V (Bad End)
“There’s something I need to tell you.” MC said one day.
V smiled at them, sitting with them on the couch. He wanted them to feel that they could tell him anything. “What is it, MC?” He asked.
“I got accepted into that thing we were talking about.” They said, “I got a scholarship!”
V beamed, “That’s amazing MC! I’m so proud of you!”
“I’ll be gone for a while, though.”
V waited for them to continue.
“Two years.” They finally said.
V was very calm about it. He took them into his arms. “I understand, MC. I know this is something you have to do, and I support you 100%.”
V followed MC around like a puppy for weeks, which MC found adorable. He took them on several dates, showered them with gifts, and took as many pictures of them as he could. He wanted to spend more time with them, but he didn’t want them to feel like he was smothering them. MC actually ended up being the one to initiate more contact with him because they knew what he was thinking.
V organized a going away party for MC where he gave them a scrapbook of all the pictures he took of them and the RFA. “So you won’t forget us.” He said.
MC took his face in their hands, and kissed him, not caring that the other RFA members were there. “I love you so much.” They told him.
“I love you too.”
V and MC spent the whole night together because they knew it would be a while before they could do this again.
The next day, MC was fumbling around for their things, but V already had everything they needed prepared for them. “Oh no, did I forget my-“ They’d start.
“It’s in your purse, love.” He’d say.
MC looked at him. “How am I gonna survive out there without you?”
He held their waist. “You’ll do great out there, MC.” He kissed them. “And you know you can call me anytime.”
“You won’t be going anywhere with terrible signal again?” They laughed.
“I won’t.” He laughed as well.
Finally it was time for MC to board the plane. They hugged him tight. V almost cried. “I’m really gonna miss you.”
“I’ll miss you too. I love you, MC.” He kissed them again.
“I love you too.”
They grew apart. What other way is there to say it? V tried to visit, he tried to talk to them as often as he could, but his work did take him places where they couldn’t reach him and they usually didn’t know about it until he was back. MC hated the times where he wouldn’t tell them where he was, especially. It was frustrating.
“I’m sorry, MC. I’ll make it up to you.” He’d say at times
“Don’t worry about it, my love.” He’d say others. Well they were worried. It was really getting on their nerves.
Eventually MC just stopped trying.
V didn’t stop them. He didn’t even blame them. He knew that he was being unfair to them, and felt that they deserved better.
“I’m sorry, V.” They said.
V just smiled at them, like he always did.

V sighed as he watched MC laugh with their boyfriend. He missed making them laugh like that. MC was happy. They were finally with someone who could make time for them, who wouldn’t just disappear out of nowhere or break their promises. And V was happy for them.
He wished he did better, he wished that he could have made more time for them, or was more honest with them, he wished he could have done a better job at keeping them happy, but he wasn’t, and he didn’t, and he regrets it every day.
