Things We Never Have To Say

A/N + Disclaimer: Just something that popped up my head. Please no suing! Also credits to ladynadiad's script for the in-game quote in the beginning of this fic.

Loss was something they both shared.

Pain was something they both wished they could erase.

A sheltered childhood was something they both had.

A near-death experience was – what one was clinging on to still – something they both endured.

Love is something that they were still struggling with but at least they were struggling with it together.

Tower of Rem

"…You allowed me to make that choice. If you tell me you've made your decision, I'll trust that you've thought it through. But that doesn't mean that I'll agree with your choice. If you make this choice, and the miasma disappears... I'll hate you. Everyone else may call you a hero, but I'll never forgive you."

"…"

The silence pervaded between the two teenagers for a long while until the ever so prudent melodist stood from her former sitting position and walked on ahead of the red-headed noble.

"…Tear, wait." The young noble held the melodist by the hand, clutching on as if she was going to go away forever. The gesture halted her tracks but her eyes were downcast; intent on boring holes on the cathedral library's marble floor.

"Tear please look at me." He pleaded to the young melodist who seemed to be uninterested in prompting his request. He cupped her chin with his right hand to try and force her to look up, only to be surprised by the tears that streamed down her face.

"…Luke, please let me go."

"Why? I thought you promised that you would watch over me." He let go of her face and held her free hand should she have any plans of escaping. He wasn't quite sure what he did wrong or what could have caused Tear to react this way but was sure as hell that he didn't want Tear's crying visage to be the last thing he sees before he dies. "Please tell me why you can't stay."

"You're…" She looked away from him once more, "such an idiot."

"You can call me whatever you want, but please Tear…I don't want to see you like this, especially not now." With that he held her into a tight embrace.

The melodist, who was now very much shocked, found it very hard to move her limbs but shortly returned the noble's gesture, encircling her arms around his neck. Luke placed his right hand down to the small of her back while his left played with her hair, combing down her silky brown locks as he made an attempt to cease the young girl's sobbing.

"You know I have to do this Tear," he whispered on her ear as she continued to sob quietly on his chest. "I don't want you or anyone else to suffer anymore."

Time flew by with neither Luke nor Tear keeping track of it. To them, what existed was the now and what was still going on. Tear knew that they had to leave soon but she found it very hard to let him go. In all honesty, she didn't want to leave him at all. She feared that this would be the last time she could ever see him, much less be in the situation they were in right now.

"I never wanted to leave…"

"But why did you walk away?"

"I wanted to forget…"

"Forget what?"

…That I care about you so much…

"Forget what, Tear?"

"Forget that I'm saying goodbye."

A/N: Okay that's part one guys. This one will be updated because I was inspired by a song! I have a tendency to finish stuff when I'm inspired. Sadly this will only be in two chapters (maybe three if I feel like it). So please enjoy and I know my writing has deteriorated, it has been a while since I last wrote. Please leave a review if you can, constructive criticism is always and forever will be welcomed!
