Eternal flame (Retrospection)

Y/n's pov

Everything was dark around me. I couldn't see anything. It felt like I was falling and floating at the same time. I was a little disoriented but quickly got back to my senses as I noticed Grim and Idia falling as well. I quickly caught them and... it felt like I was on the ground again.

The two had their eyes closed so I checked on them. Grim's pulse and breathing were regular: he was just sleeping, probably exhausted after everything. I placed him down. I then checked Idia... he was bleeding and more blood was coming out of his mouth, his pulse was also faint... because of me.

I could do like I did with Azul but... 'Would that work? 'Are we still...' I put a hand over my heart but a blue glow surprised me. I glanced down to see Krystal's gem glowing and pulling towards him "... Are you... sure? You're weak now and I don't know if I could fix you. Doing this would mean giving your life away."

The gem pulled more insistently "... Thank you for everything." Holding back tears, I took off the necklace and it lingered a moment as if acknowledging my words before wrapping around Idia's neck. It glowed even brighter, transferring to Idia's whole body. Once it faded, the blue of the gem also faded into a lighter shade.

Idia coughed out, his heart rate picking back up "Hey. Hey. Take it easy." I hold him, patting his back gently "Deep breath in. Deep breath out."

He followed my instructions, still a bit weak. He then slowly gripped my shirt "Do you hate me?"

"Huh?"

"Surely you do... Still a part of me hoped we would still be... something." He had his face buried in my chest but I could tell he was on the verge of tears "But... I guess I'd rather lose you this way, rather than having..."

I spoke up, understanding "You're stealing my lines." I caressed his hair "I've been very very bad. I ruined so much and... I almost killed you. I'd get if you hated me. I'd rather have that than you not being here anymore."

He gripped my shirt tighter "I don't hate you... I could never. Y/n, you are so special to me... I'm the one who ruined everything."

"You have weird tastes but... I don't hate you either. I'd probably happily let you ruin my life."

"And here I was supposed to be the only one who doesn't cause you problems..." He wrapped his arms around my torso "... Still friends?"

I smiled softly "Always."

We fell into a comfortable silence until I broke it "... Remember the first time I ever gave you a nickname? I called you Idy. After the look I saw on your face... I changed it real quick and never brought it up again."

"... You can call me Idy." He said softly.

I was a bit surprised "What? Are you sure?"

He looked up from my chest, smiling a bit, his face a bit flushed from crying "I'm sure Ortho would have liked it."

"... I... love the two of them. They're cute and... made you happy." I looked into his eyes.

He paused for a second "... Actually, I think they both love you as well... Αλλά σε αγαπώ με έναν εντελώς διαφορετικό τρόπο."

My heart skipped a beat. 

Suddenly the room glitched and The Door appeared behind us. I was suddenly filled with dread at the sight of it 'Why now?' All the electronic locks were now unlocked, the same two keys remaining missing.

"What's wrong?" Idia was more concerned about me since that from his position, he can hear my heart racing.

"Uh... you made my heart skip a beat~" I wink, acting like nothing but he didn't seem to buy it, frowning a bit 'Unusual...' The room switched to the hallways of Styx. I sighed softly "Okay. We're about to see the reason behind your trauma."
