You promised that we will always be together

"Look, Durbe…." The blonde knight spoke up in a shaky voice. Misael held Durbe's small figure in his arms bridal style. The silver haired king was drained from his duel with Yuma and he lost. "L-Look at our home…" the blonde paused "It's so beautiful!" Misael set Durbe carefully against the ground. "We are home! "

Durbe let out a small breath and opened his eyes slightly. "It's...so pretty…." He muttered out softly. If it was seen, Durbe would be smiling."Wel..come home..Misa.."

"I-Idiot! I should be the one saying that to you! You worked so hard! Our home is safe! It's beautiful like it's suppose to be!" Misael knelt down beside Durbe. With a shaky hand, he reached down and touched Durbe's cheek.

"You..are w…arm…" the dying king breathed out. "Misa…I'm so sleepy.."

Misael was trembling. "It's okay now…Durbe. You can sleep. You will have good dreams now. "

"I…did a bad thing…and stole a book from the human library…I just..couldn't give it back…" Durbe whispered weakly.

Misael blinked and hadn't noticed until now that in Durbe's arms were in fact a small, dark blue hard covered book.

"Can…you read the last chapter to me..?" the king asked. "I...need to know what happens at the end."

The blonde's eyes widen a bit at the question. He took the book and opened it to the last chapter. The title simply read end and Misael began to read and as he read his voice cracking every so often. Misael's blue eyes began to sting and fill with tears as he turned each page.

"Thank you…." Durbe breathed out.

Soon Misael reached the book's end and slowly he closed the book. He glanced down at Durbe's unmoving body and his teary eyes widen. "Durbe…?" he tugged his arm a bit. He picked it up and let it fall to the ground. "D-Durbe….? "

The king was dead.

"DURBE!" Misael's voice echoed through the sky. The tears streaming down his mask like waterfalls. "Durbe! You promised that we will always be together! Please come back! Without you I'm nothing!" the blonde grabbed Durbe's now cold hand tightly. "You gave me a purpose! I'm your knight! I'm your knight!" he screamed through his sobs. "Durbe!"

Many childhood memories ran through Misael's mind.

I'll always protect you…

Don't worry…I'll be your knight from now on!

Don't be scared, Misael. I'm here

We will fight together!

Durbe, this is our home.

Welcome home, Misael.

No matter what happens…we will always be together.

"Durbe…" Misael breathed out against the other's chest. Tears continued to fall. "Durbe….come back.."
