💥🔥Tartaglia [ANGST]

It started like all your arguments did—with a tease that turned into a jab, and a jab that cut too deep.

"You’re always running from something, aren’t you?" you snapped. “Even with me, you act like this is just another mission.”

Childe scoffed, arms thrown wide. “Because it is! You think love's some kind of safe zone? That this thing between us isn’t going to fall apart the second things get messy?”

You stared, stunned. “Is that all this ever was to you?”

His smile twisted, voice harsh. “What did you expect? I’m a Harbinger. You knew what I was when you got into this.”

“You’re not a weapon, Ajax!” you cried. “You're a person—and I loved you.”

“Then you were a fool,” he snarled before he could stop himself.

Everything went quiet.

You stared at him. Hurt gave way to rage.
