Forever (Len x Reader)

XXVI: The End Is Nigh

Time left before merging: 3 hours

"Is there really no hope at all?" I voiced out.

"There is! Keep fighting even if you body drops dead Len!" Historia screamed.

"It's been an hour! There is no changes at all!"

"It's not like you to give up! Keep singing!"

But it hurts to have to let you go...
Don't leave me alone
Could this sacrifice cost me my life?

Y/N's P.O.V

What is he saying? Len? He's going to die?

"Len.... Len...!" I called out.

Of course, there would be no response. I hear it screaming again and then I see a silhouette in front of me. It speaks to me.

"If you want to save him, you know what you have to do."

I stared at the silhouette. I know what it's trying to say. I know what I have to do. All I have to do is, sing. The silhouette disappeared.

Oh, just to leave my life again
To treasure every little moment then
Satisfied… I'd leave you all behind
Accepting of my fate.

Len's P.O.V

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" It screamed

It charged at me again not letting me sing a word out. Historia tried to hold it back but even she was blown away.

"Not a single word from any of you! I'll never let you reach her again!" It growled.

Its eyes were focused on me. Our contact never breaks. We keep clashing and clashing to no end. There is no end to this. We keep slicing, clanging, blocking dodging. I don't have time for this, I need to defeat it here and now.

"What's so hard about destroying the crystal! Harden your resolve!" Historia tried to encourage me.

"I know!"

As soon as I open my mouth, The Singularity attacks me again. Every single time I back away to respond, it attacks me again. I can't lose Y/N for a second time. I need to attack her soon. I need to attack her now and fast.

Historia comes in just in time to block the recent attack and then I backed away to sing.

But you are full of grief…
To leave this life so incomplete

Our dream is coming to the end.

No, wait. What am I saying? Why does the song go this way? Will I be unable to save Y/N after all?

Clashing, slicing, dodging, blocking and soon.

We ran out of time.

Y/N's P.O.V

The silhouette appeared in front of me again. I looked at it as my body graduslly grew weaker and my eyelids feel heavier. I saw it slowly approach me as if patted my shoulders. It whispered to me ear.

"They have ran of time. Now, sleep."

I slowly closed my eyes, rregretting that I didn't fight harder. I regretted not telling Len how much I loved him and wanted him to live. Live even if I'm gone. Live even if I'm not there anymore. Live because he'll never feel alone forever.

After I closed my eyes, everything I saw was darkness. Even though, I could still hear noises. Noises of fighting. Then, I hear my name being called out. I wonder what was happening. It feels like I have to do something but I can't remember what was it.

"Sing..."

I suddenly hear a voice say. Sing? But sing what? What do I need to do? No matter. I am going to sing the first verse that comes to mind. So that, if I could save them. Let them see tomorrow. Let them taste victory once they have defeated it. It'll feel peaceful.

And now the light is fading broken wings
Have brought the journey's end. 
Your voice... That led me safe thus far

Is fading from my ears.
You were everything to me, a light to guide me in my darkest hour
Don't want to say goodbye just yet. Don't want to be alone.

My voice fades and then I go to sleep again. Darkness envelopes my vision. I see nothing. I hear nothing. All I see and hear were silence. I can't get out of her no matter how much I struggle. No matter how much I wanted to get out of here.

Len's P.O.V

I heard Y/N singing. Though it's faint, I heard her singing. The red crystal is still there on her chest. Although they have merged and it grew stronger. It gradually grows weaker every time Y/N sings.

I will come to
Hold you once again
I feel safe at last
Although I feel the
End is coming closer unto you.

I continued to sing, hoping it'll reach Y/N. No, if it's Y/N, it'll reach her. The Singularity continues to attack me relentlessly. It had no mercy, out for my blood. It had no time to stop as well.

Y/N's P.O.V

I must respond. No matter how tiring it may be. I must do it.

If we could only travel back in time
To peaceful days gone by.
But this is all my mistake
And I will not let you lose your life

Oh, the pain...
Is gone and when you're near.
There is no fear
The shattered “I” pieces start to match
If only for a while.

I wonder if Len was getting the message. Getting about the fact that I love him very much and I want him to be safe.

My being is something to be thrown away. They are wasting their time trying to fight off The Singularity. They need to give up. I wonder what gives them hope? I need them to give up. This is my fate as the child of Historia. I need to fulfill it. I need them to give up on everything. I need them to surrender everything. I need them to leave me alone. Once the merging has completed there is no turning back. They shohld know that but yet what gives them hope? To fight back. To help me. To get me back? What does it take and how much effort needs to be put in just to save me?
