A/N: Here is day six- touch! Here's another angsty one. I don't know why I started out with fluff and then did angst, but I did, and here we are. Thank you so much for your support for these! It means a lot to me, especially when you say I did a lot with few words, because that's exactly my goal here- constraining myself to 100 words, no more, no less, forces me to think outside the box. It forces me to take the emotional core of the story and condense it. So thank you for that!
"I don't think I can do this anymore." X's voice sounds as faraway as his eyes look.
Zero gapes, staring at X as he sags on the ground. "What is it? Are you hurt? X?"

"Please don't make me fight anymore…" But then Zero wraps an arm around him, and X sighs. "Okay, Zero, I'll go…" he mumbles. "Won't quit, I'll fight for you…"
