Pretend there was no wedding. Shouldn't be too hard, trolololol. Please enjoy.
Mount Ordeals was a lonely place.
Of course, Kain never really expected to feel anything other than solitude here. But he would be lying if he did not admit to being at least a little homesick and isolated.
Sometimes, he wanted nothing more than to just go back. Cecil would have no qualms about welcoming him home with a smile and open arms. Gods knew he missed being held by those arms. Though, in retrospect, he missed many things, things that would have continued to happen on a daily basis had he stayed.
It was odd how one could miss what used to be routine. Rather, it would leave them with a sense of loss, like they had taken particular things for granted.
Although, Kain did appreciate those past moments of familiarity with Cecil, did enjoy those times when kisses and gentle words were the norm. Honestly, they had become so habitual that he had done them without thinking, which was rare as a whole.
But none of those things would occur here. He was alone. Nothing on this mountain would show him any kind of affection.
Those things in the past, which seemed so miniscule at the time, were what he longed for the most. And, perhaps it was a little too romanticized, but he did wonder on occasion if Cecil was indeed waiting for him to return, wondered if the paladin missed those very same things.
Whether he liked it or not, these last few years spent away had certainly made him pay a price.
Author's Notes: Yeah, I'm just gonna save the majority of my notes for down here from now on. Honestly, I'm still trying to cope with how long this is going to be. ^^;; And I think I did this theme in a roundabout sort of way, but it's better than nothing. *is doubtful of quality* :/ Please Review.
