Hello x3

Just saying that even though you've left the rping threads on here, I just recently read over your story for Luke, especially for a crossover kind of deal I really enjoyed how well you had it written and planned out :D I'm not familiar with Wild Arms myself, but I do know quite a bit of TOA from playing and beating the game three times or more XD Anyway, just wanted to say how lovely of a story you gave him >w< Probably one of the best ones besides the canon <3

[Oh, thank you! It's actually kinda funny how small a world this is, because you submitted a question to my ask-xellos blog a while back. I'm sorry it took so long for me to get to this, but I'd gotten disinterested in Tumblr RPing. I'm really only going to roleplay with my friend on here from now on. But thank you a lot for the kind encouragement, even if it took me forever to respond. ._.;;;;;;;;]

[I guess I'll head to bed, too. Lol. Night, everyone!]

Try to guess my mun's age, gender, and sexuality.

Luke just kept holding him like that, determined to at least get him to hug back, unless he got shoved away. He didn't say another word, just listening to the other's heartbeat and hoping he wouldn't get pushed away or yelled at. They both needed this. (He also partly hoped his Asch wouldn't come in, but he'd explain everything to him later. Not that this would happen given that the Asch in question doesn't have a Tumblr account.) He just smiled and gave him a little squeeze to urge him on. Come on, the wings are soft to hug~ He even tucked them against his back.

"W-wh-wha-" Asch felt the winged replica’s arms wrap around his shoulders, holding him gently. Never once had someone held him since he was a child, and it was never so affectionate. He wasn’t sure what to do in the situation. He felt compelled to return the embrace, but was also afraid in doing so. The blush soon rushed to his ears, and he felt like he was going to faint. M-maybe I should push him away?!

Before Asch could carry out his thought, he suddenly heard the beating rhythm of Luke’s heart. The sound wasn’t something he was used to…in fact he’d never been close enough to anyone to know how soothing a heartbeat could sound. Asch began to feel even more flustered, unable to decide how to carry out his next move, or what to even speak. Only inaudible soft noises escaped his mouth.

Luke jumped in his seat at the sudden movement and yelling. He paused, then stood up slowly. "... Don't take this the wrong way, okay? I don't mean it in a weird way." He stepped forward and just reached out for him, pulling him into a close hug. A hug of appreciation that Asch seemed to change as well, that he did care about him. A hug for both of their pain that they had to endure. "As long as I get to see my friends happy, I'll go through hell. That includes you, Asch. Thank you."

Asch immediately jumped up from his chair, his eyes shooting wide open. “N-no!" He shouted. “You’re wrong! You’ve also been-" Asch sucked in a sharp breath, his whole face flushing red. IDIOT! Don’t go saying stupid things all of a sudden! He turned his head sharply, trying to hide his beat red face. “I..I mean….don’t…You don’t have to worry about me all the time, stupid."

[flamefusion]

In what had to be the worst response ever, Luke suddenly laughed. He covered his mouth. "S-Sorry, sorry! It's just... Yeah, you would just beat the hell out of me!" He laughed more. Apparently, he'd picked up a morbid sense of humor, too. He stopped after that, still grinning.

"It's okay. I'm not being myself, either. It's... I don't like talking about all this stuff, especially not with you." He looked down at his own lap, the grin slipping off his face into a frown. "I know how much pain you've already gone through, and I added more. I'm sorry."

He felt his heart jump a little, and his stomach tighten. Why did he suddenly want to cry? He felt like the biggest idiot. He was becoming a huge, horrible mess in front of this Luke, who hardly even knew him. But hearing those kind words caused him pain, both good and bad. Asch finally averted his gaze away from the winged replica and looked down at his hands. For once…they seemed so weak.

Am I afraid that…everyone in my world would replace me with another Asch?

"Sorry…" He responded softly. “Normally I would beat the living hell out people in this situation…but…" He clenched his eyes tightly, taking in another small breath. "…But something is refraining me from being myself…"

[flamefusion]

"O-Oh, right. Well, I guess that's like Mieu." He grinned brightly. "Thanks a lot!" Though honestly, what did he expect from himself? He'd do the same if he was in that position.

"Yeah, about that... I tried. I couldn't use any of my artes on Filgaia. I guess because I was the only thing made up of fonons walking around on it... That, and yeah, I'm a bit rusty with swords," he admitted embarrassedly. "I could do gun artes NOW, I guess, but I just wasn't able to before." He huffed at him and folded his arms. "But I didn't FORGET them. Jeez. I know what to use them with!"

Luke chuckled. “Snowy is more my friend then he is a pet. Although I guess I could see if I can find one for you…" He wasn’t sure where he would find one, but either way, he would try to find one.

Luke was a bit taken aback. Not useful? “We’d be able to combine artes with gun skills. I’d have to show you how to do it after you show me how to use a gun." He wasn’t exactly sure how to do it, but he’d learned a few things from Jade in combining techniques in watching him…

"…Or did you forget the artes already?" Luke asked his alternate self. “We use them with a sword."

[flamefusion]

This Asch was even more nice than his own, if that was possible. His was still gruff and grumpy at times. And a jerk. Definitely a jerk. This Asch was... shockingly understanding. He felt bad about shocking him with so much information. "No, you're not! You can stay as long as you like. He wouldn't be angry at all." He smiled reassuringly. "I guess you can ask yourself if you would, huh?" He laughed a bit. "But even though there are multiples of us... some of us act nothing alike. Actually, my Asch has wings just like I do, but not exactly for the same reason. They're a really pretty silver." He paused, then laughed nervously. Whoops, there he went being almost lovey-dovey again.

He thought for a moment on Asch's reaction. He seemed really tense and worried... about what? About... being... being replaced? Again? Somehow, that made a lot of sense, especially with what he was saying. Luke turned to him, giving him a serious look. "Asch... I promise you that no one's going to replace you." Sometimes, it was strange just how well Luke understood people. He smiled warmly at him. "You're special and different from everyone else, even if someone shares your face and name."

Asch kept his eyes on Luke the entire time, never once faltering. He listened to every word, taking it in. He wanted to understand it all, be prepared for anything. Of course, every word just made it harder. So this Luke isn’t a replica of the other Asch…that means there is definitely more..

He took in a deep breath, digging his fingers into his knee even more. What if I meet more of me in the future? What’s going to happen? These thoughts scared him more. He had already been replaced once in his life, he didn’t need any more of it, and neither did his Luke. He never admitted to it, but he was tired of watching his Luke suffer and be abandoned by the world. Having helped Jade with his fomicry and the replica’s that remained on Auldrant, Asch had begun to see replica’s in a new light, and respect Luke more. But of course, Asch could never bring himself to tell anyone that.

Asch continued to stare seriously at Luke, even after he had finished explaining everything. He wasn’t sure how to respond, whether they should continue talking, or if he should just leave. “I…I hope…I’m not intruding on anything." His throat felt dry. It would be difficult to live in Grand Chokmah knowing that another..him…is walking around. "…The other..Asch…will he be angry that I’m here?"

[flamefusion]

Luke would definitely understand. He couldn't imagine what kind of mental hell Asch must have been going through. <He must know.> This was said only to Luke, as Luke didn't feel his fon slots opened this time. He just nodded once and looked back up at him, giving a sigh. He could do this. He expected this, so why was it so difficult to explain to Asch of all people?

"He's... not my original, just like you're not mine. I don't know how to explain that, either. It's just a feeling I have. I don't know where he is. After you... he died, I could feel something warm flow into me, his fonons and spirit. But after I died and woke up on Filgaia, I couldn't feel him. Filgaia was where I was stuck for over a year by myself. It's completely dry grasslands and desert. Even the oceans were made of sand." He closed his eyes. "The Asch who owns this place, he's from a different world. I've... I've met duplicates of myself, too. Maybe you just hadn't run into them until now." He opened his eyes, giving him a sad smile, one that betrayed his experience he'd had on that desert planet. "I guess there are. I don't know how I'm here. I should've been dead five times over." He leaned back, letting out a long sigh. He'd gotten through the hardest part. "A couple months. I... I'd gotten pretty beaten up in a fight. Some bounty hunters were chasing me, and I stupidly ran into a cave to get away without seeing what was in there, first, and... It nearly killed me. And then I woke up on Auldrant. Upstairs, actually. My Asch found me passed out in an alley, and he helped nurse me back to health. I stayed and worked for him too repay him, and, uh..." He blushed a bit, rubbing the back of his head. "Things just... happened. A-Anyway, I've mainly been here or running around getting supplies." He glanced back at him to see if he'd been weirded out too much. "I haven't had a chance in about two years to just relax, so I've been mostly staying inside. I really like Grand Chokmah." He smiled. "That's pretty much it. Uh, sorry, I was rambling. Haha." He rubbed the back of his neck again.

Asch sighed, somewhat relieved that Luke understood his words. He also wished somewhere deep inside of him that this was all a dream. Not because he hated this Luke, or refused to accept the existence of these people, but rather…he was afraid. Afraid of the unknown that connected him with the fate of many others.

Asch tensed in his seat, trying his best to keep himself relaxed. He didn’t let the fear show on his face, this was no time for him to fall apart or argue.

He turned his face to look back at the replica, narrowing his eyes. “Luke, what are you and this other me doing here? If you two exist, does that mean that there are more, others that are the same being, but co-exist in a different universe or world?" He tensed his hands underneath the table, clutching his knee. “If this is true, how are you even here? How long have you been in this world without me or…the other Luke knowing?"

"Yeah! It's actually really easy to learn, though really being accurate with it is hard." He glanced at the little dragon and smiled. "I like him, too. He's really cute. I wish I could get a dragon!" He paused as he felt the annoyance of his bodymate. "... I mean a little, pet one."

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I've seen a couple of those. They were hard to find and not as useful as just a gun, though, so I had to adapt. I didn't even have a sword when I landed on Filgaia." And he almost died because of it, though he wouldn't mention that part.

"A… gun…?" Well, that certainly peaked his interest. He was no good at healing, or archery for that matter, but if he could learn to use a gun… it wouldn’t be hard to integrate in with his moves he already had. Especially if he got one that doubled as a blade…. maybe the Key would work for that?

"Heh, sure!" he told the other Luke, just as Snowy let his wing drop and leaned into the rubbing slightly. “I think Snowy likes you too, I haven’t seen him that open with anyone like that except me. …Though since you’re me I guess that makes sense."

"…Though, if I had to use a gun, I’d rather it be a gun in a sword or something, it’d be easier to use that way."
