My Love Story
"The Promise that I Couldn't Keep"
"Just some moments after Tatsumi freed himself and his armor evolved, Esdeath launched against him with an insane speed, however he managed to block her attack with a speed nearly on par with hers, something that surprised the frost woman and me as well. He then proceeded to fight hand on hand on equal ground against her while i made sure to kept at bay general Budo with shots of energy that not only countered his teigu attacks, but also damaged his heavy armor, something that infuriated the man even more."
"Following an attack by Tatsumi who managed to make Esdeath jump quite high to avoid it. My teammate then told me to take advantage of this moment by firing a direct shot to the ice general while she was still in mid-air, after doing this i felt how everything froze around me and some instants later i saw that she was no longer but was walking towards me with a bloodlust look on her face, confused by this i watched as Tatsumi took by surprise the sadistic woman with an extremely fast blow that she could barely avoid by just a few centimeters. The fearsome general of the empire was ecstatic by the combat abilities displayed so far by my boyfriend."
"Meanwhile a completely enraged Budo began to launch a large amount of thunder rays with Adramelech that impacted everywhere on the colosseum. While i was trying to dodge the lethal attacks i stumbled and one of those rays almost hit me if not by Tatsumi using his body to protect me. He then asked me if I was okay, to which i replied with a smile that i was alright. However, his armor received the direct impact of several rays, which overcharged it by the great amount of energy received making that Incursio deactivated and after a brief moment my boyfriend collapsed on the ground and began to yell of an intense pain flowing on all his body, so i immediately ran to his aid. After checking him i strongly suspected that some kind of poison entered his body.'
"The armored general then prepared to charge an extremely powerful attack with all his remaining energy while saying to us that he was going to make sure to erase any trace of our damned existence. Esdeath tried to calm down the enraged man and told him to capture us alive, however he ignored her and proceeded to launch his final attack."
"Decided to protect my beloved, and no matter the risks i charged Pumpkin with my spiritual energy and the strenght of my emotions. A clash of energy beams happened and after some moments of struggling that seemed an eternity, Pumpkin shot of energy triumphed and blasted the great general away who disappeared out of my sight except for a few pieces of his armor."
"After the beam clash finished my teigu got overheated and ended up completely disabled. Then i collapsed to the ground while Tatsumi shouted my name, he then went and held me in his strong arms. He thanked me for saving him but adviced me to stop being so reckless, i said to him that I was very happy to have been his girlfriend and for all the precious moments we shared together. Tatsumi tried to kept me awake by saying that he needed me and told me the following words: 'I love you!' after hearing those words I was filled with complete happiness, but my body went limp and i lost consciousness while listening to his sobs and cries of despair."
"After some time of been unconscious, with a lot of effort i get up and observed that the huge coliseum was heavily destroyed with enormous pieces of ice around the frozen corpse of Esdeath, who i pited for her unrequited love. Snowflakes began to fall on me, while i was still feeling exhausted and all my body was in pain, but i didn't cared and i approached Tatsumi who was resting on his knees to tell him that it was time to return home. However, when i was near him i saw that he didn't responded to any of my words so i rushed towards him, and was when i realized that he defeated Esdeath but by the price of sacrifing his life to do it ..."
"After a brief moment of shock, I fell near his still warm body and began to cry inconsolably by the fact that I could not protect his smile despite having given my everything. I just wished to be in that moment back in the base sitting on the couch with Tatsumi drinking hot chocolate while at the same time sharing tender caresses and sweet kisses..."
"Despite my strong will and attitude, i was just a teenage girl who fell deeply in love with a great boy who reciprocated my feelings, but who was now gone. I hugged him with all my remaining forces while cold tears fell down from my cheeks to the frozen ground."
"Then i kissed him on the lips and I said him with a warm smile that my love story had been sad and tragic, but at the same time beautiful and filled with so many happy moments we shared together that will always be in my heart..."
Author's note:
Not gonna lie guys, i almost cried while writing this final chapter...
I plan to write some sort of epilogue but this story was too depressing that i don't know if i would be able to write it any time soon :(
I hope you liked this sort of 'What if' of the rescue of Tatsumi and the subsequent battle against Budo and Esdeath from Mine's perspective. Also, if you like/love this pairing i recommend you to read my other fic: 'Kill the Hardships'
Thanks for reading!
