Aya looked away, a pained half-smile on his quirked lips.

"You know I must do this."

The red-head closed his eyes to avoid the crushed expression on his new-found friend's face.

Aya shook his head.

"All good things must come to an end. You, of all people, should know this."

"Don't give up hope like this!"

Aya turned his back on the tall blonde.

"I never had hope to begin with. This has always been my fate. There's nothing I, you, or anyone else can do about that. Good bye."

He faded away into the dark, sword in hand.

A/N: I might continue this with a series later one, or even a one-shot. Since this was just a 100-word drabble, I don't know. This was not meant to be shonen ai. Just two new friends taking different paths. Inspired because I was feeling very discouraged and separated from my friends after a first day of school where I didn't have any classes with them.
