12.24 a soft epilogue

The strongest.

Grief was a strange thing. He had always thought that it came in like a wave. Whenever he had read about it or saw it through a screen it had seemed elegant in its destruction. He knew, of course, that it was debilitating. But he hadn’t expected it to be quite like this. The hollowness that accompanied it. As though his heart and soul had been torn from his being, body still calling out for them but finding nothing in their place. It allowed the pain to echo and rebound within him. Compounding on itself. 

And he still couldn’t quite comprehend the guilt that caused his mind to turn in on itself as well. The ‘why’ that would never be answered. Nice had taken his own life. Why? He would have been there for him. How much pain had he been in? To the point where he never reached out, never asked for help, hadn’t thought to lean on his shoulder? If he could even do that anymore.  They could have run away together. Left Nice and Wreck behind.

Left it all behind.

But now he is gone.

And someone else had taken his face. Had taken his voice. His eyes. All of it. Keeping him alive when all he had wanted to do was rest.

The fight, the one he had looked forward to, a moment to reunite with his other half, was meaningless. The anger that had burned within him managing to go out all too soon, the grief that had come drowning any last embers.

And when he fell he let himself.

It felt like freedom. Like he was chasing after Nice one last time.

Perhaps he was waiting for him, wherever he had ended up.

And wherever they were at the end of this, they’d be together. As they should have always been.

at least it was the white haired one this time

Take me back to the night we met

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here
