Flynn was embarrassed to admit that he had been really angry when he found out that his parents had been killed by monsters during their travels. Even more so embarrassed to admit that he had screamed.
Flynn's parents, merchants by trade, were finding it difficult to compete against Fortune's Market so they had left Zaphias's safety to go and make a deal with a herb supply owner in Halure.
On their way there they passed through Deidon's Hold. They had been too far away to get back in when the Lord of the Plains led his attack against the Hold. The doctor who examined their bodies and identified them could only offer the comfort that they had died in a single terror filled moment, completely painless.
Well, painless for the deceased.
Flynn couldn't remember a time when he had felt so… angry and so sad. He couldn't imagine himself surviving very long without the appropriate funds that his parents were suppose to provide him until he reached an age where he could stand on his own two feet.
He remembered thinking that he couldn't live without his parents.
He remembered thinking that if he was going to die he may as well die like his parents.
Quick and Painless.
He remembered rushing past Yuri hoping that his all knowing friend wouldn't realize where he was heading. He remembered hoping with all his heart that Yuri wouldn't follow him and get hurt too.
He remembered what it felt like when he first rushed past the protection of Zaphias's barrier blastia.
He remembered seeing the monster see him and turn with a malicious look in it's eyes.
He remembered that, to his great embarassment even to this day, he wet his pants he was so terrified.
He remembered realizing that more than anything he wanted to live.
He remembered hating his own body for freezing on him as he was too terrified to move.
He remembered feeling a tug on his jacket as the monster started his charge towards him.
But most of all, he remembered hearing labored breath, the smell of lavender, the familiar fabric against his face, and the arms wrapped so tightly around him that Flynn was a little concerned that he would die of Oxygen deprivation. He briefly wondered if he had died and if an angel was bringing him up to heaven, he'd been a good boy right?
"Don't you ever do that again." Flynn's head shot up to see Yuri staring down at him breathing heavily, his face red with exertion, "Do you realize that you could have died if I hadn't grabbed you?!" Yuri yelled his voice hoarse for some reason.
"But-"
"I don't want to hear your stupid excuses! You almost died! You didn't even care about how I'd be affected did you?!" he screamed so angry that Flynn thought that Yuri might just shove him back out of the barrier and leave him to the beasts. Still even as Yuri ranted on about just how stupid Flynn was his hold never once loosened.
"Yuri!" the furious seven year old stopped. "I'm.. sorry." he mumbled a little ashamed that he had worried Yuri this badly with his stunt, but still a little happy that someone cared about him that much.
Yuri looked down at him and sighed loosening his grip and standing up he offered Flynn a hand. "You wanna have dinner over at my place tonight?" Yuri asked rubbing the back of his head a little awkwardly as he tried to change the subject.
Flynn could only smile at the attempt.
"Yeah."
