Chapter 4: Dark Middles: His Angel
Sazabi woke to find that he was on the floor with Chronos curled up beside him. He then took note that both their Soul Drives were exposed and were touching. 'Of course, because we're bonded now,' he thought and kissed Chronos's helm.
Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my savior
In my time of need
Blinded by faith
I couldn't hear
All the whispers
The warning's so clear
Chronos woke up gently to see Sazabi staring down at him and said, "that was, amazing."
"Chronos, I need to tell you the truth," said Sazabi. Chronos felt his world crumble slowly.
"What is it," asked Chronos and Sazabi looked at him sadly.
"Before this, before everything happened between us, I…wanted you to join the Dark Axis and become one of us. To use as an advantage against the humans," Sazabi admitted and Chronos was crushed, his blue eyes wide.
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
Now mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn to real
You broke the promise
And made me realize
It was all just a lie
"Then all that you felt for me was a lie? You were planning this from the beginning," demanded Chronos, his Soul Drive now fully hidden in his chest.
"No Chronos, never. The feelings I have for you are true and real. That was before when I saw your face that my intentions had changed," said Sazabi, "you changed me Chronos, my whole life has changed because of you and I thank you for that."
"That doesn't change the fact you didn't tell me that sooner," said Chronos, narrowing his eyes, "I trusted you."
Sparkling angel
Couldn't see
Your dark intentions
Your feelings for me
Fallen angel
Tell me why?
What is the reason?
The thorn in your eye
"I would never betray you Chronos, never. After meeting you and getting to know you, you changed my ways. But I cannot help myself but be torn between my love for you and the oath I took to the Dark Axis long ago when I was created," Sazabi said to the Gundam.
"Then which did you choose?"
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
[Chorus]
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
Sazabi looked at him uncertain before finally choosing, "If I had to choose, I would choose the love I now share with you. I care for you too much to see you as the enemy now. But I cannot break free from these shackles that the Dark Axis has on me. I do not want to harm you in anyway and if I would've met you before I took the oath, I would have sided by you in an instant." Chronos's gazed softened and felt his Soul Drive swell with gladness.
This world may have failed you
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have chosen
A different path of life
The smile when you tore me apart
"You are my angel Chronos. And I don't want to change that," said Sazabi when he pulled Chronos in his arms. "Sazabi," whimpered the Gundam as he wrapped his small arms around the commander's neck.
[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn in to real
You broke a promise
And made me realize
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
