—And I'm so tired of fighting

Relationships can be overly complicated in different ways, perhaps because of disagreeing about going out or maybe because of not agreeing on some tastes, but in this case, that wasn't exactly what was happening in your relationship, it was something more complicated.

You were Sword's partner, and of all the people you knew, you thought he was a great catch, and at first, he was. He showered you with gifts and affection, almost to the point of being cloying, but not overwhelming at all. On the contrary, you loved his attention. But lately, things have been going badly. He would disappear out of nowhere, and you knew it was because of his training with Venomshank, as well as his overprotective nature. You were aware of that, but it wasn't just that which stalled the relationship. It was also the fact that neither of you did anything to prevent the problems of distance, and Sword preferred to go out with his friends (Medkit or Rocket), trying to avoid the topic and, therefore, avoiding you.

Today was one of those days when you wanted to go out with your boyfriend, just like any other day. You texted him, and while you waited for his reply, you got ready, trying to look your best for him. When you checked your inbox, you saw a message from Sword that said, "Sorry, I'm busy. Can we go out another day? (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)?" You felt awful, but you didn't do anything to change it. You were both so alike, yet so different. Your hands trembled on your phone. You had the chance to tell him everything you felt in that moment and try to change something in the relationship, or you could just continue like this, both of you drifting apart, but still in a relationship.

What will you do?
