Setho Adventures

Too Late.

A/N - Nica game me permission to write an alternate ending for Everything Has Changed... I'm sorry.

******************************

Etho ran his fingers though his hair and put his hat in his pocket. Today was the day he was going to see Seth for the first time ever.

He had been fighting in the war for a few years. "Oh god, I hope he listened to me..." The tall man bit his lip and shrank a bit. He quickly shook off the nervousness feeling and walked up to the big door at Seth's apartment.

Etho knocked on the door once, twice, then three times. No answer each time. The door was cracked open. He pushed it and stepped into the eerily quiet apartment.

His breath hitched in his throat as he saw what Seth had done to himself.

Tears sprang to his eyes and his feet just wouldn't move.

"Seth.." Etho barely whispered.

He was hanging, a rope around his neck. It was fairly obvious that he wasn't alive anymore, but Etho wouldn't believe it.

"No..no!" He let out a choked sob. Tears blurred his vision as he cut the rope and slowly lowered his friend to the ground.

The tall man sat on his knees and pulled Seth's limp body to him. He sobbed, desperately holding onto the other man.

"Please...please, don't be dead." He whispered, shaking furiously.

His plea wasn't answered.

Etho sniffed and looked down at Seth's pale face.

How long had he been dead? Was it a few seconds before Etho found him? Was it hours? Days? He couldn't tell, and he didn't want too.

A few more tears escaped his eyes before they stopped completely.

"I love you." He whispered to Seth, hoping that's somehow he would hear him. "I'll be with you soon."
