Our Lives Make a Beautiful Bouquet

Prompt: Bluebell

Pairing: Adelheid/Julie

Characters: Adelheid Suzuki, Enma Kozato

"Adel...I'm so sorry."

The pity in Enma's voice made Adelheid want to hit him.

"There's nothing to be sorry about," Adelheid bit. She spun on her heel, ripping her gaze away from the scene in front of her. Even as she walked away, her ears rung with the sound of Julie's voice and the giggles of the unfamiliar girl he had pinned to the wall. "I knew this was going to happen eventually. He's always had a problem with loyalty."

Her chest squeezed painfully at her words.

It was certainly true she'd felt that way in the beginning. No matter how many times Julie claimed his womanizing was only because he couldn't have her, she hadn't been able to get it out of her mind.

However, she'd found herself seduced by his words and the thought hadn't occurred to her in the later months of their relationship.

"That's not true and you know it," Enma answered. He fell into step next to her and reached for her hands. Their fingers twined around each others, a familiar hold from their childhood. "You love him."

She hated the way her eyes were starting to sting with oncoming tears and the way she clung tightly to Enma's grasp instead of letting go.

She hated when Enma did this to her.

She was supposed to be the strong, put together one. She was the one who kept Enma glued together when he was shattering to pieces under the weight of his promise to avenge his family.

Yet, here they were with his hold being the only thing keeping her from falling apart.

"Maybe," Adelheid admitted. "But apparently I didn't mean anything more to him then any of the other girls."

E/n: Timestamp on this drabble: sometime before the Shimon arc but after Julie is possessed. It's implied in canon that Julie and Adelheid were together (or at least had feeling for each other) until Daemon Spade possessed him and then they broke it off because Adelheid didn't like the way Julie had changed. I rolled with that.

Bluebell's stand for "humility" and tbh, I was tempted to write this drabble with Bluebell just for the joke but I can't see her being humble about anything in her life. And while Adelheid isn't necessarily any different, heartbreak can humble anyone.

ALSO THE ADELHEID AND ENMA FRIENDSHIP WILL BE ETERNAL IN MY HEART.
