BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR

🌹FROZEN IN GUILT🌹

He did it.. He won, he saved Hina, he saved Cynthia, he saved Diantha and Clair.. He made with the past he wanted to run away from.. If he were to have one guilt, maybe it was not being able to save Jane.. The recoil was too much now.. All of his reserve were done for, he used all of it.. It was at thei moment he found out even limitless has an end..

Guess he really outdid himself..

ONE WEEK LATER

"Argh.." His eyes fluttered open looking at the unknown ceiling above his head groaning loudly in pain as he slowly tried to wiggle around.. His eyes tried to adjust to the darkness of the room with only source of light being the moniter beeping next to him..

He slowly adjusted himself leaning to the bed's frame as he felt something on his left legs.. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Clair asleep next to him.. She was like that for a whole week believing it was her fault Ash was in this condition and promised to take care of him..

"Clair?" He whispered in the silence of the night in the room with occasional beeping pulling away all the syringes connected to his arms.. His features lightly softened as he leaned his back forward toward her..

"Hey.." He lightly shook her as her eyes fluttered open rubbing her hand over her eyes..

"Diantha? Cynthia?" She mumbled in her drowsy state as he ran his hand over his head tied around in various gauzes.. Her eyes locked on him adjusting to darkness as he lightly smiled..

"Wrong answer Clair.." The next thing he knew was he was in a tight embrace from her who held him tightly refusing to go as he held her back.. A sweet smell of shampoo invaded his nose as he took a deep breath into her aqua blue hair.. It gave him a sense of security she was okay and he was here too..

"You fucking bastard.." She gave him a piece of her mind as they stayed just like that..

"Just because i said something didn't meant you always have to follow it.. Why are you always like that Ash? I am idiot who is selfish, who is egotistical and piece.."

"All right time out.. Shut up and stay like that.. I don't want to hear anything else.." He closed his eyes as her hands made their way to his back embracing him back.. She decided to swallow down her piece of mind and give it back to him later as he placed his chin over her shoulder..

"You did nothing wrong.. I was like that when you know.. The thing with Sabrina happened.." He mumbled remembering about it as his grip on her increased.. Clair did nothing wrong in his eyes. She acted like how a real friend would act like.. It wasn't like Ash could say anything about anger management to Clair at first place. He had seen what his anger did in mirror world.. Who cares about mirror world. He had seen what it did in Saffron city at first place too..

"Sorry.." Clair couldn't forgive her.. She did a lot of mistakes.. She believed she seduced Ash, forced him into a choice where only three timing was an option, couldn't help him during tree of beginning quest and became a burden, acted like a spoilt brat and forced Ash into a choice which could have killed him.. She felt despicable.. Worse than shit. But no one's perfect..

"It is just as you say.. Your burdens are not only yours now.. They are mine too.." He pushed all the doubts out of her mind slowly pulling away looking at the ceiling..

"Are we okay then?" She asked as he nodded his head..

"We are Clair.. We were never on bad terms to begin with. Maybe just a little misunderstanding but nothing else." He grabbed a glass next to them as he looked at her.. Her eyes shone in the darkness of the room as she stood up opening the window next to them allowing the moonlight to enter as the moon shone on her face..
