Warnings: This, my first true 100-word drabble, can be constued as having shonen-ai overtones; I don't care if you read the bond as sexual or familial, though. Doesn't matter; it's there.
Beware the angst.
Eulogy (Words You Will Never Hear)
I have always known that we will be parted. One of us will die first and leave the others behind. One of us will be left alone when the other two are gone. I have always known this.
I have always known that our parting would break you. Now he is gone, and we are still here; I will that you should die before me to save you from that pain.
But we stand and face the Traitor side by side, in unflinching accord, and I realize that you are stronger than I had ever known.
And we go together.
