ME: Hey, everybody! Yes, this is me, Dragon Empress the huge Flameshipper, writing a Valeshipping fic…somebody shoot me, please…

CHIBI JENNA: Hmph. I'd be more than happy to. 

ME: Oh, shut up, child.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GOLDEN SUN, AND NEITHER DO YOU. WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU DO…

ME: And also, I know I said I wasn't going to post anything else for a long time…I'm really supposed to be revising for exams, heh…but Akiko make me post this. Really, she held a gun to my head, I swear… (Coughs.) Okay, well, not quite…

So, yes. Bad Dragon Empress, bad. (Slaps self.) Must revise for exams…really…

When she is with him, she screams more than she sighs.

When he is in her bed, he dreams of bright, blue winter skies.

And they're not in love; not even close. Not at all. They simply need somebody to keep them sane, in this world where everything has gone all crazy.

They're in love with other people. They're in love, both of them, but can never find the right words to make sense of it all.

So here they are.

It's fucking, not loving.

It's brutal.

And it hurts as much as it pleasures. It burns with a sharp, hot pain that love shouldn't have. Not like this.

She cries afterwards too, she always cries around him. He makes her sad, he makes her feel like she's worthless…like nobody can ever love her, because he sure as Hell can't.

He doesn't mean to make her feel that way though. But he always does. He always does because that's how she makes him feel too…even though he'll never cry about it. Not in front of her. He just couldn't.

And yet he can't end it.

Neither of them can.

There's nothing to end.

It's just fucking, night after night. Time after time.

They've got nothing they can give each other anymore. Not even friendship.

And it all burns down at the end…

"Isaac…" She waits until he's dressed, always. "I don't love you." Every time, she says it.

"Jenna…" He always replies. "I don't love you either."

When they're together, life tastes bitter.

And the sun shines, but guilt remains their prison, locking them away.

It's brutal.

ME: …yeah. I definitely took myself by surprise with this one. But oh well, I rather like it, despite the fact it's a ship I never thought I'd write…

And now, to top it all off, I must lock myself away in a little room and study Physics 'til my eyes bleed…joy…
