AN: I've been very hesitant to post this until after a few pushes from Jen-King of Bamboo and Thingbe...so...

By the way, I just finished drawing this: http: // kazuki-kun the-artist .deviantart. com / art/ YxF- Plushie -Love- 15761 5187 (take out the spaces) That's my DA.
It's also my avatar in case you haven't already noticed. XD

I don't own Tales of Symphonia.


As if the distance between us wasn't already big enough, he muses the day after Forcystus' death. He can nearly taste the freshly spilt blood of his partner in the air. It lingers there, like the feeling of despair and grief that lingers on his fingertips because he can't forget it.

He could always see Forcystus, but hardly ever had the chance to get close, to embrace him and properly look at him, and stare into that breathtaking single red eye. On both sides of the clear glass wall they stood, just staring, seeing one another through nothing but memories, only memories, because of that wretched clear glass wall, the wretched distance between them, the wretched barrier, the wretched, wretched system they lived with and the wretched, wretched world they lived in…

The barrier shattered and reconstructed itself that day, taking Forcystus with it. Taking his (his) Forcystus (stunning turquoise hair and beautiful ruby-red eye included) along with it…

I can't…see your face anymore…


Never again.

Never again can he truly see that face, nor feel those warm lips press against his own.

Never again will that single hand grasp his wrist as if to never ever let go.

Never again.

Never say never.

"Never."


Because of a simple barrier, he reaches out to grasp his beloved person's hand, only to hit the ever-present glass wall and once again fall into despair.

Because of a simple barrier, he is being ripped to shreds and being torn apart from the inside out, the wall in front of him standing still and solid, as if watching him, pitying him.

Because of a simple barrier, things between them are never simple enough. The barrier wall always stands strong, leaving them trapped on either side of it for the most part.

Because of a simple barrier, he treasures the time they spent together even more…

He still wants to smash it, this wretched barrier between them, but if it breaks again, it will also take him with it…


His real mirror shatters into tiny pieces. He picks up a shard of the glass and stares at his own reflection longingly. He sees a dull pair of light blue eyes instead of a single powerful deep red eye.

I just want to see your face.

I just want to be with you.

Not just this once.

"Always."


I only want…

You.



AN: Yuan always ends up being so damn clingy whenever I try to write him...
Ugh...

Anyway, I rather like this.
Fear not; they will get a happy ending in another one of my stories. –Spoiler- It involves Angel Forcy XDD
