James lee x gn!reader : In case you come back one day.
The reader rants about their past relationships experience on a song comment section they recently listened to.
note: James kinda ooc(?), attempted to angst. I was planning to make it like the reader view, like their feelings then what happened(flashback or smthg idk) but I’m lazy. Not proof read, I’m bad. Reader kinda still hung up, if you squint enough I’m kinda listening to a sad song rn. Bold font for the typing and the italicized for flashback. (Plottwist dg wrote the song and saw the comment lol) with the help of Grammarly.
During the midnight hour, their finger danced across the keyboard, each keystroke echoing in the quiet room. Blending with the faint whirr of the glowing screen with melody’s in the background.
The sounds of the faint tapping on the keys stopped, few moments later - a sound of clicking can be heard as they began to typed again.
I've met it fresh and hot, it was years ago, yet it felt like yesterday. Actually, I've been walking so far that I can start again with someone else, but in my heart I secretly ask a question. Do I really still have a spot left for him?
In their distant and hazy memories, They shared soft whispers and laughter, the gentle breeze carrying their words like secrets through the air. With each stolen glance and faint smiles.
Or always ask myself that do I love the person in front of me equally to that person. Until now.
In the dimly lit ambiance of their favorite spot, he sat across from them- on the side, his demeanor cool and composed, concealing the turmoil within. They sensed a distance growing, a chill settling in the air.
“We need to talk,” he began, his voice steady, devoid of emotion, easily making their pulse quickened, a knot forming in the stomach.
"I met a lot of people, but in the end, no one can replace you." Right into the hook. I realized, I didn't intend to hurt the person infront of me.
“What’s wrong?”
I just want myself to try and start again, but now I understand that.
“This,” the red haired boy, he gestured subtly between them, “isn’t working anymore.”
“What do you mean?”
I did never stop loving or stop missing him at all.
Confusion etched across their face, so many questions left unanswered. He met their gaze, his eyes holding a depth they couldn’t fathom.
“I’m leaving.”
I wanna say something in case, even if I never get the chance to tell him.
“Leaving? Why?” Panic rising within them making their heart skipped a beat.
“I can’t stay,” the tall boy stated firmly, his tone unwavering. “It’s not safe for you.”
They searched his eyes for answers, finding only resolve. “Not safe? What are you talking about?—That’s not true. We love each other. We can work through whatever it is!”
I got so many questions that was never answered, you left with no room for me to ask further more. What’s happening? Did I do something wrong?
As they spoke, he looked away, sighing at their persistence. Unable to meet their gaze. “No, you don’t understand. I’m.. I’m dangerous.”
Their brows furrowed in confusion and annoyance. “What do you mean, dangerous?”
“I can’t explain” he said, his voice barely a whisper in disappointment. “But you need to trust me. You need to let me go.. there are things you don’t know about me. Things that could put you in danger if I stay.”
Their mind raced, trying to make sense of his words. “But I don’t understand. We are together, we love each other- why are you leaving me with just.. short explanations?”
Then you just disappeared for no reason. I couldn’t find you, as if you were gone.
“…farewell.”
And with that he just walked away, coldly stood up- leaving them sitting there, alone with nothing but unanswered questions and a heart heavy with sorrow.
I still have a spot left for you in my feelings, always will be the one for you, In case you come back one day.
After hours of uninterrupted typing, they finally halted, their hands hovering over the keyboard as they took a moment to gather their thoughts. Pressing the final key—
The soft click of the laptop lid echoing in the now silent room.
