You say my love is all you need
To see you through
But I know these words are not quite true
“Please.”
His sienna eyes begged for
you to stay, they begged for you to forgive him. You knew he had something
going on behind your back, it wasn’t a girl but you knew it was something
dangerous if his rugged form didn’t tell you enough.
“I cannot live without
you, without your love, please [Name]…”
With a small sigh, you
smiled softly and accepted him into your arms once more. You knew he wouldn’t
lie to you and he did such things to keep you safe.
But what he had said, you
could tell in your heart that…
He could live without you
but he just doesn’t know it yet.
Here is the path you're looking for
An open door
Leading to worlds you long to explore
Go--if you must move on alone
I'm gonna make it on my own
“Go, they need you.”
You were never one for
holding him back. You ushering him towards the door with a cheery grin. Tsuna
looked at you worriedly, his eyes searching your form for any signs of hurt or
doubt. With a sigh you assured him once more that you’ll be okay on your own
and you had Natsu.
With a passionate kiss he left you on the door
step, promising to return as soon as possible.
Kiss me goodbye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Don't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality
“[Name]…”
His voice cracked as he
stared at the note on the floor.
You’d left to protect him.
As time goes by, I know you'll see this as me
I loved you enough to let you go free
Go--I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fears into the sky
It’s been a year since
you’ve left. He was still searching.
Today was the anniversary
of your disappearance.
The orange coloured box
sat on his table, the familiar neat handwriting on the card made his heart
swell with hope. Against Gokurdera’s warning, the brown haired boy had opened
the box. It contained a stainless steel charm on a necklace, in a form of a
pair of elegant wings.
“Fly high into the skies,
my love.”
Kiss me goodbye, love's mystery
All of my life I'll hold you close to me
Don't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality
Twenty One.
He wished for you to be
there with him when he had blown out the candles on his birthday cake.
He had met you when he was
16. Kyoko was long gone by then, he only saw her as a friend and you came into
the picture. You were always there, supporting him even when he was down,
reminding him that he could be better than what he was.
He owed you a lot.
“Tsuna, there’s something
that came in the mail for you,” Nana told the male, passing the small package
to him. Tsuna took it with a smile, thanking his mom before opening the
package.
To Tsuna and the Family,
The first CD, labled: Family, please watch it with
everyone. As for the second one, it’s a present for Tsuna. Happy Birthday!!
–[Name]
“Guys!! We’ve got
something from [Name]!!”
The announcement made
everyone rush towards the brown haired Vongola, causing a small outbreak of excitement.
Everyone urged the boy to insert the CD into the player as they sat in the
family room. Turing the TV on, everyone stared at the screen as you stared
back.
“Is it recording?”
You had asked with a
smile, and then looked right at the camera.
They could see how much
you’ve changed, you were looking pale and fragile but your cheery smile still
stayed the same.
“It’s been two years!! I
hope you’re all doing well!! As you can see I am a little bit sick at the
moment haha. I really do miss you guys.”
Everyone had looked at
Tsuna silently as he stared at the television; it was like a dream to be able
to see you.
“Truth is, I don’t really
have much time and I wanted to let everyone know that I really love you all and
thank you… for all the wonderful memories and adventures.”
At this point your eyes
had begun to water, you smile broke a little.
The tension in the room
rose as you continued.
“I’ve been diagnose with a
rare disease since I was a child and the doctors had said I would only live up
to 10 years at most but I showed them right? Haha”
The pain that you’ve been hiding
and keeping to yourself…
“This year will be my
last.”
You wiped the stray tear
that fell with a grin.
“And don’t you all start
babbling and crying you hear? I expect smiles!! Yes even from you Gokudera!!”
Kiss me goodbye, love's memory
You put the dream in my reality
After the video, Haru and
Kyoko had decided to excuse themselves first and after that almost everyone had
gone home, the shock still hasn’t set in yet but when it did… the anger and
pain started.
Tsuna sat up in his room,
door locked and laptop on. Holding in his tears he inserted the 2nd
CD that came with the package.
“Hey there Tsu-chan, I
know you must be pretty shocked and angry. I don’t blame you since I took the
coward’s way out. I didn’t want anyone to worry or baby me. You were all busy
after all… and really I didn’t want you to ever see me frail and helpless.”
You joked with a grin. He
could tell you had recorded this earlier, before the disease had gotten to you.
“I want you to remember me
as… the healthy and cheerful idiot that forgives you for everything, even
coming to dates a day late.”
He remembered, that day
they had a fight with a rival family and had missed a date with you. He smiled.
“You are the most
wonderful boyfriend I’ve ever had. You’re smart, handsome and full of awesome!
Don’t you ever forget that!!”
He chuckled bitterly and
nodded.
“Remember those wings that
I gave you? They belonged to my mother, she had given them to me for protection
and in hopes that I would be able to live life fearlessly. Now I pass those
hopes on to you. ”
His hand clenched on to the charm around his neck, the cold steel in his clammy palms.
“So for your 21st
birthday, I wanted to present you with a song, a performance of sorts!!”
Your soothing voice had
sung the lullaby.
“You put the dream… in my
reality…”
As the last verse was
sung, he noticed your teary eyes.
“I love you, Sawada
Tsunayoshi.”
It ended.
The tears began falling
from his hazel coloured orbs and he shouted in frustration, his fist making
harsh contact with the table he leaned on. That night he broke down for the
first time in 2 years.
A month later the letters
were received.
The location of your grave
was listed.
A/N: This isn't one of the best fics but recently I had the urge to replay FF12 (the gameplay sucks but I play if for Fran and Balthier lol). Kiss Me Goodbye by Angela Aki has always been my favourite of all the Final Fantasy sound tracks. It was the song that made the most impression on me and really this fanfiction does not do justice to it.
I thought about a sad love story for this song and somehow it reminded me of Tsuna. I haven't really written a Tsuna fanfiction before (I'm more used to writing brash and harsh characters like Gokudera or Hibari) so I'm sorry if he seems OOC. Critiques are accepted with open arms :D
