Mistakes&Sugar
Save my life twice, nearly kill me once (saving wins)
Misery walked over to Mizuki. She'd just found him in the evening at a ramen shop. She sat down.
"I'm sorry," Mizuki spit out suddenly.
"Why?" Misery asked, "What'd you do?"
"It's just...you wouldn't have nearly died if I'd have stayed back and you know," he said. Misery smiled.
"Do you want to know how you saved my life?" she asked.
"Yes. But I thought you didn't want me to ask-"
"You didn't ask. I offered to tell you," she said. She took a deep breath.
"I actually didn't realize it. You see, my parents focused all their energy on their lives. I was just an extra part of their life; they didn't actually need me. But at the same time, they needed to know that they hadn't failed, so that's why I was still around. Don't get me wrong; they loved me, but they didn't need me. So after they died...I didn't have anything because no one else needed me. So for ten days, I lay down on that goddamned couch, all alone. I would've starved to death if people let me, but then one day someone came to see me asking about something.
"I was a mess. I just stared at him. He asked me what was wrong with me, and I said that everything was fine with everyone else. That's what pissed me off the worse. So then he went and said that someone out there would suffer terribly if something happened to me. So I lay back down on the couch and ignored him. But then what he said came back to me, and I realized that I wasn't just some useless piece of junk that people liked to have around.
"I was finally needed by someone in the world. I don't know if you actually needed me, but you seemed to at least care, so that's how I was able to get off my sorry ass and get myself back together.
"I later discovered my bloodline. It's able to cast an illusion. That's what was supposed to happen when I went to find you," Misery said. Tears were begining to form at her eyes, "But it wasn't an illusion. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I felt that if I wasn't actually there, someone else-you- would be hurt. I did it because I was needed. That's how I did it! I did it by convincing myself I was needed. And that's how my life was almost ended."
"I'm sorry again," Mizuki said.
"STOP IT! Don't you get that that was what truly helped me the most?" Misery asked, "I was finally needed by someone! That's the key thing in a person's life! That's the most important factor about whether a person can live or not!"
"So you were never needed before?" Mizuki asked.
"I was needed. But only for people's own confidence. I was never there doing something that was worth everything to someone."
"That must have been the hardest thing ever," Mizuki said to Misery.
Misery looked at him and nodded. She stood up and walked away a little. No one's going to see me cry.
Mizuki grabbed her shoulder and pulled her closer. Their lips met and they kissed. Misery was shocked. No one had ever loved her like that before. Never. No one had felt any romance for her.
She pulled away again and started crying. Hard. She sat down on the ground and for the first time since a long time, started crying hard. She'd cried, but never let all these emotions pour free from her heart.
Mizuki walked over to her and touched her shoulder. She broke down and held onto him tightly, sobbing. For the first time since she could ever remember, someone was comforting her, not for their own sake, but because they cared about what happened to her.
"It'll be ok."
What happened after that? Does that matter at all? Considering everything that had happened, does it matter where they go? Does it matter how she continues living her life? She actually had a reason to live, now. So who cares what she's doing.
But they're alive. No one cared to notice where they went. If anyone bothered look, they'd see a shadow of Sugar in Misery's eyes, which is her sweet side, that's finally been able to look out at the world. If anyone who knew her before cared enough to look.
If anyone cared, they'd see that they're very happy now. They've rented an appartment in the Stone Village until they get the money for a house. They've got friends who care about them, and they've got eachother.
Most importantly, they've got a reason to walk through life every day. That's what can't be taken away from them. If something were to happen to them, they'd remember eachother and walk through the days that they lived to try to live for the other one.
You walk your life because you have to,
You live your life because you want to,
You love your life because you need to,
You see your life because you're forced to,
Love is what ties a person to life,
Life is what ties a person to people,
People are what ties a person to reason,
Reasons are what tie a person to love,
And finally, two people who've never done or had any of these bindings or reasons, they have one.
They have their life
They have their mistakes
They have there reasons,
They have their sugar,
They have some love,
That they've never had before
They're alive somewhere.
Look for them in your life,
Because everyone needs a reason.
Mistakes and Sugar
