Treebark!!! My second favourite ship after Rancher Duo!

This is set in Last Life.

Other than the intro and outro, the bold writing will be the Watchers speaking. For those who don't know what Watchers are, they're basically a superior species that talk to Martyn in his mind to try and get him to do their bidding.

Okay...? Let's er... Let's go

"Understand?"

Martyn nodded. "So, we just need to check what's left in the Shadow Tower, and then we'll meet back up with Etho."

"Exactly! Well done!" Ren smiled, ruffling the blonde's hair.

Martyn ducked out of the way. "Okay, okay, you don't need to patronise me!" He laughed.

The dog grinned. "Well, sorry, my dude, but it's not my fault you're so cute!"

"Pffft, shut up..."

You have failed

Martyn stopped walking and closed his eyes, furrowing his brow. "I'm aware of that. I don't know what you want me to do."

Ren looked back. "Hm?"

You were supposed to get rid of him

"Well, I haven't. And I don't know how you expect me to do that."

"What?" The brunette blinked confusedly.

You must obey

"Well, what if I don't want to? What if I'm fed up of being your servant?"

We can bring them back

"I don't believe you!"

You will do as we say

"Or what?! You can do what you want to me, see if I care! You've already taken away everyone I care about!"

Everyone you care about?

Martyn swallowed. "Yes."

Oh, really? Well, then we're sure you won't mind us doing this

"Ow!" Ren flinched. "The heck...?"

Martyn made a noise that was very close to a growl. "You leave him out of this."

We don't think we will

Tears welled in the blonde's eyes. "YOU'RE SICK!!! You hear me?!! Absolutely sick!!" He screamed.

You say sick, we say strategic

"You know what?! I'm through with you!"

Ren looked hurt. "What?"

Not you, Ren!

You will-

"Lalala! I'm not listening!!!"

How dare you-

"I can't hear you!!!"

Foolish mortal-

"Get out of my head!"

And Martyn did the only logical thing he could thing of, he screamed. He screamed at the top of his lungs, drowning out anything the voices said.

And he didn't stop.

We'll be back! You'll see!

And then they were gone. He felt them leave, because he felt like the world had been lifted off of his shoulders.

He sank to his knees. And he couldn't stop the tears that came.

"Martyn...?"

Oh. Ren. Martyn had forgotten he was there.

He looked up at the dog-hybrid, his should-be-blue eyes (instead yellow, indicating his number of lives) full of tears.

Ren didn't hesitate to crouch down and engulf Martyn in a hug. Ren always gave good hugs. But... this one was different. This was a hug meant only for Martyn.

The blonde buried his face in the other's chest.

"I-I'm sorry, Ren!"

"Martyn, my dude, you have nothing to be sorry about."

"I do! You don't understand! I do!" He sobbed.

"Martyn."

Ren pulled down his mask and cupped Martyn's chin, bringing him to eye level. He removed his sunglasses.

"You're right, I don't understand. But that doesn't stop me from caring. Because you're my world, Martyn, and you should never have to be sorry to me. Never."

Martyn brought himself to look into those beautiful eyes, one light blue, one dark brown. Only the two of them knew that Ren's eyes were not affected by the server - and that he was heterochromic.

"I don't know why you're sorry, but I forgive you. And I want you to know that everything's okay, and I love you. Got it?"

More tears came from the blonde, but he was sure they were happy tears.

He sighed with a small smile as he buried himself deeper into Ren's chest.

"I love you too."

Can you tell that ending was rushed and unplanned?

Oh well.
