[fanfic] [generator rex] Not in love

[bromantic.livejournal.com]

Everyone assumes that Rex is in love with Circe.

They're not wrong, but Rex gets tired of the continuing assumption.

-xx-

The truth was Circe was not in love with him. And after reality sets in, Rex was not in love with her.

(even if at times, he looks at her and remembers every beautiful things, every promise sealed in her skin and thinks that if they worked, they would be magnificent)

They never work out and he doesn't fool himself otherwise.

She runs to him because he's never been able to turn her down. It stings a little because she never comes to him because she wants to.

-xx-

Rex rubs his neck constantly as if to remind himself that he doesn't have a collar. It helps his perspective, that he's no slave, that he's still Rex, the hero, the saviour, the last stand. He wants to just be Rex again, but the cheers of the EVOs ring in his mind and he dismisses it.

Rex is not in love with Circe.

He thinks about her constantly, but he's not in love with her. It's an easy enough distinction to make.

If he loved her, he would have saved her by now.

But he hadn't, so he wasn't in love with her.

-xx-

Sometimes, he hears her voice in the wind, singing.

(he never does, but he pretends he can hear her, no matter where she goes, love or otherwise)
