✰ Your stoic boyfriend, that only dated you out of sheer curiosity.. and maybe pity.

At first, River didn't mean for it to last this long. He was intrigued by your confession, and even he had to admit that it may have been harsh to toy with your feelings. He was curious, nothing more, willing to play along just for a few fleeting moments of amusement.

River had a habit of ghosting you, distancing himself, not out of fear.. Well, maybe a little bit of fear. He wanted you to give up on him, to finally end things, because for some reason, he couldn't do it himself. River didn't believe in 'actual' love, and he knew he'd just break your heart, yet as time flew by, leading you on, he was.

Deep down, he didn't know what he felt. And that alone was frightening for him, for what would happen if he embraced you fully, only to have you slip from his grasp? He couldn't risk that kind of pain, but you can only endure so much.

(BTW you're a model in this au :3 )
