A/N: This is pretty random…I realize that. But I'm a random person that likes strange things, so this appeals to me. Also, I give credit to the super fabulous zenphoenixa for suggesting that Albel and Fayt be reincarnated in one of my other stories…so now she can rest easy that they are. XD
Disclaimer: I really own nothing…and I'm pretty much broke anyway…all I have is a crappy driver's license picture that makes it look like I have measles.
The fist time it happened was many years ago. It was during the age of ignorance, where anything against societal norms was viewed as unacceptable and punishable by death. Such was to be the fate of two young men named Albel and Fayt, whose only crime was being in love. Huddled together in a darkened alleyway during a violent storm, hoping not to be found, they made a pact with each other: "I will never leave you. Whether by life or by death, we'll always be together."
Nine months after their deaths, two little boys with the same names were born to neighbors. Almost as soon as they could walk, the two were walking hand in hand.
The second time such a thing happened was soon after the first, when the little boys turned four. Their behavior was considered too deviant to allow them to live any longer. They died by stoning, and just like the first two boys, their deaths were followed by infants named after them, bearing a striking resemblance.
It was only after three reincarnations later that the boys ended up in a time where homosexuality was frowned upon, but not considered a crime. They were sneered at, spat at, denied entrance to many establishments, but at least they were allowed to live. They both lived a long, happy life, until the invention of the car turned out to be their downfall. Both were killed instantly by being hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street.
Seven reincarnations later, homosexuality was accepted, even encouraged. Of course, some parents lamented about their son's failure to carry on the family line, but overall, it was considered a healthy habit for teenagers. It resulted in no unplanned pregnancies before marriage, and young couples would not be burdened with children when they were too young to be fully responsible.
The two boys were finally legally allowed to get married. They were able to drive a car safely, without ever getting in an accident. They weren't targeted because of their sexual orientation. But still, everyone has to die eventually.
At 85, Albel wound up in the hospital, dying from heart disease. Fayt was there at his bedside all the time. And inexplicably, Fayt began to get sick as well. There was no medical reason for it. Fayt was simply wasting away out of sympathy for his beloved husband. Fayt was found nestled against Albel in his hospital bed, both of them pronounced dead.
The current Fayt and Albel were born later, but these two would be the ones to break the chain…
