Endless Dancing In Some Tango

Chapter 2 - Go On, Again

Heart felt something tug at him. Was it Mind?
No. Mind was still standing there. He felt something inside of him tug. His body stepped back, a sense of fear overcoming him.

“I-I'm scared, Mind.” Heart blurted, his voice becoming shaky.

“..We’ll be fine. I promise.” Mind hesitated, stepping closer and putting a hand on Heart's shoulder.

“A-Are you sure..? That thing..” Heart trailed off.

“I'm sure. We've..done this before.” Mind began, before looking over at Heart.

A moment of silence.

A sense of familiarity.

Mind looked away from the emotional side, glancing down at the floor.

“..We've done this before.” Mind repeated, feeling a sudden realization.

He took his cold hand off of Heart's shoulder, watching as it fell to his side.

“..Yeah.” Heart began, his gaze fixated on Mind.

“..What..?” Mind was confused. He hadn't noticed this. He was meant to be the logical side, yet the only thing logical for him right now was to cry. To question. To tell..

“Soul.” Mind spat out, shooting his head back up.

Heart flinched at the sudden movement, stepping away a bit.

Mind stared at Heart for a moment before Heart spoke up, his voice small and quiet.

“Are you.. gonna tell Soul?” Heart asked, pushing Mind for an answer.

“Let's wait.” Mind insisted, taking a breath.

“..Agreed.” Heart reluctantly replied, sighing.

Both of them stood for a moment, feeling the weight of this situation. Mind was still questioning everything. Was anything he was saying, even his words? Were they even true? Was he even himself? He didn't know. It ate him alive to never know.

Heart was waiting for some sort of plot twist. He wanted this to be the last thing it came to. His attempts in the past have all been the same, stupid, depressing moments. His attempt at murder, his attempt at.. everything. It pained him to know it wouldn't matter in the end.
