Disclaimer: Ib does not belong to me. I am in not way associated with the author, the creator, the game, or the characters.
(Seriously - if I were, Ib would not be a 9-year-old :P)
A/N: Hey guys! Ohohoho I'm Marrrryyyy I'm Maaaarrrryyy Lmfao no, I'm just joking (:
So this is a song fic (Eternal Snow by Changin' My Life), and it takes place a few years after Garry and Ib escape from the haunted museum.
If you haven't played the game or seen the walkthrough (go check out Let's play Ib by PewDiePie - he is hilarious :D), I highly recommend it first before reading this FanFic, 'cuz you'd probably go like "What the heck?" if you didn't.
Anyway, on with the Fic -
Please R&R!
How long has it been since I feel in love with you?
My feelings only increase
Will you notice them
Even though I've never once put them into words?
Ib can only nod as Garry chatters excitedly about macaroons. Sitting at the café he had promised her they would absolutely go to once they escaped the warped museum, Ib feels reassured. She wonders when she had realized what the purple-haired man meant to her.
Like the snow, they just
Quietly keep accumulating
Garry knows what it is like to be alone. He keeps talking because he understands that Ib wants time to contemplate about their adventures … if that's what you can call them.
He wonders when he had realized what the mature, chestnut-haired teen meant to him.
Hold me tight – if this is how it feels like
I didn't want to know
What it is like to be in love with someone
I love you – my tears won't stop
And so I wish
That I had never met you
Ib keeps quiet on the way back to Garry's apartment. Everything that had happened so long ago feels almost like a dream to her … but the nightmares do not stop.
How long will I be thinking about you?
My sighs fogged up the window glass
Garry does not interrupt Ib's musing. He takes comfort in her gentle presence. The past years have been almost like a dream to him … but the nightmares do not stop.
Can a candle flame
Still melt my trembling heart?
Ib and Garry. Garry and Ib. No hesitation. Ib knows they need each other … to keep one another from falling apart from the horror of their experiences that plague them to no end. And because they simply are. One can no longer exist without the other.
Hold me tight, tight enough to break me
So that even in an icy wind or blizzard
I won't feel cold
I miss you – every time I think of you
Tonight, too, I hold
This half-finished muffler, all alone
Garry does not leave her. He cannot leave her. They live as one.
He protects her from her fears. She protects him from his doubts.
If she were to fall … he would raise her up. If he were to break … she would support him until he is ready to stand on his own two feet.
If there was an eternally falling snow
Could it hide my feelings for you?
Ib lives in his apartment. She is not embarrassed to show him who she is and what she is like.
"I love you, Garry."
Hold me tight – if this is how it feels like
I didn't want to know
What it is like to be in love with someone
I love you – the feeling wells up in my chest
I want to shout to the wintery sky
"I want to see you right now"
Garry accepts her for who she is. He is not embarrassed to show her what he is and what he is like. "I love you, Ib."
Ib is Garry. Garry is Ib. One can no longer exist without the other…
Because love is what keeps them together.
A/N: You have successfully read until the end of the fic! Congratulations! :P
So Ib x Garry is one of my favourite pairings (there aren't a whole lot of FanFics of them, sadly :/),
and they're so cute together (^w^), although I would place Ib older than she is in the game.
As always, please R&R! PM for any suggestions! Thanks (:
