Character(s) : Lem, Ilyusha
Summary : I was lost... Lirin, she was gone. And Ilyusha, I had left him to die.
I don't know anything.
Those words, back then, had come so easily to me. They had slipped from my tongue in such desperation, and I hadn't dared to meet the guard's eyes.
I don't even know who he is!
Such treacherous words had escaped my lips, I had gazed into those wide shocked amethyst eyes for a single moment, before turning away.
I could still remember it. The memory was as fresh to me as though it had only occured yesterday.
That hand, which had reached out into the air, as though hoping for someone to take it, I had seen it slump.
Those fingers, grasping for something unseen, had fallen.
Those eyes, so empty, and yet, so full of emotion... They had pleaded with me. Don't abandon me, they had said, don't leave me here to die.
And I had. I had abandoned him. Left him to die. The look in those wide eyes... That moment I had spoken those words, I had broken him.
All... to save Lirin.
But in the end, she had died as well. I remembered the moment well, she had had a smile on her face... and she had been happy. There was no pain, not even in the moment of her death.
And I was lost. Lirin, she was gone. And Ilyusha, I had left him to die.
There was nothing left...
I had despaired for so long. Lost in darkness.
But then... Ilyusha had returned.
He had returned. He had come back to me.
I had been so happy! So relieved!
This time, I wouldn't leave him. I would stay with him, forever.
In this paradise which is ours.

A/N - Just a small-ish drabble. I've just been re-reading 'Blessed by Profe', a ficlet by 'cloudsgrl', and inspiration hit.
