HIIII!!! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR COZMEZ!ALLEN AU!!
I wanted to ask how would Nayuta's "death" play out in this situation? Does it happen at all? Is Allen there with Kanata when he finds his brother's body? Is he aware of the illusion until the final battle of the first tournament?
I'm so invested!!!! Keep up the good work!! ^^
Very good question! This is something I’ve actually thought about a bit. I’ve thought about the possible outcomes whether Nayuta went through with his choice that might or not.
With having Allen by their side to help with cozmez’s financial struggles, I feel like it would take a some of the burden off of Nayuta’s shoulders of feeling like he has to do something to help Kanata out. Perhaps he would’ve listened to Shiki this time and would’ve stopped partaking in Phantometal experimentations when symptoms started getting worse…it would also mean Shiki wouldn’t have to witness such a heart wrenching sight either ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ
As for if he did go through with his choice that day, I don’t think Allen would’ve been there when Kanata found his body. Mainly to stick to the original storyline (we’ve long departed from it at this rate LOL). Allen must’ve been away working to get a little more cash. Of course Kanata wouldn’t say anything, he wouldn’t even say it to himself, total denial mode. If he couldn’t accept his death, what makes him think Allen would? By the time he got home, the illusion was already there. He couldn’t explain it, but something felt off the way “Nayuta” stared at him, and simply told him to go to sleep. The usual warmth wasn’t there, but he figured it had been a long day.
Now for the final battle with IlluNayu vanishing, both Allen and Kanata are exposed to the truth. Too many emotions are swirling at once, was Kanata hiding this from him? From everyone? Nayuta was suddenly gone before his very eyes? He wasn’t sure what to think, but one emotion stood above the rest. Pure grief.
Both of them had isolated in their own ways after their arguments. Allen was trying to bring Kanata out to help him out of his deteriorating state, but Kanata refused. It spiraled into arguments that stung each time. Allen saying he lost someone that day too, but had to keep living for his sake. Kanata snapped back, calling him insensitive, and that he’d never understand what it’s like to lose someone so valuable as a twin brother, family. Cozmez was only cozmez with Nayuta. They had started as two after all. It was words he regretted immediately, but the wound those words left was deep. Allen gave up his case to argue, and left without another word. Kanata was truly alone now, it was a world he mess unable to fathom.
He really lost all of his family now.
Allen spent his time with his two friends, a discarded heir, now Yakuza, and the new, fashionable bartender in a cozy part of town. Some of the only people outside or Kanata and a Nayuta who understood him. He spent most of his time just pouring his feelings out. They comforted him in his time of need, understanding how fragile he must be. Who wouldn’t be after such a realization? Pure grief was putting it lightly. They were grateful someone as reclusive as Allen was willing to open up to them.
Still…it wasn’t cozmez. That’s where his loyalties would always lie. Something was calling him to leave, to go to the place where Nayuta made his final choice. When something told him to run, he did. He ran as fast as he could to that rooftop, not wasting another second. When he finally reached it, he thought he was dreaming.
Was that him? Was that really Nayuta?
The moment Nayuta turned to look at him again, that warmth had returned to his eyes. a Warmth he never thought he’d ever see again. It was an emotional reunion for the three (four including Shiki), of course. Tears, wails of relief and pain, the tightest hugs…maybe they could pick up the pieces of their life again, and start fresh.
Kanata and Allen were a little strained for some time, still feeling hurt by each other’s words. It was something the two talked about a lot. Kanata felt immense guilt for what he said, and Allen felt the same. Cozmez may have started as two, but it was Allen who made them whole. Cozmez would never be cozmez if one was ever left behind. They all needed each other to survive. It was something that both Kanata and Allen, in their grief, were blinded to. it would take time for them to heal, and to repair what has been broken, but they’d get through it, they always did.
In the present, the three have grown closer than ever, but also more willing to be more open with each other and others around them. Allen and Kanata had also grown closer emotionally, especially after what happened. Emotions would always be a high hurdle to jump over, but being able to understand each other more and learning how to support one another properly helped them mature as people. It was something Nayuta was grateful for too, watching some of the closest people in his life grow closer, even after hardship. They were cozmez after all, they’d get through anything.
