Infinity x The World

Stay By Me

(Luna⬆️)

...

...

Red ran down to leave large dots on the floor.

The mixture of my salty tears and his red blood stained the background of the moment.

"Don't... you give up, Nah Nah Nah..." I mumbled in a singing voice.

Infinity slowly lifted his head up from his tear-drenched hands.

"No, I won't give up... Nah Nah Nah..." I continued to sing in a low voice.

...

"Let me save you..." I mumbled.

"Let me save you..." I finished.

He didn't utter a word...

I got Sora and Mei to leave the house, convincing them that Infinity had too left.

I got out some bandages and sat Infinity down, gently wrapping a blanket around him. The lights were dim as the light of day faded.

"You don't have to do that. They'll heal. Like I said, you can do whatever you want to my body. Its form may be human but it's created with magic. Magic regenerates. Or at least mine does," he mumbled as I gently placed a bandage on his chest where he'd deeply torn into.

"I know but... it makes me worry if you don't at least try to care for it. You might come back but you can still damage your body. You need to take care of yourself," I mumbled.

I slowly dabbed water over his hand to clear up the blood as I did to his chest.

"You shouldn't look after me. You're the one who's sick," he told me.

"And you're the one who threw a fit," I replied.

"I... apologize. I just have a lot of things that I never let out. So when I do snap... I get.. a little uncontrollable for others liking. But I don't recall ever breaking in front of someone and have them still care for me after," he mumbled as he watched me wrap a bandaged around his hand.

"I... understand. It's hard for you sometimes. Keeping everything hidden all the time. Is... is it a nice feeling? Having someone to break in front of... and have them listen... and not run away? Have them... still wish to make you happy, even after you lose control of yourself and your problems. Because I think the reason you did that... was because you've been scared to let it all out. Maybe you thought it was pointless because no one would listen. Maybe you thought I'd run away or hide... and you wanted to scare me off?" I mumbled, finishing with his bandage.

"I never intended on you acting upon my behaviour," he replied, looking away.

"I tried to show you how it makes me feel when you hurt yourself... if you understood me, then you'd of known how much you'd scare me by pulling a stunt like that. If you truly knew how it felt... you'd know... how scared I am right now..." I mumbled with tears in my eyes.

He gasped as he looked at me but I kept my eyes on the ground as my shaking hands crunched up on my knees.

"You're... scared? Why?" He asked in confusion.

"BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU, IDIOT!!!" I snapped as I stood up with a crash and tears flowing down my face.

"It- really worries me when you- get hurt! I-I just want to save you, Infinity! I-I want you to be happy!" I cried, pulling my hands across my eyes.

"B-but you won't let me! Why won't you let me in?! I can help you if you'd just let me! If you really don't want to be saved then kill me so I don't have to remember that I couldn't save you!!!" I cried.
