(ooc: COMPLETELY FORGOT TO POST THIS)
*Avarice had lost, Hanahaki had beaten him. Avarice felt his eyes start to close, he was tired. He was having the time of his life causing chaos, he was still tired. He was a being who didn't require sleep, but he wanted it. He had never once fallen asleep, always busy working on something. So this final rest would be welcomed with open arms*
*He feels remorse as he closes his eyes, sure he lost but at least it was over. Perhaps Crave had also passed, and they could frolic through the after life together. Yeah, that was a nice thought.*
*He wasn't expecting to awake again, but when he did he was drifting through an endless white void. It wasn't bright, it wasn't dark, it was just beautiful. He knew this was his end but, he was smiling. For the first time in his sinful existence, his smile was genuine. It wasn't the same thing as when making a deal, or during the chaos of doomsday. This smile felt right, it felt like bliss as he continued floating through his final thoughts.*
*It wasn't long before his feet touched something. There was a platform, he couldn't see it but it was there. He looked up and he saw someone in the distance, he didn't know who it was but he felt the need to get to them. He started running on air to get to the person, as he got closer he could make out details about them. They were a pink hedgehog with black quill highlights, bright red cuffs, baggy pants and jacket, and pitch black gloves. He couldn't recognize them but he knew who they were.*
*It was Crave. He'd never seen his physical form yet Avarice knew it was his love. He reached Crave, who was smiling and waving at him, and embraced the being of lust before him.*
*It was difficult for Avarice to speak through the flowers in his throat. His arms were stiff as he hugged Crave due to all the gold he had to repair himself with. A small, gold tear rolled down Avarice's face*
Avarice? It's been a while, how long has it been?
*Avarice pulled out of the hug ever so slightly so he could look at Crave*
Too long *He said through tears*
There there *Crave cups Avarice's check with his black gloved hand* Dear why are you crying, you know I'm not your actual Crave.
I know it's just... Being able to see his face is nice *Avarice could tell it wasn't actually Crave, just a manifestation to make him happy as he passed to the afterlife*
And you know he never loved you the way you did? *The illusions tone hurt, but it was true*
I- I know but it's nice to believe...
But it's not true, you need to learn how to move on
But I don't- *something caught Avarice's words. A red mum flower blossomed and filled Avarice's throat, not allowing him to speak. He starts to cry more than he already was, tears were streaming down his gilded and broken face. He wanted to speak to someone resembling Crave for one final time but the flowers bloomed by Craved rejection blocked Avarice's voice from coming out. Avarice drops to his knees, his hands falling next to him on the invisible floor.*
*the being resembling Crave bends down to wipe* No one, good or bad, deserves to be sad while they pass. Even if they're confronted with the hurtful truth. * A yellow rose with a gold coin in the center of the petals blooms in the false Crave's hand. They take it and pin it into Avarice's quills as they slowly fade away* farewell...
*Avarice feels tired again, his vision blurs. He was just crying, but the warmth of the rose in his quills made him smile one last time. Avarice's thoughts go blank, so does everything else. But he was smiling, in the end he achieved his goal of reuniting with Crave, in a way that is*
