your face, and arms locking onto your wrists to push down with her weight. She heaves lightly, locking onto the form she put you in.

"So before i do something I know i'll regret, please tell me what is bad about me? What makes me such a target to other people, and how can I change that? I want to change not just for him, but for my own sense of being."

Her lips began to moisturize from saliva, and her body grew hotter the closer she leaned in, not giving room for error. But right when she was about to take that moment.

Her actions freeze midway, and look around, before seeing how close she was to you. Reaching her hand upon her lips and feeling the lubricated saliva upon it, immediately recoiling off of you.

"Oh... I'm sorry! I should have- No wait... I- Ugh forget it! Look at me chasing remnants!"

Before storming off, quickly turning a corner into the dining room, and not returning.

The silence felt, unwanted. So you stand, and follow where she went.

How she was found? With her head laying low upon the wooden table, her arms covering her face with one hand gripping at her own hair, her legs crossed, and one foot tapping excessively upon the creaking floor. Along with sharper inhales and soft whimpers.

But even then, compared to the living room, there is a warmth.

You took a chair, just opposite of the table, and sat down. With her slowly releasing her grip upon her arms. In tandem, she never looks up, she keeps her head low to the wooden composition.

"I was so close... So close to hurting two people I care about by invading. I was just in the moment, and I got reminded of Lou, so I grew closer with a different lens and look at me now, some girlfriend I am."

(But you dont budge, there was not a reason to budge. With this confirmation, her hands begin to curl, the subtle friction inside her knuckles pop abruptly in the room.(

"I miss Lou so much... I-It's only 3 days, but I cant even function without n-nearly putting my frustrations and burdens on his f-friend."

(Hands begin to knock on the table, growing in intensity from a loud knock, till shes slamming her own fist into the table, pulling her head up, and shooting up onto her feet abruptly.(

She can see it, how much more distance you have put from her, you aren't even within distance to be physical... Hitches came from her throat

"L-Look... It was just one possible kiss. I still love Lou so, so very much. Just because I was about to kiss you doesnt mean our friendship should end. You shouldnt be this distant..."

She began to sway closer, dragging her finger upon the table.

"Think about it like this. You have a gift that has been with you all your life, and then all of a sudden its gone for just a dew days. Sure it's happened before, but now you get a new one to replace that gift for those few days.... Even if you know the original gift is coming back, you got to cherish it, make sure you make memories with it. Lou will never know, and you shouldnt feel bad about it, cause I need to release my stress."

But she was only met with silence. Leaving her to linger.

SNAP

right there, beside you, her arms now dug right onto the wood.

(Her face was riddled with streaks of salted water, her muscles coiled and cramped around her arms, hands gripping onto the edge of the table, and leaving deep gashes on the wood.(

Quick as the wind, she turns her back, and goes to storm off again, but stops. Looking back at you*

"I-I dont know what to say to you. But before I leave... forget I acted this way. I've just been... o-overwhelmed by him leaving, and seeing how similar you are; I was impulsed. If not, I understand. I'm just a infidel who doesn't deserve the luxury of a good family. Alongside that, be more receptive. I'm just going through some things like most girls, dont make it more complicated with silence."
