#platonic angst with little to no comfort with Blade and reader as the main focus

[nervocat]

“You're brought what is seemingly an old page from an old book that the library once had. The kitten looked up at you a mewed, wanting you to read it . . . ”

major spoilers for High Cloud Quintet lore as well as Blade, Dan Heng, Jingliu and (minor) Jing Yuan lore | wc: 267

“Blade..” you murmur, looking at him as he stands across from you. He narrows his eyes, sword at his side.

“[name]..” he replies, tone deep as he keeps his distance. There's some silence before you speak to him for the first time in centuries.

“So.. how's it been, Ying-”

“Don't,” Blade cuts you off, his eyes narrowing further. You nod curtly.

“Blade, how's it been?” you corrected yourself. Ever since Dan Feng had committed his crimes, Jingliu lost herself to the Mara and disappeared, Yingxing became Blade and Baiheng died, you haven't been able to have any type of chat with anyone other than Jing Yuan.

Blade stays silent for a moment again before answering with a “Could be better,” and still eyeing you. What used to be gentle blue eyes were now a piercing red, staring right through you instead of at you.

Silence falls over the two old friends again, and Blade breaks that silence.

“Of six people,” he paused, pointing his sword at you as you remind straight-faced, looking at him dead on. "Three must pay a price, and you are not one of them, [name]."

You sigh as Blade sets his sword back down to his side, the tip of the sword facing the blue sky of Scalegorge Waterscape. You two keep eyes locked, his red eyes seemingly staring through you as he turns on his back to you and walks to the lady behind him to leave to who knows where.

You just wish things could go back to when life was good, but you had accepted long ago, that that was impossible. ☆
