You Found Me: A Story of Sky and Syd
Disclaimer: #Plays with her Wes action figure dejectedly# Not yet. Though when I rule supreme I fully plan on owning it.
Challenge: Fight
Timeframe: Erm…Post Endings, I suppose. Heh.
"Why do you have to be like this?"
"I'm doing what's best for you. For both of us."
"It's not fair to me."
He stopped then, looking at her hard. Tears prickled at the back of his eyes as the petite woman entirely in pink curled into a ball on his bed. The broken look in her perfect azure orbs was all his fault.
The voice that lectured him told him that if he didn't do it now that eventually it would all get worse. That his stupid tendency to be one hundred percent devoted to SPD and being the very best ranger he could be would leave her alone and neglected. Fleetingly the image of Syd crying alone in a bedroom while a disappointed boy that looked vaguely like himself clutched a toy SPD morpher flashed in Sky's mind.
She was full-on sobbing now, hiding her face in his pillow.
Sky tried to look away. It was hard enough hearing her heart break; he didn't want the visuals scarring his psyche as well.
He couldn't stop staring at her, despite his best efforts. Even like this, Sydney was still so beautiful. Sky didn't know why Syd had even looked twice at him. Nothing he'd done warranted the attention from the devastatingly attractive pink ranger.
The relationship had been a nice ride while it later. Better to hurt her now than ten years down the road.
Oh God. She'd stopped crying and was looking at him again.
"I can't believe you," Sydney whispered. "I guess it was my fault for letting myself believe that you meant it when you said you loved me."
Syd's words cut through Sky like a knife. She was right, of course, but it stung.
"I did mean it," Sky responded in a growl. "I'll just end up hurting you more if it doesn't end now."
Syd unfolded herself from his bed and strode to the sliding doors.
Turning back to him, the frame outlining her tiny figure, Syd stared at him.
"This isn't over, babe. I'm going to fight for you."
Wow, this was short. It seemed longer when I was writing it…
