Sometimes Love hits you when you least expect it. Or when you want it the least.
For Saber, this is beyond true. He never wanted to fall in love.
But sometimes stupid Cupid has to walk right through and shoot you with an arrow right out of the blue.
It all started on a cool autumn day. Saber was walking home, headphones on as he listened to his favorite music. Suddenly, he collided with someone, sending her books sprawling all across the sidewalk.
“Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry!” Saber exclaimed, grabbing the books for the girl. His ears pinned to his head in embarrassment as he handed them back to her.
And that’s when their eyes met. Her eyes wear a beautiful shade of violet, matching the purple mask she wore. Her fur was honey brown with chocolate colored ears and soft paws. It was like Cupid had a shotgun instead of a arrow, and he just shot Saber in the heart a hundred times.
“It’s fine.” The ferret girl said, smiling as she stood up. Her voice was like the sweetest melody to Saber’s ears, even better than his favorite musical.
“I-I’m Saber.” Saber choked out, flustered as he tried to keep eye contact. The girl smiled, probably trying not to life as Saber made a complete fool of himself. “I’m Dawn.” She said, holding out her hand for him to shake.
Hesitantly, he obliged, shaking her hand (or paw?). With that the two hurried on their separate ways.
For the next few days, Saber kept running into her, and they began talking more and more. He slowly fell deeper in love with her, a sweet, hesitant love. But it was still love.
Soon they had eachother’s numbers, and Saber would stay up late talking with her. It was the best few weeks of his life.
But good things never last.

Saber stood behind the coffee shop, his heart pounding in his chest as he leaned against the brick wall. He couldn’t believe he just saw. Dawn, _His _Dawn,_ _talking with some tall turtle dude in blue. Fury fumed through him. Not because she was talking with someone else, of course. He wasn’t some overly possessive dude.
No. It was the way he looked at her. Saber knew that look, and it made his heart hurt. It was the look of pure, sweet love. The love Saber had for Dawn shifted and twisted into a cruel, jealous love…it made him feel sick.
Later that day, Saber decided to talk to Dawn about it. “He’s just a friend.” She insisted, her face flushed and her eyes looking everywhere but him.
He knew better than to believe that, of course. The more she talked about this turtle, whom he later came to know as “Leo”, the more he knew it was more than platonic.
It was three weeks later when Dawn came to his apartment, grinning happily, claiming she had ‘big news.’ Saber had a feeling what that news was, and it broke his heart in two.
——
“Saber! You’ll never believe what happened!” Dawn giggled, walking into Saber’s dusty house, her tail wagging behind her. Saber’s heart picked up; he had a feeling about what she was gonna say.
“What is it?” He asked, though he knew exactly what she was going to say.
“Leo asked me to be his girlfriend!” She blurted out, grinning. Her tail was wagging and she was shaking with excitement.
Saber smiled weakly, patting her shoulder. He was happy for her, really. But part of him, the selfish part, wanted her to love him.
“That’s…wonderful.” He managed through clenched teeth. Dawn squealed. “I knowww! He’s just so sweet!”
——
So began Dawn’s weekly rants about how amazing Leo was, and her thanking Saber for always listening.
Every Sunday they’d meet up at the Cafe, where they’d get to chat and talk about life. Saber began to accept that Dawn was _never_ going to be his.
Yes, it indeed hurt Saber, but did he care? No! He learned to put those feelings aside and to learn to love the way the Maker wanted for him. Not the earthly, lust-filled way, but the pure, holy way.
