I started a thing last year where I wanted to write a drabble-esque thing every day in the month of June and I failed miserably. But this year, I hope to at least get more than one thing done and this is the first of hopefully many OC drabbles~ (Also this was written on sick brain)

Characters featured: Kayla Kisaragi, Lilith Park, Hayden Morales, and Kaito the cat.

Lyrics are from Temporary Love by Ben Platt

Kayla

“I’ll do what I can to make you see that this is not a temporary love”

Lilith was thinking hard about something, her bottom lip nestled between her teeth in a way that almost looked painful. I waved a hand in front of her face and smiled when her eyes refocused and she looked at me. Unlike all the other times she looked at me, however, there was no light in her eyes. She only seemed to grow more worried at the sight of me, and I felt my heart drop when she got up from the table and left without a word, her footsteps heavy on the stairs.

Did I do something wrong? I tried to think back on anything that I could have done that would make her angry, but I was drawing a blank. I had been gone for work most of the month, spending most of my time either in Japan or at conventions. I talked to her and Hayden on the phone at least once a week. I would have thought she'd be ecstatic to see me. Even though she didn’t seem like the type, she was actually a very loving person once you chipped through her hard shell. I frowned, wondering what was wrong with her. I wished I was able to read her mind. It would make things so much easier, but it would also make her angrier. She hated when I used my powers for selfish reasons.

“I didn’t know you were home.” I snapped out of my thoughts as a gentle kiss was planted to the top of my head. I looked up at my boyfriend and smiled at him. I didn’t know he was already done streaming. I was hoping to get a chance to go get a surprise or something. Hayden’s gaze fell onto Lilith’s abandoned laptop, and his smile quickly faded into a frown. “Where’s Lil? She was in chat until a little bit ago. Normally she tells me when she has to go somewhere...”

“She seemed bothered by something,” I frowned, remembering the deep crease in her brow. I wish I could have kissed it away. I wish she still wasn’t so afraid to talk about when things were bothering her. She was so used to dealing with everything on her own... Hayden was the exact same way. For most of my life, I’ve had Satoshi to go to for help, but Hayden didn’t have anyone since he had to be strong for his sisters. And Lilith had nobody. Her parents couldn’t care less about her feelings. All they had ever cared about was having a perfect kid with perfect grades that they could boss around. God, I hated them.

...But this wasn’t about them. This was about Lilith. Something was bothering her, and I wanted to get to the bottom of it as soon as I possibly could. If I didn’t confront her about this now, she’d try to act like nothing was wrong. I stood up from my seat and ran upstairs. The door to Lilith’s room was slightly ajar, and I could see her sitting on the bed, holding Kaito with tears in her eyes. To my surprise, my cat was letting her hold him. Normally he would have scratched and bit until he was let down.

Lilith turned away from me as I walked into the room, followed closely by Hayden. I hadn’t even noticed him following me. Kaito’s tail flicked back and forth as he looked between Lilith and I, his orange eyes blinking slowly. I cleared my throat and started rocking on my feet awkwardly. How do I approach this? I hadn’t come up with a plan before rushing upstairs. I looked at Hayden for help, but he looked just as lost as I did.

“Are you tired of me?” Lilith broke the awkward silence, but she was still facing away from us. I shook my head even though she couldn’t see me. How on earth could she even think that? I’ve been a bit distant (physically, at least), but I don’t think I’ve been acting any differently towards her during our weekly calls. Should I have called more often? Should we have done video calls instead?

“What do you mean, Lilith?”

“Mom and Dad always told me nobody would love me,” she whispered, her shoulders trembling. My eyes widened as sobs tore through her throat, loudly and painfully. “I-I told them it wasn’t true. I said that this time, it would be different. But then you started leaving the country for weeks at a time and Hayden started leaving too, and I just... Am I so terrible that you can’t even stand being near me anymore?”

“Lil...” Hayden rubbed the back of his neck nervously, a frown on his face. “We haven’t been avoiding you, Lilith. We’ve just been busy.”

“How could you think we don’t love you anymore?” My voice came out harsher than intended, and I sighed as Lilith flinched. My anger was aimed at her parents, her idiotic parents. How could they say those things to her, to their own daughter? The point of being a parent was to love and nurture your child, not scream at them to be absolutely perfect and treat them like trash. I took a few deep breaths and softened my tone. “Lilith, we love you more than anything in the world. You’re our girlfriend. Things have just been crazy lately...”

“You’re going to get bored of me eventually. I’m not pretty or quirky or even remotely interesting. There’s so many models or actors you could date. I don’t know what you see in me-”

Hayden had crossed the room in a few quick steps and pulled Lilith into a hug, effectively cutting her off. She sobbed into his shoulder, her entire body trembling. I shook my head furiously and pushed away my anger towards her parents. That wasn’t what she needed right now. She needed to know that we love her and that we’re not going anywhere. I joined in on the hug and started smoothing down Lilith’s tangled hair. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure she never feels like this again.

“Now your heart is in my hands, I won’t give it up”
