tenminutes | PM to Battler > RL with Battler

[ It was done. Everything was done, and she didn't... feel it anymore. That horrid pain. They'd forgiven her, told her she hadn't needed to fight anymore. And now.. now.. She couldn't stop crying. Everything seemed like it was okay and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing and finally letting herself just feel.

Almost as if on queue, one of the broken screens flickered a bit and popped up with the community. It didn't record her, it didn't do anything. It was just there in case she needed it, or that's what it seemed like. Yuri crawled over to the screen, wiping a few tears from her eyes and trying to take a deep breath as she pulled up the private message function to reach Battler. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself enough for a voice message to him, but her voice was still weak. It was too obvious that she was crying and couldn't stop. Even her breathing wasn't steady. ]

Battler, j-just come. No-- [ She fought back a sob. This was probably pretty pathetic, but since it was him.. she didn't really care if he knew that she needed him right now. ] Now!

[ That was it. She just had to hope that he wasn't too busy to come just.. hold her. The voice message clicked off and she buried her face in her hands. ]

[...She didn't need to say it twice, as soon as he heard the message he was already preparing to go there before she had clicked it off.

She never cried, at least not openly like this. The only time he had ever seen her cry would be when they're alone, when he's right there ready to hold her and everything.

In an instant the golden butterflies appear in that room she's in, soon taking on the form of Battler. As soon as he's there he sees her crying, his heart sank at that. He had briefly taken a look around as well, seeing everything destroyed.... what on earth...?

But it wasn't the time for any of that, he just needed to be near her. He walked over to her, kneeling down beside her and reaching out. He hugged her, held her close, not saying anything for the moment until eventually he spoke up.]

I'm here Yuri....

[ Yuri didn't say anything either. She barely could, her throat was closed up from crying so much. She was a mess, but she'd managed to call him here. Even with broken computers, she'd still managed to be able to connect with him. Battler was the only one she trusted to see her like this and the first person who came to her mind when she thought of someone she wanted with her.

'You don't have to suffer alone, Onee-chan.'

As Battler pulled her closer, her hands went and clung to his clothes. She hadn't been alone for a while, but somehow it felt different. Like she could actually.. let herself do this without hating herself for it. The tears flowed harder and she buried her face against his chest, sobbing more loudly when she tried to say something. ]

[He would do anything for her, she's the one he loves more than anything. Seeing her like this... it truly kills him, he doesn't want her to cry or be hurt or anything. If he could he would take her pain away, but he still doesn't know.... why she's crying.

Battler placed a hand on her back, moving it up and down in a comforting manner as he tried to calm her down. He would just let her cry though, there was no need for words right now.]

[ Yuri wasn't crying because she was in pain. It was unfair of her not to tell Battler that, but she was having trouble finding the words. Her throat was still tight, so she cried until she managed to quiet down a little bit. Her voice was tight when she finally did manage to talk, higher pitched than usual from the strain. She hadn't cried like this in so long. ]

I did it, Battler.

[ It wasn't much, but she managed to laugh a little, though it was still full of tears. All that pain, sorrow, hurt.. it was melting away. She didn't know what to do. Everything she'd gone on for except for the friends she'd made in the community was fading away. ]

[...She did it? Did what?

Battler blinked a few times, trying to think of what she had done... did she find god? Did she find what she was looking for or.. something else? He continued to just rub her back, holding her close to him.]

Tell me what happened...

[ God.. Sure. She'd found what was acting as God in this world. She'd killed it dead. This technological massacre surrounding her was proof of that. That wasn't what she meant though. ]

I saved everyone. [ There's a little laugh. It sounds more.. amused, than bitter or anything that she doesn't mean. ] It was my fault this happened in the first place, but I did it. I saved them.

[Saved.... is that true...?]

You saved them? Everyone here? Or... [or anyone else?]

[ Her crying starts up a bit more now. Yuri's mind isn't exactly in a completely cohesive state, so Battler might have to jump to some conclusions here. ]

Then they said-- they said that it was okay now. I-I did a good job, and I didn't-- I don't have to fight or be alone or-- [ She's holding onto Battler more tightly right now. Part of her barely knows what she's doing, holding onto that was all she had for so long, that she doesn't have to do those things anymore.. that they were the ones who told her. By saving the rest of the SSS, they could let her know that it was okay for her to stop feeling guilty. She'd become strong enough to protect the people she cared about, finally. ]

[He hugs her tightly in return, just wanting to take all that sorrow away from her in this moment. He loved her- he loved her so damn much and yet he wasn't there for anything she went through. With this he knew, he just had to bring about a miracle that would get her to be alive again... there was no way he wouldn't try that.]

It's alright Yuri I get it. You did do a good job, I'm sure of it- you've always done a good job.

[ Yuri knew she wasn't saying it right. She didn't know how to tell him that all that sorrow, it was just.. flowing out of her. It didn't.. hurt. Anymore. She shook her head quickly. ]

I-It doesn't-- it doesn't hurt, Battler. It's gone, I--

[ Yuri let go of him, wiping her eye even as she was still crying, but she managed to smile. Even with tear pouring from those bright green eye of her, it wasn't pain in them. That smile seemed, for once, despite the desolate and destroyed scenery around them, to not be carrying the weight of three other people. ]

I-I'm okay, Battler, I just.. I can't stop crying-- [ Her smile stayed and she let out a little laugh. One of relief, then she leaned her forehead back against his chest. ] It doesn't.. hurt... [ Yuri was obviously exhausted. She was still awake, still conscious, but she was staying still now against Battler's body. ]

[That's good, she's found her peace in this world- he's so happy for her and yet at the same time... rather worried. Will this mean she'll end up leaving him? Disappearing and just leaving him behind...? He wouldn't be angry if she did though, he would just be beyond lonely without her.

Still, he can't help but smile as well.]

I'm glad.... it's okay, just let it all out. It must feel like such a relief huh? To know you saved them and it's going to be okay?

I knew you could do it.

[ Yuri got quiet again, at least with her words. Soft sobs still fell from her lips as she cried into Battler's chest. Yuri honestly didn't know she could cry this much. It had hurt so badly, so constantly she hadn't known what it was like to actually feel like things would be okay. Even being dead didn't seem like it was that bad.

Yuri was out of words though. It seemed silly now, to call Battler here just to get his shirt all messy. Somehow Yuri didn't mind it though. Being able to call someone and have him drop everything.. She definitely wasn't alone. Not anymore. She didn't have to be. ]

I love you.

[And she would never be alone, he would make sure that she had everything she wanted and wasn't lonely or anything.]

I love you too, more than anything.

[He moved to kiss the top of her head, his lips linger there before pulling away.]

[ Yuri's arms wrapped around Battler more tightly and she buried her face in his chest, crying harder now. That's where she would stay until her body eventually gave out from exhaustion. ]

[...Did she pass out?

In any case, Battler simply holds her for a bit more, waiting for some time before he finally gathers her up, picking her up bridal style and he's just going to move out and go to that hospital to set her down somewhere.]
