'The tears in your eyes silenced my pleads. Your longing for someone, . . . anyone, made me open my eyes. This is why I want to whisper a mere 'thank you,' my hero. You've taught me love.'
Was this real, or was I in a dream without the despair of time? The fields of violets rolled on and on until the end of the universe. Pyreflies danced amongst them, and I could feel death's prolonged screams of solitude. Their souls sung with melancholic melodies, wanting to be free. That is when I could hear him.
His whimpering increased in volume. I tried to extend my hand out to him but his image became blurry. With a sudden flash of white shielding my eyes, I remembered his warm and comforting touch caressing my bare skin that day. I would never want to let go. His golden hair would fall onto my shoulder as we embraced. His smile . . . his bright, sapphire eyes glistened every time we exchanged glances. They reflected his loyalty toward me! It has been a long time ever since our naive acts and I never got the chance to express to him these burning emotions deep inside my heart. As I walked on for what it seemed like thousands of years, I began to understand his inaudible words of regret.
"I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand . . .
Maybe if we'll still dream, we'll have the chance."
His shadowed image arose from the violets, careful of crushing any of them. This was how he was before; so careful of holding my heart, gentle not to release my tears. He turned around to face my trembling self. More than I have expected, he stood there with a smile pasted onto his cherubic visage. "Yuna" he breathed, "I'm sorry for breaking our promise. I failed to bring you to my home."
I failed to say anything myself and zealously wrapped my arms around his neck. "Tidus!" I exclaimed, crying a single tear for him. Maybe it was sorrow, maybe it was thankfulness . . . thankful that I could be with him until we would fade away. I clung onto his familiar build as he slipped his arms around my waist. This was all I ever wanted . . . to be united without a consequence.
Tidus lovingly wiped away the continuous tears of mine while whispering soothing and affectionate words to silence my cries. This emotion, happiness, was something I have not experienced ever since our discovery of love at Malcalania lake. "I've been searching for so long" I managed to say, feeling my hands become numb behind his sturdy neck, " . . . please don't leave me here alone."
"I will never leave you. Not ever again." His fainted pink lips parted slowly, taking in a deep sigh of appeasement. "I'll make it up to you. Our dreams await at Zanarkand..."
