Halved
A X/1999 drabble
Lady Bast

I resented you at first, when you came to me in dreams, but you persisted, insisted, and opened your heart.

I didn't know that twice the pain could be half the burden. I didn't know that I could forgive a killer. I didn't know that I could suffer and still be gentle.

I didn't know.

You held me in the darkness and did not belittle my sadness. Now, I offer you the same.

This new pain, I don't understand, but I may...I may. Until that time, Subaru, lie with me, share with me, halve the burden.

Because I love you.
