To Them, Who Found Each Other

I hastily got up from my bed and ran towards the exit of the house. I have to find them. I want to, for the first, and probably the last time, tell him everything. I do not know where they went but it's not as if I had no idea. That place. The place we always go to and have those small, frivolous talks. The place where I got to know him deeper and he got to know me back. That place is the only chance I have, and there, I saw them. Slowly turning into ashes that was being sucked away by the moon.

-ESTES!!!

The two of them stood in shock as if seeing a miracle right before their eyes.

-Why are you leaving me?! Why do you have to leave me alone? Who am I going to talk to every night? Who is going to give me food? You are the only one I have! You are the only one I have ever had! You are the only one I want to have! So why are you doing this to me?! Please come back to me! I swear I'm going to clean the house better! I swear I will make myself worthy of you! I swear I will tease you no more! And … and …

Tears flow from the left side of my eyes but none from the right, typical of someone with dark and light attributes.

I was unsure if what I was about to say would change anything but still, I have to.

-And I think I probably love you!

Estes was in utter shock of what he had heard. It took him a few moments but finally managed to give an answer.

-I also probably loved you long since, Lunox. I would not have saved you if I did not.

Miya lowered her head over what she heard from Estes. Estes, on the other hand, gave off an expression I never thought I would ever see from him – a smile, a genuine smile.

-Promise me you will come back!

-I will.

-And when you do, come and join me in my dream world!

-I promise.

The last speck of him drifted into the moon as I was left alone, here in the vastness of the forest, clinging to the little hope that the person I love will one day come back.
