I See the Light

Chapter 10: Three Years Later

Feferi and Eridan were buried next to each other after their families were notified of their deaths. And it was also mentioned that they became a couple. At their funeral, they placed seeds between their bodies so something beautiful may grow to symbolize the beauty they had. Within a month, a bright red flower was growing between them. But no one had placed seeds like that at their graves. They decided that the flower didn't need to symbolize their beauty, but to symbolize the love they shared. And they say if you look at the flower closely, there seems to be little hearts ingrained in the petals.

It still grows to this day. It dies in the winter, but once spring returns, that flower is back up and growing. This flower has been dubbed "The flower of two young lovers' undying love".

Aradia never left Sollux's side when she was finally discharged from the hospital. She stayed by his side, only leaving to shower, go to the bathroom, and brush her teeth. Three years later, before they were about to pull the plug, he woke up. He first looked around the room before he saw Aradia. His first words were to her. "I hope I'm in heaven, because I see the most beautiful angel beside me." Aradia didn't stop crying and held onto her dear love interest as she did so.

Sollux is still in physical therapy to gain control of all movements once again. They had to do brain surgery to keep him alive. The bullet was removed from his brain and a portion of his brain had to go too. But overall, he is doing well. And Aradia's scars have been given a special ointment to remove them. She wanted to turn them down, but knew that she wouldn't be able to get very far in an occupation with them. The scars have faded greatly in the time she's used it and she has never looked more beautiful.

Present day…

Tavros had been given prosthetic limbs about two years ago so he may be able to walk again. Because of the success, Tavros had never looked happier. He was much more outgoing and confident. He was walking through the park when he saw people gathering around a juggling street performer. Tavros, curious about what this was about, walked over and saw it was a man his age juggling clubs on a unicycle. The face seemed familiar, but he almost couldn't place it.

Until he spoke.

"Thanks for up and coming on out to see me. Cash in the hat and I'll be here all week." He said in the same voice he used to love hearing. Once people cleared, Tavros approached him. "Gamzee…?" he asked. The man looked at him and his eyes widened. "Tavbro…?" Tavros smiled brightly and the two embraced happily. They started babbling about how they thought they'd never see each other and how they had been. "Hey, Tavbro. You owe me a coffee shop stop."
"Oh yeah, I do."
"Let's go, then!"
"Can I ask you one thing though?"
"Anything, bro."
"Can we keep it like old times?" Tavros looked up at him hopefully. Gamzee smiled and gestured for him to follow.

"Just like old times." He said as they went to the nearest coffee shop. And for once in his life, Tavros had never been happier to be around someone than he was now.
