so i returned briefly to re-break my own heart. why not bring you lot down with me? :^) happy holidays, sinners. under the cut for length. no happy endings here, folks.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āThingsāve been pretty quiet, lately. Somethinā bigās
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā probably about tā happen.ā
He was sitting upright in his bed, legs stretched out before him and an arm around the smaller figure to his side. He didnāt bother lookingāhe could feel the Soldatās head raise up to study him curiously.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āYou donāt really sound concerned. You should be
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā careful, Bazz.ā
Was that worry in his voice? Of all the people to worry about himābut then again, maybe he was the only one that really could. No one knew The Heatās weaknesses better.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āYa just worry too much, Tobe. Seems like all ya do,
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā these days. Relax, will ya?ā
A sigh, and this time he did look to see the pout he knew would be forming along the other manās lips. It caused his own to pull back in a mischievous grin.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āOf course Iām worried. Youāre not taking any of this
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā seriously anymore.ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āHow would ya even know?āĀ
And there just a hint of a tone in his voice, now.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āYou know how. Even now, should you really be
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā here? Bazz, you know this is justāā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āShaddup.ā
The finality in his voice made it clear he didnāt want the conversation to continue. Because he knew where Tobias was going with it. This is just a dream. Youāre still sleeping. As if the waking world had any more purpose for him. His entire purpose for as long as he could remember was to take down Yhwach. Even that had seemed less and less important, the more he found another reason to live.
And then that reason had been taken from him. Quite literally right out of his arms. Even painting the walls with the party responsible hadnāt brought him solace. It had been so sickeningly unsatisfying. Would successfully killing Yhwach have the same effect? If it was a lesson to be learned, he thought it wasnāt one worth sacrificing Tobiasā life for.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āThere aināt much left for me back there. If I thought
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā it wouldnāt shred the last bitāa respect Kaedeās got for
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā me, then Iād tell āer tā jump ship, too.ā
But heād probably lose her, too, one day. When that happened, the last small light in his world would go out and heād have nothing left. As far as he was concerned, he was just preparing for the inevitable.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āā¦Well, Iām glad youāre here. I missed you.ā
His grip on the Soldat tightened and his face lowered to bury itself in familiar spikes of dark hair.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āI missed you, too.ā
