You Don't Have To Be Alone~ XTale Chara x reader [book 2/2]

8~ Ikanaide (part 1)

Chara's theme, I'm not fully confident in my translation skills yet (I can't understand a lot of Kanji yet, if you didn't know I've been learning Japanese) so I googled a translation and this song fits XChara perfectly so there we go

"How do we counteract hate?" You asked. Instead of attacking upon seeing your friends and family standing there ready to help, you broke down crying. 

"Simple, love." Dream replied. Just like how fear didn't have an effect as long as hope existed, hate can't prosper if love is present. 

Suddenly, Dream shot an arrow at your chest. It hit and dissolved into a cyan mist. Suddenly, you felt a little better. Everyone gathered around you hugging you tightly. They all knew the fragile condition of your soul, that you could die any minute. Yasi cried into your shoulder, smiling softly. 

Your senses were no longer dulled and the fog around your soul had disappeared. They all forgave you for the things you might have said and done while under hate's influence, but you still felt bad. 

Five years later

Yasi was eighteen now, she was off to college with Sam, both of whom were going to the same college. Paige preferred to go back to her home universe and live with her parents, you couldn't blame her for that. The final train left in about 25 minutes, and the two now college students were ready to go. The train ride was about an hour, so both brought things to do. 

You wanted so badly to say "don't go" but what good would that do? These two had to grow up eventually (though Sam had only aged a year) and leave off on their own. Still, the experience was sad. 

"Don't worry, I'll call you every day!" Yasi said, hugging you then grabbing her suitcase and getting on the train. Sam was already on the train, not needing to say goodbye to their dad since he had moved into a house 5 minutes away from their college. 

You could only watch as the two of them took off into the late evening light, leaving you behind. You didn't want to cry, that's for sure, but you couldn't just sit there emotionlessly as your own child left you. 

Chara held your hand as you watched the train glide away into the evening. At least they were happy, you thought to yourself as the train glided out of sight completely.
