Dying In The Darkness [ElesisxAdd]

>Shadow's Edge<

Elesis P.O.V

I sit in the warmth of late afternoon next to Add's bed. He's awake but we both feel like there's not much to say.
We are in Velder. We've been here for about three weeks and Add's condition has been improving slowly. The kingdom of Velder is vast with many towns, castles and towers, and just like Feita overrun with demons, but it's a safe enough place as any in this battle.
After Add's Dark Esper side came out, he destroyed Berthe in a matter of minutes. I had no idea he had that kind of power, but it must take a great toll on him. many of his bones were broken, he was bleeding internally, and he can hardly remember any of it.
Thanks to Add the gate of darkness Berthe had opened up was closed, but I still had to get Add out of there before he bled to death. Being able to control my blood to an extent, I used it to hold Add's wounds together, and stop the bleeding somewhat. I managed to carry him down through the tower and over the ruins, moving to the east. As i proceed the sky became darker, full of ominous clouds with strange lights in the sky, even tho it was mid day. After wandering through more demolished castles and graveyards I came to a great wall with the same crest on its mighty red doors as my scarf, I cried up to the guards and they rushed down to help us. They attended to our wounds as quickly as we got inside the walls of the Velder kingdom.
my wounds had almost completely healed themselves, but Add was still in a life threatening state.
I learned that the Red Knights were a branch of the Velder Knights, They had heard of my party's annihilation and told me Add and I were welcome to stay and live in Velder as long as we needed.
For now we can only wait until Add is fully healed before we can continue fighting the demons in Velder.

Add groans as he stares at the ceiling.
"Bored?" I ask as I sit on the edge of his bed.
"Nooooo, why would I be bored?" Add says, his voice laced with sarcasm.
I smirk "Well get used to it already, you're no way healed enough to walk more than five feet yet"
"Oh, well I'm sorry i can't regenerate my bones like somebody...my dynamos aren't that strong"
"Hey, I haven't broken any bones yet so we don't know that"
"There's blood in your bones right? that means you should be able too"
"True, but we still don't know how it works."
Add looks back to the ceiling as if it might hold the answers.
'Hey.. I wonder if you can die?"
"Do you want me to"
"What? god no, I was just thinking if you regenerate than maybe it's impossible for you to die?"
I look at my black gloved hands, I guess he doesn't remember he told me that as long as I still have blood in my body i'm practically invincible.
"But i'm already half dead you know?"
"Wow, I guess you are"
"Oh do you have a problem with that to?"
"Not at all, I just never thought a half dead person could be so lovely"
I feel my face grow red.
"Um yeah whatever you say.." I mutter looking away. The shadows of evening begin to creep through the window, I stand up.
"I should go make supper, do you have any requests?"
Add smiles "surprise me."
It surprises me that Add actually likes my cooking. Its nothing amazing, I can barely make soup.
but he wolfs it down like it's the best thing in the world.
After washing dishes i'm tired and ready for bed.
I lay down in bed, striped with white moonlight, next to Add. I pull the heavy warm blankets over us. I turn over to face him.
"Goodnight, sleep well and sweet dreams" I whisper to him, already half asleep.
"Goodnight love..." Add mutters into his pillow.
