This is something I wrote one night after rereading a couple fanfics based on the game. I don't really know what else to say since there isn't much to say about this. I mean, it's just a drabble.

Enjoy the short read though. I apologize for any grammatical errors though.

DISCLAIMER - I DON'T OWN TALES OF THE ABYSS. IF I DID, I WOULD BE REALLY HAPPY.


Contemplating

"What am I going to do…?"

Luke fon Fabre lied on his bed. With a sigh, he shuffled around frustratingly until finally decided to rest on his side.

"Dammit. I can't think of anything."

He pouted quietly.

Just get her a damn plush toy!

He bolted upwards, startled by the sudden scream in his inner mind.

"A-Asch?!"

Why are you being a dumbass, dreck?! Her birthday is coming up soon, right?! You haven't thought of anything because YOU'RE OVERTHINKING ABOUT IT!

"But I wanted to make her day special…"

Luke grumbled underneath his breath, crossing his arms in a rebellious manner.

And do you think I give a shit? Unlike you, I have to watch you grovel about love and crap EVERY SINGLE DAY. 'Oh. What am I going to do for Tear? Should I comb my hair for Tear? Oh my Lorelei, what happens if I have nose hairs sticking out? Tear is never going to talk to me again.'

"I do not sound like that."

You sound like a prissy schoolboy all hyped up about impressing his new girlfriend though. I was just acting the type, you know?

"Hey. You're just pissed that you lost your chance with Natalia."

Low blow, you fucking ass.

"Go to sleep. I think I know what to get her."

Whatever. Good night.

Ever since his return, Luke realized that Lorelei used his power to combine their bodies together. However, as a result of Asch dying first, Luke was able to have full control of the body due to his robust, unrelenting willpower.

Of course, Asch would say his two cents whenever Luke had some issues. It's not that Asch bothered him or something.

It's just that he can be real infuriating, especially when he was spending time with Tear. It must be his way to vent out his pissed off mood since he couldn't get at his cousin anymore.

With one more sigh, Luke got up from his bed and exited his room.

"Maybe I can find another cheagle plush to complement her other one…"

END.


Honestly, I don't think Tear received a cheagle plush in the game. I think I got the cheagle idea from a certain fanfic. I forgot which one though. Whatever it was, I thank the author of it from the bottom of my heart. Because of you, it propelled me to write a little something for one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

K. Later.
