Tsubasa wo Kudasai

~Reunited~

[Ruruka's P.O.V.]

"I can make new friends..." That's what I told myself before passing out. But my heart said: "Give Me Wings". Yes, if I had wings... I could fly far away from the suffering of loneliness. I could see him again. And then, even through the unconsciousness, there was pain. Extreme pain. There was pain until I felt nothing anymore. I was somewhere else... But where? I was curled up into a ball, with something covering me. It wasn't a blanket, but it was a warm & familiar makeshift drape over my body. It was red, with a hood. "Yoi-chan..." I whispered as I sat up, holding the coat close with tears beginning to stream down my face.

"I'm right here, Ruruka." A recognizable voice came from behind me, making me turn around. There stood the person I loved more than anyone else. Sonosuke Izayoi. He crouched down beside me, rubbing my head. "Yoi...-chan?"
More tears slipped down my cheeks as I pulled him into an embrace of reunion. "Hm?" I felt his arms wrap around me in return.

"I love you so much! I never want us to separate again! I'm sorry... I just--!" My voice suddenly stopped projecting words as I felt his soft, warm lips press against mine in a gentle kiss. More tears could only flow as I returned the gesture. I forgot almost everything in that moment. This lasted a good while before he slowly pulled away.

"I love you too, Ruruka. Very much. And I promise we'll never be apart again. I'll protect you forever & we'll be happy... together." He smiled, wiping some of the tears from my face. I nodded at the idea, letting a small smile spread across my lips as well. "Yeah... We'll be happy together & we'll stay that way forever."

I felt his hand caress my cheek softly. "Look at those tearstains... Those are there because you're strong. You lasted through the sadness & the tears went away. You're so beautiful."

I gently set my hand over his, laughing quietly. "Thank you... And you're very handsome." I complimented in return. "I really do love you... Sonosuke." I laid my head on his chest, briefly closing my eyes. I felt the embrace tighten slightly.
"I love you too, Ruruka. Never forget that."
And then, everything felt like it always should have. There was warmth, kindness, love... And Sonosuke.
Perfect.

I asked to be given wings... And though you may not quite see them, they are there. The proof? Happiness. I would not be in these loving arms without those wings. Whoever is out there, I am truly grateful. Thank you for these wings.

((A/N: Throughout this whole killing game of DR3, I have always loved Izaruru & NOTHING changed it along the way. My opinion never fluctuated, my resolve wasn't swayed, & my heart never faltered. I never thought Ruruka was a 'bitch' for even one tiny second! I will forever stand by Izaruru! ❤ Thanks for reading & let me know what you think! ✌ Also, can anyone catch why I may have chosen the title/what influenced it? Leave your guesses in the comments!))
