"Don't look so sad. I'm never leaving you..." - stardustedxsynchro
Life is Strange Sentence Pack [EP3]
His words brought a small yet sad smile to Jaden’s lips, his hand hesitating before grasping Yusei’s own, their fingers quickly intertwining as the storm raged before them. Yusei’s words were sweet and he knew that they came straight from his heart. Jaden believed him; Yusei had shown his devotion over and over again with every change of time, with every attempt at saving his life… even if it put Yusei through both emotional and physical hell.
Yusei was destroying himself… all for someone who was destined to die.
“I know,” Jaden called out through the storm, raising his voice so Yusei could hear him over the harsh wind, his gaze shifting to the tornado that was making it’s way to Neo Domino, threatening to wipe out every inch of the city and everyone in it. “I know you’re never leaving me…! Everything you’ve done to prove that means more to me than you’ll ever know…!”
But if that tornado had its way… then Yusei would never forgive himself – not when altering time to save Jaden was the reason it existed in the first place.
He couldn’t let that happen…!
Trembling fingers reached into the side pocket of his red jacket as he used his free hand to grab a cherished gift he had been holding onto every since he reunited with Yusei after five years apart – a photo of a butterfly with wings of brown and delicate specks of red. Yusei had taken it just moments before saving his life for the first time; it was a symbol of their reunion – of their promise to stay partners in crime and time.
It was a promise to stay together forever.
Jaden’s gaze fell to the photo, holding it close to him so the rain wouldn’t damage it… before slowly handing it over to Yusei.
“But… as much as I’m going to miss you…” Jaden squeezed Yusei’s hand, his voice breaking already with just one sentence as he struggled to ask for one final request – one that would change the both of their lives… forever.
