Responsibility

Surrounded by a sea of green and peace, they bowed their heads down. All of the surrounding members were draped in drab funeral garb- an array of suits and formal dresses. In the center stood a boy with crisp autumn red hair, unlike the others who held their heads bowed, he stared at the tombstone. His eyes were strained, face flushed, and refraining tears. Nestled in his arms was a bouquet of flowers Shelly bought. True to tradition, the flowers were lilies, carnations, and a few lace white flowers in between. Tying the bundle together was a white ribbon that twined around his wrists.
It's my entire fault. I realize now that I was never a responsible brother, you were right- I am a selfish bastard. . . You never will forgive me, will you?
He paused, and then knelt on the neatly polished lawn. He offered the bouquet of flowers, and consciously placed his palm over the right side of his chest, fondly missing the rhythm of Albedo's pulse and frowning at the ache of his own. The red head drew in a sigh and stood up, he turned to those who had accompanied him, taking distinct notice of a pink haired girl, and a woman with emerald eyes. Even though Gaignun was no where in sight, his eyes continued to search, despite the knowledge that his brother had been missing for days. He had to find Gaignun. Not because he wanted to. He had to.
