Because of You
It's been awhile, hasn't it?
All those battles feel like they happened yesterday, I can *still* remember all the shit you put me through.
My cries for help as I struggled to carry Gaignun's bloody body across the wartorn battlefield, that other time where I was fighting to rescue MOMO from you? Damn' you really were a massive pain in the ass!
That time I killed you in the space time anomaly, it was the first time I truly felt afraid. The guilt just- hanging on me, come to think of it you don't know the actual feeling of killing your own brother feels like do you?
I guess it doesn't matter, considering how many Kirschwasser's you've killed you don't really have sentiment or sympathy inside you at all.
To feel your warmth, your familarity lingering inside me again. I couldn't think of losing you again Albedo.
I just couldn't think anymore when I killed you. At the fact all my siblings were gone- I couldn't live a world if I was alone.
But really, it's got me thinking recently- why I tolerate your stupid behaviour, your poetic dumb remarks and that stupid smirk of yours.
But- after all this time, i finally understand why it actually makes alot of sense.
Why I keep fighting on despite the odds, why I move on with a smile on my face.
Why I have the undying courage to protect others rather than myself, it's simple really-
It's because of you.
It actually makes us stronger, it makes us face the doubt in ourselves straight in the eyes like the piece of worthless shit it is!
It makes us beileve, it makes us realise what's important.
It's strange, how we learn from our past mistakes Albedo, you wouldn't think you could learn from senarios that horrifying but I have a pretty long good damn' list of the reasons why I've changed because of your actions.
I guess in a way this makes Gaignun happy too, he would never shut up about that "rashness" of mine!
God, all that worrying he's doing- he might as well be my old man at this rate!
Heh, I've probably made you tired hearing me talk all this time I should let you get to your long awaited sleep Albedo.
"I quite enjoyed that actually, it's music to my ears Rubedo. Despite that change you rambled about- I'm just glad my Rubedo hasn't changed too much. I like you quite the way you are! I wouldn't want you any other way!"
At least you can't annoy me in public anymore, that was PRETTY annoying.
"Oh? Who says I can't?"
Albedo, get off me!
Hey, cut it out-! Hahahaha!
The day ended like that, one good big discussion about out past, what does the future hold?
Who knows.
But it doesn't matter, I'll be strong enough to tackle it on!
And it's all thanks to you.
