Infinity x The World

The True End

My breathing was heavy. My blood was leaking from me quicker then I could control. Bruises and cuts ripped into my arm as I lay unstable on the concrete ground in a puddle of my own blood.

"Infinity...." I stuttered.

I looked up to a boy kneeling over me, covered in blood as his two swords lay blood-stained beside him. His clothes were ripped and his form was slightly faded.

"Luka! Hang in there!!! You're gonna be ok!!!" Infinity yelled out, hand gripped in mine.

"Magic can't save me, Infinity. This is more than that! I... I don't think I can last much longer!" I cried, knowing full well that after the lifetimes together, It was about to finally come to an end.

"No!!! Don't say that!!! I'll cure you!!! You'll be ok!! We've survived up till now!! I'm not letting you go!!" Infinity called, desperately pouring magic into me to try and heal me.

"Infinity... it's no use... stop..." I whispered.

His eyes fixed on the blood as his teeth grinded against each other in pure frustration and immense anger.

He suddenly screamed out in desperation.

"Luka..." He whimpered, face tightening up while his body trembled.

"Infinity... don't worry. It will be ok. If I'm going, I can least give you... what you've always wanted..." I told him, weakly lying on the ground.

"What are you talking about?!!" Infinity yelled.

"I've learned how the soul demons do it, Infinity... I can give you my soul... and let my body die. Then you could finally die too... you won't have to do this anymore!" I cried out.

"Luka- no! You can still live! I'll save you!!! I will!!! I swear!!!" Infinity panicked, hand on my cheek as his arm wrapped around my back.

"Hmm... then let me finally save you..." I kissed him as his grip tightened, refusing to let go...

Infinity was desperately crunching up his face. But no tears fell. He couldn't cry. He wanted to so badly... but he simply couldn't do it...

A light floated from my body... drifting into his as our lips departed, body losing all strength.

"Uh!" Infinity's eyes widened in shock.

A wave of emotions hit him as the pain he was feeling suddenly came to life. Thoughts ran through his mind. This feeling was something he had never felt before in his entire existence. The feeling of living. The feeling of having a soul and emotions! With this one simple act, he suddenly understood everything. Why Luka was so strong and caring. Why Infinity fell for her. Why she acted the way she did, being stubborn, determined and yet so loving... everything... it was all there... and Infinity could finally feel that.

"Luka..." He trembled, seeing her eyes close and body fall weakly as he rested her head on the ground.

"LUKA!!!" He panicked... but then... he noticed a single tear drip down his face...

"Wha... I... I'm crying...!" He gasped, placing his hand on his cheek.

Not ever in his existence had he shed a tear. He assumed he was incapable. Yet right this moment he felt the warm sensation of a tear slip down his cheek from his dark blue eyes.

He scrunched his face up more and more as tears flooded down like a gate, holding back an ocean, had been broken down.

The soul in his body made his weakened state almost fatal, yet the strength of these new feelings and emotions overwhelmed him and gave him a feeling of power.

He could feel everything Luka had felt; love, sadness, pain, joy and so many other things that he took for granted for reasons he couldn't understand.

It was like the whole world had just lit up and he could finally see it's true beauty.

"I can feel!!! I CAN FEEL!!! Eh heh!! Eh heh heh heh heh heh!!!" Infinity sobbed, voice croaky yet desperately loud.

"You- you saved me! You actually saved me! Luka, you-" his expression dropped as his excitement was hit with reality.

...

He glimpsed at his swords...

"I can finally die..." he muttered, hands shaking as he weakly gripped onto one sword.

His breathing calmed... he placed the sword just above his chest, blade almost touching his skin that was no longer pale.

A few seconds went by...

When a sudden thought crossed through his crowded mind...

His face relaxed as he lowered the sword...

"..."

He weakly got to his feet, wobbling slightly as he got up.

He looked down at his lover and his heart began to ache.

No... this... isn't right...

...

He bent down, gently kissing her forehead...

He stood up, much prouder this time, as he picked up his two swords and slid them behind his back.

He tilted his nose up the sky and closed his eyes, breathing in a life source he never before desired.

"Wanting to die... without really living... is but a sour excuse..."

He smiled.
