Title: If I Hadn't Met You
Fandom: Spice And Wolf
Character/Pairing: Lawrence-centric with a side of delicious Lawrence/Holo
Summary: It was unnecessary. It wasn't right. He shouldn't have done it. But he did, and now he is left to pay the price.
Author's Notes: I thought I posted this here before...*sigh* I'm going crazy.
He’s wandering the streets, looking for some sign of mercy in this city that put on a warm façade to detract from its true coldness.
He’s purposely trying to ignore what he’s just done.
“If I hadn’t met you-”
…What would he have done if he never met her?
He isn’t sure what he would do. Thanks to her very presence, he lost opportunities to get himself out of this mess. He’s reduced to mush whenever her eyes light up at the sight of apples or whatever else she’s particularly interested in. She causes him every kind of stress there is, and somehow, he can’t find the courage
And even then, he said those harsh words. It was unnecessary. It wasn’t right. He shouldn’t have done it, but he did, and now he is left to pay the price.
He knows that it’s pointless to try and blame things on her when she didn’t do anything wrong. Being there for him when no one else was couldn’t constitute a breach in trust.
“If I hadn’t met you-”
He knows exactly how he’d feel if those words were said to him, and it serves as a reminder of how harsh he can really be.
