And yes another story? If you are here because of my other story then I just have to say this isn't at all connected to that one. In fact this is set in a completely different universe and time than the other one. So let me know what you think of it and if I should continue or up my rating if it gets to adult ok? But right now it's staying at T. Enjoy!
Do not own Phineas and Ferb.
Prologue
If you love someone you have to let them go.
The words rang in Phineas's head that day. The same words his mother had once told him. He hadn't taken to heart what it meant at time but now…
He did his normal work in the palace- his hands soon became covered in sores from holding the mop so tightly but he hardly cared. It was the pain in his heart that hurt the most and throwing himself into his work was the only way he could think of to get his mind off of her. After mopping the entire grand hall by himself he caught himself thinking of her. Well of course he was thinking of her. He never went a day without thinking of her.
They had danced on the very floor he was mopping. This thought came into his mind and he just couldn't hold it in anymore. He broke down right there in the centre of the dance floor- mop and bucket abandoned a few feet away. The violent sobs shook him until he was laying on the floor like a lost puppy trying to find his way home. The tears fell down on the slightly wet hardwood floor. He brought his hands to his chest as if willing himself to pull together but he couldn't. He just couldn't.
He heard him come in but he didn't react until his brother had sat down beside him. Phineas looked up. Ferb looked back at him and asked with his eyes 'Are you okay?' Ferb had a way with communicating with his eyes, his adopted brother only spoke when he deemed it necessary. Besides to him words were pointless intakes of breath he could use later on.
Phineas didn't answer the question. He just threw himself into his silent brother's arms. Ferb patted his back in an attempt to calm him. Phineas's sobs grew louder and it was a while before he spoke and then it was only a faint whisper.
'I miss her.'
Ferb nodded understanding. 'You love her.' He stated the obvious. Ferb was known for this. He seemed to have a way with understanding people just by one look- he saw your entire world. As said before- his words were almost like magic.
'I do.' Phineas said. 'That's why I had to let her go.'
