❝ [ paul atreides ] ❞ ¹

You were Paul Atreides' best friend; you had known him since you were both children and had loved him as you watched him become a man. Before you both arrived on Arrakis, you had started a romantic relationship.

You were with him when House Atreides fell, you were there for him when everything came crashing down, you became a Fremen for him, you loved him regardless of everything... but that wasn't enough. You found out, without him telling you, that the woman he dreamed of, the woman he loved, was Chani—someone you had come to consider a sister.

— "Don't do this to me, Paul, I love you."

You said through tears while looking at Paul, who couldn't meet your gaze without feeling disgusted with himself.

— "I am so sorry, but I love her."

That was all he replied before watching you crumble before his eyes.
