A/N: I love this couple! I finished watching the second season of Ef a couple of days ago and decided to write this short story. The story in Yuu's POV, and I don't feel like putting the proper Japanese endings on the names so don't ask. Also, if you are reading this and haven't finished watching both seasons, I suggest you wait to read. Hope you enjoy.
I was stuck. I was stuck in the past where Yuuko was. I couldn't do anything but stay in one place. The world around me was moving forward as I watched. I felt like I couldn't move. The wall behind me was cold, where my hands were staked. Or at least that's what it felt like. I needed to help Yuuko, to protect her. I couldn't though, for it was too late. She was already gone.
I started struggling against the force holding me back. My hands wouldn't budge. I had to see Yuuko one last time. Then there she was, standing in front of me, with her hands pulled close to her chest. My eyes widened. Her reflection shone onto my glasses. She looked so fragile and scared. My struggling increased. I had to go see her again. My hands hurt moving around with the stakes through them, but I couldn't give up. The stakes were ripped out of the wall. I was finally free.
Yuuko had set me free.
A/N: Oh my gosh. I am going to start crying. I felt so bad for Yuu when Yuuko died. I hated him in the first season, but now I love him and want to give him the biggest hug ever. Yuuko's death was the saddest one I ever watched in my entire life. Please Review. Flames are welcome.
