A/N: This is my first fanfic for Mnemosyne. This story is told in Mimi's POV. Might be a little angsty so… there. Enjoy.
Until Then
By: Fei
We are immortals. We are beings that don't die. Others might envy us, others might find our immortality a gift but I don't…but still I'm thankful.
I have been with Rin for as long as I can remember. We spend almost everyday of our lives with each other. Rin is strong and I know that, but whenever we receive requests to find something or do something, I can't shake off the feeling of being scared…Scared that Rin has to go out and do dangerous tasks all by herself.
I'm scared. What will happen to me without Rin? I know that we are immortal. I know that no matter what happens to Rin or how many times she might die trying to finish her job, she will always return to me, Rin will always come back cause she is immortal.
But being immortal doesn't mean that we don't feel pain. It hurts to know that Rin is doing a dangerous job while I'm in our office, waiting for her to come back. Knowing that Rin is getting hurt hurts me the most. Knowing that Rin is feeling so much pain with every wound, broken bone and other merciless assaults made on her makes my body tremble and my chest hurt. Knowing that Rin is willing to face an angel knowing that it might end her life in order to protect the both of us makes my heart ache.
Knowing all of these makes me regret that we are immortals. It's because we are immortal that Rin is feeling so much pain, but being immortal is also the reason why I'm able to spend my life with Rin. That's why at the end of the day, I'm still thankful that I'm with Rin and that I am living this day knowing that Rin is beside me.
I don't know what will happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the day after that or in 50 more years of our eternal life, all I know is that many things will change but what I need to think about is today. I still don't consider our immortality a gift but until then, I'm happy that I'm immortal. Until then I'm thankful that I'm with the one I love the most and will continue to love all my life. Until then, I will live my everyday with Rin.
I love Rin and that won't change even in a million years. Rin is the reason why I don't tire living for so long. I love Rin and if being immortal means being with my Rin forever, then so be it.
We are immortals. We are beings that don't die. Others might envy us, others might find our immortality a gift but I don't…but still I'm thankful.
