Based On 3rd Life

Contains: Sad feels, kinda happy ending
_______________________________________

Ren's death had taken you by shock.
You hadn't expected Martyn to kill him.
You hadn't expected to cry so much.

You hadn't expected the fear that washed over you when Ren approached you.

You had been caught off guard, so caught up in your grief that you never even heard him approaching.

"You're crying." Was the first time you knew he was there.
You turn, looking up from your seated position on the ground.

You immediately scramble back, away from him.
Something that seems to deeply trouble Ren.

"Y/n?" He asks, reaching for you.
As he realises your fear it appears in his own eyes.
He steps back, pulling his arms back.

You watch him carefully, sword too far out of reach.
He would reach it before you.
You have no way to defend yourself.

As you look back at Ren you see his attention followed yours to your sword.
He knows now where it is.

Ren's head turns slowly back to yours. 
"I'm not going to hurt you."

You want to believe him, you do.
But how can you?

Ren looks pained when you don't relax. He goes to reach toward you again but stops his arm shortly after he started to move it.
"Y/n.. I-" he casts his eyes down. "Please believe me. I don't want to hurt you. I never have wanted to and, even though I'm on my final life, I still don't."

He waits for some response from you, anything. But you can't bring yourself to say anything.

You want to, you do, but are you really sure you can trust him?
Can you really know that he won't turn on you when it suits him?

Ren sighs. "I understand." His words are quiet, full of the sorrow he has been showing you the whole time.
He turns slowly, beginning to walk away from you.

You screw you eyes shut, tears beginning to fall once more.
You get to your feet as fast as you can, running toward your partner.

He hears you running, turning right as you get to him.
You can't stop, the two of you collide falling to the ground.
You're both lucky it doesn't do much damage.

Ren holds you, but not too tight, as if scared you'll change your mind.
But you won't.
You know you won't.

"I lost you once. Please don't leave me again."
