A/N; ohgodokay. Hello! This is the first official fic having been published on this account, and it's the first thing I've actually bothered to finish writing in ages. I'm still trying to get back into character and such, so I'm sorry if anything is a little off in this.

Slight HomuxMado, Oneshot, Drabblefic, Homura's POV. As I stated I'm feeling really fjdklhglkgh about this fic, so reviews would be lovely. Thank you for reading~!

I don't own Puella Magi Madoka Magica or any of the characters, and all that jazz.


There is a very small amount of people in this world like you.

It would take me my whole life to describe you. Altruistic, compassionate, optimistic, and beautiful inside and out.

All these qualities are merely understatements of the true qualities that lie in your heart and soul. Forgive me for being unable to list more; I was never the most eloquent of people. In fact when we met I rarely spoke at all, high-strung and oh-so naïve, however that never stopped you from speaking to me.

That warmth of yours radiated unto anyone and everyone that you came across.

I could not help but be naturally drawn to such inner beauty; it made me so proud to consider you my friend. I had finally found someone to cherish and be cherished in return, and then he came.

The creature that ruined and ended so many innocent lives. We blindly signed our souls away to him, plunging into the depths of despair after being deceived by a false promise.

We lost everything within a matter of months. But after meeting such a wonderful person there was no way that I would let you slip away.

I would go to the ends of the earth just to see your smile.

To hear your voice.

To feel your gentle embrace.

So I will find a way out of this. Please trust in me when I say that we will be able to smile together again.

No matter what it takes, no matter how many times I will have to relive the constant tragic memories of losing some friends and having that creature barge into our peace, I will find a way to protect you from your so called 'inevitable' fate.

You are all that I have. As long as you continue to be you, I will not stop fighting. Ataraxia is the goal, and one day you will have it.

I'm trying my hardest, Madoka. I'm doing all that I can. All I ask of you is to simply believe in me. We may lose everything else that we held dear, but no matter what happens we will always have each other. I will stay by your side through thick and thin, as that is what friends do.

I apologize if this sounds rather impetuous. I am aware that I cannot keep you from all of the dangers of this cruel world no matter how much I may want to. You just have so much more value to the universe than you think you do. So many need you, and if you were to cease existing we would lose the last petty thing us humans hold close to ourselves: hope. If we do not have hope, we have nothing.

Madoka Kaname, you are the epitome of hope for your family and friends, even if they don't quite realize it. You are the one thing keeping those you know with tragic pasts and sorrowful lives around today.

You keep me sane in this cold and chaotic world that we live in. You are the light at the end of the labyrinth of time that I go through over and over to make things right.

And I've failed you so many times.

I'm so sorry.

Accepting defeat will never be an option for me, however. As long as you are able to continue to live I won't mind if I don't live to see another day.

There is no way to guarantee it ending up perfectly, but I will do everything I can to ensure your happiness and safety.

Because you're all that matters to me.
