This War that Binds Us

43; Lake

Takumi's P. O. V.
"Leo." I said softly.
"Mm, yes?" He responded, looking me in the eyes.
"Have you ever wanted to smash someones face into a pole so badly, and watch them bleed?" I asked him, rubbing his cheek.
He chuckled.
"No, but who is this your speaking of?"
"You, dimwit."
He sighed.
"What did I do this time?"
"First off, you never told me directly what was happening to Forrest, yet you had the guts to keep it away from me for so long. Do you know how that feels? My own child, getting hurt by others but not realizing a simple goddamn thing because I never heard of it? Leo, its pure hell. Not to fucking mention Kiragi." I spat.
"Takumi, you know why I didn't tell you. Because your a hot head. You tend to overwhelm certain situations. We can't have you beat up a 12 year old." He replied staring intensley in my eyes.
"That hurt." I said.
"Maybe you should control your attitude then." He remarked.
"What ignorance to say that, Leo." I said as I stood up.
He stood up with me.
"Come on, please don't tell me your mad about this." He whined.
I spat on his clothes.
"Thats your response." I responded.
Before I knew it, Leo had my hands pinned.
"Whats up, with your little attitude? You sure seem to think its funny. How about you apologize to me, or else." He threatened, his smile creeping onto me.
"Make me." I snorted.
He forced his lips onto mine, stealing my breath.
"Leo, okay, okay." I gasped.

...

He sat up straight and smiled.
"Finally got you to say sorry." He daid triumphantly.
I groaned.
"You always do."
"And you always give me claw marks." He added.
"Its not my fault." I shrugged and put my hands out for Leo to take.
He helped me up and brought me into an embrace.
"I love you so much." He said, his voice teary.
"Are you crying again, Leo?" I asked him.
He sniffed and shook his head.
"Allergies." He tried to play off.
"So, you're allergic to me?"
"Yes."

...

Later that day, we got a call.
We were summoned on the battle field.
I had to stay back as support, since my wound was too big. Its like a weakspot. One hit, one kill.
This time, Ravanna was fighting too.
So I was stuck behind with Catria and Minerva.
We fought for long distance.
They occasionally went up to front lines to fight, but always headed back.
Then the most unexpected thing happened.
Somebody fell.
That somebody was Leo.
I ran, as fast as I could.
I couldn't make it.
His hand, was just out of reach.
His face, I will never forget.
Then somebody else jumped.
It was Ravanna.
She went after him.
I heard Alfonse scream.

Ravanna's P. O. V.
Leo was rushed off the cliff.
I couldn't let him die. I could never.
I ran, and ran.
I wasn't afraid to jump.
When I reached the end of the cliff, Takumi looked up.
His teary orange eyes gleamed in the sun.
I was going to bring Leo back. I knew I was.
I heard Alfonse scream my name.
I saw Leo falling, heading straight for the lake.
I was, too.
I just have to make sure hes alright.
Yet again, I have children of my own.
Hell, I'm even carrying one right now.

Alfonse's P. O. V.
"RAVANNA!" I cried, hoping she would stop.
The woman I married. Crazy and selfless like she usually is, jumped off the cliff.
My sword dropped from my hands.
Sharena and Anna, shocked aswell.
We totally forgot the army was there.
They seemed to have disappeared from our site, and from our reality.
Chrom, Lucina, and Cordelia fought them off.
Laslow joined aswell.
Kagero jumped in, too.
Takumi was at the cliffs end.
He was cowered.
We could all hear his screams.
He started to get up, and headed to jump off the cliff.
Someone stopped him.
It was Elise.
I turned back to battle.
"CHARGE!" I screamed, wielding my sword again.
If I was going to die worrying about Ravanna, I would like to see this battle through.
My sword clashed with anothers, a lance spearing through my leg.
I winced as it was removed, and fell to one knee.
I felt tears streaming out of my eyes.
I dove for the lance user's legs.
They fell over, the lance piercing another enemies chest.
With my sword in other hand, I slashed their legs.
Take as many down as you can, Alfonse.
I said to myself.
Everyone was brought forth.
Yet Elise and Takumi were still at the cliffs edge.
Someone grabbed my arms and dragged me backwards.
It was Sharena.
She kneeled down and looked me in the eyes.
"Alfonse, find Ravanna and Leo."
