[Angst to Fluff]

"Is this true? He was... killed? By whom? Why?—"

....

Silence filled the atmosphere. It wasn't awkward, it was filled with rivalry, anger, regret, guilt.

....

"It was him, wasn't it. Him. That bitch.."

*Hysterical laughter*
"I'm gonna kill him! He's dead. He's done!"

"..."

"I wasn't there for him! I— I replaced him, I didn't care for him! I was being selfish, I—

The other low voice cuts in, 'You were there for him, just not at that time, that was the only time where you couldn't ever help him. You didn't replace him, you had loved him from the start, you just found someone better. You cared for him, you're regretting it now, you care for him, you regret that you didn't "care" for him before his death. You were not selfish, you never were. I was observing you for a long time now. It's alright.'

The person with low voice embraced the crying hybrid in his arms, the hybrid was shorter than him a thousand times more, but he wouldn't had give a fuck about the height, the species, the trauma. The backstories.

He just embraced him tightly, 'I will be here for you when he isn't. He shall be looking upon you when you meet your unfortunate and painful demise, but he would be hoping that you'd live a hundred times more better than he ever did.'

The shorter cried and cried all day, but the taller only let the hot tears drip on him, scars forming painfully as it slowly burns away his skin, and dripping down to the cold snow. The hybrid heard small grunts and quiet cries from the taller, so he pulled away.

With tears staining his cheeks, he asked softly, "Are you alright?"

The taller nodded, still letting the hot tears burn his skin away, resisting the pain, resisting to scream. He pulled the hybrid into the embrace once again, "I— I am alright. You ar— You are not." He already started stuttering, was he actually okay?

The hybrid couldn't cry anymore, he felt as much pain as no pain, feeling numb as ever. The taller stroked his back, feeling his brown hair, "It will be okay. I will protect you. Even if it costs my life. Do not get too attached to me. For when I leave this world, you will grief greatly once again, and I will not be there to console you."

He smiled weakly, "Okay, but please be careful, I'm already—*cough* attached."

The taller hugged him tightly, sobbing silently, not wanting the pain to be seen by the person he was going to protect. The hybrid hugged back, "Why are you crying?"

'I was also a good friend of the dead, I miss him.'

He passed an Allium to the hybrid, 'Keep this safe, for it represents the friendship between my beloved.'

"Beloved?"
'Beloved.'

The taller picked the goat hybrid up, 'Do not be afraid, for I am just here to help you. My great heights should keep you safe, just not from my own species.'

He dropped him off at his home, 'Go in, I will keep you and your home safe and sound.'

He went in, and stored the Allium in a special box that requires a certain item that only the deities and gods have to open it.

The hybrid looked through the album in the box before shutting it, recalling all the sacred memories from it, tears running down his eyes, and letting out quiet sobs.

The taller looked in the house, 'Why are you crying, beloved?'

The hybrid looked at him, "...Beloved..?"

The taller smiled slightly, 'Sorry, you look quite like him, just with longer hair and twirled up horns.'

The hybrid smiled, "It's okay, if I remind you of him, you can call me his name whenever!"

The taller frowned, 'Sadly, I do not wish to replace him with his best friend. It would feel the most wrong.'

"..."

The taller turned away, 'Sorry, did I make you uncomfortable?' And put his huge fingers at the door, hoping that the hybrid would climb onto it.

The hybrid climbed on it, "I wonder how tall you actually are."

'I am a solid 10'.'

The shorter whom was 5'7 looked at the giant sitting in front of his 2 floored home, "Wow, my home is like, 8 foot, not including at basement."

The taller smiled, 'I can shrink, which is quite weird to perform in front of someone I just met this day.'

"O-oh! Right, sorry."
'It is alright, I can do it in front of any species, any living being.'

He dropped the hybrid back in his home softly, and kneeled down. He held touched the hybrid's land, and shrunk to the shortest size he ever shrunk to— 8'5.

"You're still very tall."
'Endermen's shortest shrinking size is about 5'7 to 9'7. It depends on their actual height without shrinking. I can shrink to your size, but I prefer 8'5.'

The hybrid was amazed by this power, but soon he went back to his room, griefing about his best friend's death. The taller thought he was not of help, so he shrunk to 6'6. He entered the house, and quickly found the griefing's room.

He sat quietly there, waiting for a response. The started thinking about the times he'd spent with his beloved, the one he dedicated his life to, whom was gone, as he did not accompany him to the "Maximum Security Prison", or the so-called 'Pandora's vault'.

He called him beloved, as they got together and have a 'couple' type of relationship. He missed his "beloved" so much, that he'd sacrifice all his riches, just for him to be brought back to life.

Sadly, that was not the case. Revival takes a long time, and he'd rather not do the revival.

He started questioning if he had accompanied him to the prison, would the result had changed? Probably not, so he let it go.

He cried softly, letting out some parts of his grief, letting the tears burn away his skin, hurting him painfully. But at this point, he felt numb, the pain was washed away by more pain. The hybrid was also griefing, instrusive thoughts of death bumping into his mind now and then.

The taller opened the door, and shut it behind his back. He walked up to the hybrid silently, trying not to startle the shorter.

He climbed on the bed, petting the shorter's hair, 'Together.'

The hybrid let him pet his hair, and whispered, "...Together.."
