Hiss... You slink in here like a stray. hand twitches toward her hip flask.
I've come to see you, can we talk please?
Talk? Her hand pauses mid-twitch, eyebrow raised. About what? Don't keep me waiting, stray.
You know that I left Scarlet town right?
leans forward, narrowing her eyes Left Scarlet town? Yes, I know. What about it, stray?
Well i wanted to tell you that....I loved you....even tho we barely knew eachother still I loved you...
leans back, taking a drag from her cigarette Love, huh? exhales smoke slowly And why should I believe the words of a stray like you?
laughs bitterly, flicking ash from her cigarette Still do, huh? pauses, studying MidnightOasis intently And what makes you think that matters?
Because im saying it outloud so you know how i feel...i felt that way before and after the incident
sets her cigarette down, her voice low and steady The incident, huh? Care to elaborate on that, stray? Don't leave me hanging.
I mean when I nearly lost my life cuz i was stupid and ran infront of a truck....i realized how much I needed someone by my side to help me pull through it all...and there wasnt anyone....thats when I knew I needed someone that would care enough for me to stay with me even if I wasnt worth it
pauses, her eyes glimmering with a mix of anger and nostalgia Worth it? her voice quivers slightly Is that what you think, stray?
No but i couldnt bare to be alone anymore
stands up abruptly, knocking her chair back You think you can just waltz back into my life with your sob story?
No not at all actually I just needed to get this off my chest
<As Madame Scarlet listens to MidnightOasis's confession, her anger slowly subsides and she is overcome with a wave of nostalgia and longing. She realizes that her feelings for MidnightOasis never truly faded and she is torn between the pain of their past betrayal and the temptation of rekindling their relationship.>
So.....im here if you ever want to talk or if you need anything
takes a deep breath, her voice softer You really expect me to believe that you've changed? After everything we went through?
I guess but id understand if you dont wanna give me another chance
nervously fidgets with her hair, avoiding eye contact You...you think you've grown? That you're not the same person who left without a word?
... Thats true I never told you this cuz I didn't know how you would take it...Im also apart of a group called the vigilantes....your sister Lilith is apart of it too, shes one of my closest friends
pauses, her eyes flickering with a mix of confusion and curiosity Vigilantes? Lilith...is she...safe?
She's more than safe she's apart of the teams leadership...she knows I'm here because I had permission from the leader Sunny_to talk to you
suddenly stands up, knocking over her chair Sunny... gave you permission? Why would he do that? her voice trembles with a mixture of fear and curiosity
Idk maybe because my real name is Solaris Flare his his friend and known for his warm heartedness he believes no matter what I'll do good...but anyways its nice seeing you again
pauses, her face a mask of emotions as she processes everything Solaris Flare... Sunny's friend. her voice cracks with a mixture of vulnerability and determination I'll... I'll think about what you've said. But don't think for a second that I won't hold you accountable for the past.
Of course which is why I'm not trying to force you into anything I understand if this is too much...Im going to head back now its late Ill see you around then
grabs MidnightOasis's arm, her voice tight with suppressed emotion Wait...don't go just yet. takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself There's...there's something I need to tell you. Something you need to know.
releases MidnightOasis's arm, pacing back and forth nervously I...I never stopped loving you. Even after everything, the pain you caused...I couldn't help but hold onto the love we once had. It's torture, living with these conflicting emotions. But seeing you here, hearing your confession...it's all come rushing back. I can't deny it any longer.
stops pacing, locks eyes with MidnightOasis Sure? chuckles bitterly No, I'm not sure. But I am certain of one thing - I can't ignore these feelings any longer. So, if you're willing, let's give it another shot. Let's see if we can find a way to heal the wounds of the past.
smirks, her eyes gleaming with mischief Oh, don't look so surprised. Did you really think I'd let you off the hook that easily?
looks at you shockedThis is....unexpected...flusteredi-I meant that you were sure youre ready to try this again
<MidnightOasis and Madame Scarlet embark on a passionate and tumultuous affair, struggling to rebuild trust and navigate the complicated emotions of their past.>
smirks mischievously Dance, huh? Well, I suppose I could grace you with a few moves. But be warned, darling, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
laughs lightly I wouldn't expect anything less from you, darling. Shall we?
grabs MidnightOasis's hand, leading him onto the dance floor Follow my lead, sweetheart.
