I should be relieved, I should be happy. Hawkmoth is defeated, Adrien is happy, everyone is together, Natalie's healed, but instead, I feel sick when looking at it all. If they knew the sacrifice that had to be made, the secret I hide, no one would be smiling. In truth, I watched Gabriel Agreste sacrifice... no, kill himself for one simple wish.

He spent years chasing us, using people, just to get our miraculous'. He kept his wife preserved, a reminder of what he lost, of what he killed. He could have brought her back, he could have given Adrien a mom again, they could have been a family. But using the miraculous of creation and destruction together requires a sacrifice of great importance to the person. Adrien would have been taken in her place. What was the point of having Emilie if there was no Adrien? Instead, he chose to heal Natalie and sacrifice himself. Now, Adrien was an orphan, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Nothing I could do to save him.

I would give anything to have taken his place, to have brought Emilie back, so that Adrien could have a family again. He doesn't need me; there are other girls, better girls, out there. I'm just a clutz, an ordinary girl, a baker's girl. Chloe is right, there is nothing special about me. I'm ridiculous, utterly ridiculous......

"Marinette?" Adrien said, pulling me out of my thoughts. We lay side by side in his backyard as everyone else partied, celebrated the end of an era. But I couldn't celebrate, how could I? I knew the truth: "Are you okay, Marinette?" Adrien asked, sitting up, looking down at me

"I'm fine" I said, putting on my best smile, grabbing his hand, brushing over the web of his hand. How could I tell him that being around him hurts? He can never know the secret I hide, "Just tired". I say sitting up, looking into his eye

"You should go home and rest then" Adrien said, helping me up. He handed me my swimsuit cover-up, watching with a smile as I put it on. Despite losing his father, he seemed so happy. How can someone be so happy after something so tragic? We begin to leave his house, walking in silence. I wouldn't call it a comfortable silence, but just simply silence.

"Adrien," I asked distantly, "how are you so happy?" Adrien stopped walking, his grip on my hand tightening.

"I'm not happy, Marinette. Losing someone is never easy, but dwelling on the loss is more damaging than letting go. I know my mother and father will always be with me. Plus, I have you and Natalie. Knowing you guys are there for me means the world."

Right, he has me. But for how long, if he knew the truth, if I told him the truth, he would hate me. I hate me. Only three people know the truth: Natalie, Felix, and I. If Adrien found out the truth, found that the people he looked to for comfort were hiding something of great importance, it would crush him. And that's something i can't risk.

"Oh" was all I could say. It was a pathetic response, but I was one sentence away from breaking down. We kept walking in uncomfortable silence.

"Marinette, are you sure you're okay?" He asked, stopping outside the bakery

"I'm fine, really, I'm....im just not feeling well." I said, shaking my hands, bowing slightly, looking at him with begging eyes. Adrien sighed, giving up as he kissed my head, whispering an 'okay' and stood watching as I entered the bakery.

I whispered a mandatory ' hello' to my parents and survived their 'how was your day' and 'is everything alright' questions. Saying 'I'm tired' has become a subconscious response to everything. No one can know the truth, and the few who do know the truth, it hurts to face.

I climb up to my room, shutting the hatch, and collapsing on top of it.

"Marinnette?" Tiki said, her voice laced with concern. As she hovered above me.

"I'm fine, Tiki". I said through tears, " I'm fine." I whispered again

I love you

“Hey darling!” Kaeya’s voice rang from the kitchen as I closed the front door. The smell of dinner wafting through the air was like manna to my soul. I was starving after the long day I had. I placed my bow and arrows in the coat closet, unlacing my shoes and placing them on the rack before making my way to the kitchen.

There he was. My wonderful husband, in all his glory, cooking dinner. I smiled to myself, what did i do to deserve him? 

“How was work?” He asked sweetly, stirring the pan of meat.

“Long,” I said wrapping my arms around his waist, burying my face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent. I closed my eyes and let myself get lost in him, the feel of my arms around his waist, his skin against my face, his smell. Everything I fell in love with. I could feel his arms stop moving as he placed the wooden spoon on the counter, one hand resting on mine as the other found its way into my hair.

“Are you sure you’re okay, Ajax?” Kaeya said softly, playing gently with my hair.

“Yeah,” I mumbled into his shoulder, “I just missed you” Kaeya sighed, removing the pan from the stove, turning his body in my arms so we were face to face, our bodies flush against each other.

“You know, dinner can wait,” He said placing a hand on my cheek, “Why don’t we lay on the couch for a bit. You keep lying to me. I can tell you need to decompress” 

“Okay so maybe i had an awful day, but it got better when I came home to you” I said as Kaeya took my hand, leading me to the couch, where he laid down with his arms open. I laid down on top of him, as he wrapped his arms would my waist, holding me tightly.

“I love you” I mumbled into his chest, closing my eyes as the stress of the day melted away

“I love you too”

I never saw it coming, and for some reasons I missed all the signs. Now I know it means nothing, now that you’re gone, but you were the only one on my mind. I was tricked into believing, you were the only one for me. But truth can be deceiving, because there you are, standing alone while I fly high.

They tell you that everything works out in the end, but you don’t believe them. Everything works out in the end, except for you and I. Everything works out in the end, so why did I die?

I had you treading water, running in circles for love, but you never learned to swim. Now I know it’s all over, but you need to learn to swim.

Everything works out in the end, so don’t lose hope. Everything works out in the end, so hang tight. We’ll be together again, because everything works out in the end.

Let Him Go

POV: Childe died

A song once said that you only need a light when one burns low; you miss the sun when it starts to snow; and you only know you love them when you let them go. Never, have I thought about those until today; As I stand staring at my lovers casket being lowered into the ground. As the light from our candles dim, the sun begins to set and the nighttime snowfall begins. 

I sit at he bar, staring into the bottom of an empty glass. God how i wished my dream could last, but dreams only ever come and go. They come too slow and leave too fast. I see him when i close my eyes, our shadows dancing against the walls and I begin to wonder why everything I touch starts to die. 

I miss the light his eyes used to bring, now the remnants of it slowly die. I walk the lonley road back to an empty house, wishing the sun were here to shine through the snow. My mind wanders to how much I love him and how much it hurts to let him go.

I stare at the ceiling in the dark, this new empty feeling resting in my heart. Why does love have to come so slow and go so fast? I see him when I fall sleep, never to touch and never to keep. Just out of my reach. I loved him too much, did I dive too deep?

You only need a light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun when it start to snow

Only know you love him when you let him go

Only hate the road when you’re missing home

Only know you love him when you let him go

And I let him go

The Line

POV: Kaeya never got his vision

I lay on the ground, heaving, holding my side as the rain poured around us. My sword has broken, my will to stay alive is fading, but my brother stands stronger than ever. It's only fitting he's the end of me. I just wish I could have lived to see my 18th birthday.

Diluc raises his claymore, fire burning through the rain, rage and hate in his eyes as he swings. I shut my eyes, a strange sense of peace filling me as I think of the end.

Till Forever, Darling.

I walked, my footsteps heavy and slow, falling in rhythm with the other prisoners. The chains around my wrists connecting to the people in front of me, and the ones around my neck linking to the people behind me; like a lamb to the slaughter we were led to the gallows. My crime? Standing for what was right.

I was once a high-valued, and well-respected member of the royal court. I was the captain of the calvary, the very one that led the kingdom to victory on countless occasions. But now; Now I am considered next to the pirates and piallagers.

I don't regret any of my choices leading to this moment, the world and the people needed to know just how corrupt their leaders are. How corrupt my friends are. My heart breaks at how easily they turned on me, how the people I served with everything I had turned on me.

We stopped moving, and one by one, our scentences were read off and each of us led to our spot at the hanging post.

"Kaeya Alberich, you are hereby scentenced to death by hanging on separate accounts of treason against the high court" the excecutioner read out, the underlying pain only I could hear in his voice, as he looked at me with sad eyes. My love, my life, the one who stood by me through everything; It's only fitting that he be the one to excecute me. Ajax, Childe, Tartaglia, a man of many names and known by many people, but he will forever be mine.

A small tear fell down my face as the noose was placed snuggly around my neck, Ajax hesitant to let go.

"Don't worry dear" I said as he stepped back towards the lever, "I'll be with you after the end"

"Till forever, Darling" he whispered pulling the lever, plunging my world into darkness
