I still think
Some people were born a shadow.
"γƒΌHappy birthday, sweetheart!"
Tumblr media
"Thanks, mama!"
Tumblr media
"May Lady Tsaritsa bless my little snowflake so he grows up big and healthy... And may She protect you from all dangers and surround you with love and happiness!"
Tumblr media
"..... Mama, what about-"
"Hold on, darling."

Every year, instead of burning candles, I burn the memories of you.
Every year, instead of huddling in front of a warm fireplace, I relive the memories of the icy grave you call home.
Every year....
I wonder.
Tumblr media
Why didn't you just diΜ΄ΜŠΜ–eΜ·Ν„Μ’ΜΏΜ†Μ»Ν™ that day?
Tumblr media
Why did the gods pity you when your own blood couldn't care less?
Tumblr media
Why you? Why me? Why us?
I dare not defy the fate bestowed upon me. This is the role we were bestowed with. The second option. The second best. The supporting role.
The shadow.

Just... maybe.
.............
Maybe all this time, I've been tricking myself, thinking I was undeserving. Of the spotlight. Of the warm fireplace. Of..... a home.

β€œHappy birthday, Cov!!”
β€œMy my, did we catch you off-guard so much you were about to unsheathe your sword?”
β€œAh... I'm..... sorry.......”
β€œIt's fine, it's fine. More importantly, do you like chocolate cakes? I had no idea what kind of cake you'd like but since you love hot chocolate and cookies, I thought you'd like themー”

β€œCov?”

Tumblr media
β€œThank you.”
Maybe one day, I'll be able to feel truly worthy of this.
......
I guess…. Just for today, I can be the light.
