"I know," he replied simply, keeping his gaze upon the beautiful woman before him. The longer that they conversed about the subject, it seemed the more angry that Daphne became. If she expected them to go about their lives without having a random talk about the problems before them, including the most nessesary one at times, then it was quite foolish. Blaise was indeed selfish. Maybe had learned to be so throughout the years with his best friend. He wasn't exactly sure. It was obvious that she was every other time when she wanted things to go her way, but Blaise never made any notion of the such. He respected her far too much to bring out any flaws that might shine their way though. If once asked about such flaws, he would easy say that Daphne didn't have one within her perfect mind, within or out. However, he disliked their arguements. Oh, how he hated them so. Half way through them, he always wanted to forget about them all together and return to normal. It almost didn't seem an option for them to do just that though.
Blaise had wanted to see what would occur between them if only he had taken the step within Hogwarts of how they would be as a couple. Of course, no matter who came around for a few days or so, he had always returned to Daphne merely because within his eyes, she was indeed the perfect woman. It made him jealous from the very moment the arranged marriage had been brought up for the first time. Oh, how he was disappointed and wounded to know that her parents hadn't chosen him to take her hand. It disgusted him that it had to be the ginger-haired Vaisey whom was no where near deserving to be around a beautiful creature such as Daphne. The what ifs had always floated through his mind day after day, and they always seemed to end up the same where he had been in the present time. Somehow and someway, Blaise knew that Daphne would never be only his. It was written in stone elsewhere that he was set to admire her from afar for most of the time and come together once in a while. It had always been such a way with his best friend. The fates deemed it so as well.
It was obvious by his request that it had stirred up some negative emotion. Blaise didn't ask her to choose to make tears roll down her cheeks. He never wanted to be the cause of the sadness within her life. Never. However, he thought he was in the right to ask such a bold question. Others waited their entire lives for their significant other to leave a married one, of those who were in the same position as himself, but it never quite turned out the way that they hoped. Blaise knew that it wasn't Daphne's choice to stay with Nikolas. In fact, he wasn't even sure how close they were with each other. Four years, there had to be some feeling witihn the relationship by now, especially since he never raised a hand towards her. If Nikolas did though, Blaise would make sure that the ginger's life was plucked from his corpse. The same would have to go for Astoria's relationship with Draco. The Greengrass siblings meant the word to him. The only family he honestly had left, so no one would blame him for reacting or feeling such a way. But not being with Daphne and to have her for his own, honestly made him yearn for her even more then before. One truly never knew what they had until it was completely gone. Sure, Blaise could have risked it all and asked to become a unified couple years before in Hogwarts, but if it didn't turn out the way that he had wanted it to, there was a chance that Daphne would no longer be within his life. That was unacceptable, which was one of the reasons he never persuded it further. He never imaged it would hurt quite so much.
