a kind of dream [jade/beck]
title: A Kind of Dream
rating: PG-13
fandom/pairing: Victorious. Jade / Beck angst.
spoilers/warnings: The "Worst Couple" episode. One instance of ~inappropriate language.
summary: She used to. Now she doesn't.
words: 124
disclaimer: I do not own Victorious, or the lyrics to Nine's "My Husband Makes Movies."
a/n: My OTP has fucking heartwrenching development that doesn't involve it being sucked into the blackhole of Doomed Ships. If I were an anime character, this would be the part where I get sparkly and go Kyaa~ah!
She used to think, sometimes, that maybe she loved him. They were a whole new kind of shitty as couple, but she used to think that she loved him anyway. Maybe it was just in spite of that. Maybe it was because she did.
She tries not to think that he might have thought about loving her, too. Tries not to think that maybe he stayed up awake some nights, too, thinking about her face and her hair and her smiles and just her, and thinking that he was in love with her like she was something perfect even though she wasn't, and he wasn't, and they weren't.
But now it's all just past-tense anyway, and there's no past-tense for maybe, so she stops.
