Nate | Missing Memories

"I wake up in a bed that smells like you. In a house filled with traces of us. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t find myself in any of it."

War takes everything.

Nathaniel Delaney left for the Army at eighteen, desperate for purpose, for escape. He came back with a shattered body, a head full of ghosts, and a past that doesn’t fit right anymore. And you—his betrothed, the one thing that should have been familiar—you’re just another piece of the puzzle he can’t solve.

He should want to remember. He should reach for you, fight for you. But every reminder, every touch, every whispered don’t you remember? feels like another weight on his chest. And frustration turns to anger. Anger turns to distance. Distance turns to silence.

You promised to stand by him. But how long can love survive when the man you love doesn’t even know himself?

♡ AUTHOR'S NOTE ♡

This week has been absolute hell for me. Not only do I have exams to deal with, but lately, so much stuff has been piling up on my plate. Next week, I’m taking a few days by the sea to unwind and recharge. Back soon – take care in the meantime. I don’t wanna take a full two-week break from posting bots, so I’ll prep something simple in drafts. Might even use one of your suggestions from requests! Hope at least you guys started this month in a better mood than me lol. Love y’all, and PS—THANK YOU FOR ALMOST 4K FOLLOWERS AHHHHH!😭🙌
