Thinking about everything with Rhyme and Beat in TWEWY and getting unnecessarily sad about fictional siblings bc just. Fuck.
Like. Imagine you die saving the one person in the world that doesn't treat you like shit. Then minutes later you realize she still ended up dying because you weren't strong enough to protect her. And there was a hidden price for trying to come back, what you value more than anything, and in your case that was her entire memory of you. So she treats you like a stranger and it breaks your heart but you can't say anything about it. And her price was her dreams and goals so she's outwardly happy but silently depressed bc she has nothing to strive for.
And then. Just when it seems like everything's going okay. You make a mistake and this person you failed to save who can't even remember that you tried, she saves you. At the cost of her own chance. Without even remembering a thing about you, just because that's the kind of person she is, and in her mind you have more to live for because she gave up her dreams. And now you're still here but she's gone, because you still couldn't protect her.
Then someone suggests a way to maybe save her, but it involves aligning with the people that destroyed her in the first place and may not even work. You can't go back, there's nothing left for you if you do, the one person that meant anything to you is gone. And so you dedicate whatever you have to doing whatever you need to do to bring her back. Because there's no point in getting a chance to live if she isn't there.

I Loved You - Yusaku x Ai Drabble
Wrote this drabble in-between other projects. It's mainly an extended scene of Yusaku's reaction to Ai's death.
Here’s a link to the AO3 version if you’d prefer: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41131317
“Hey, can I ask you one final thing?” Ai’s voice was hardly more than a whisper, as it was clear he was fighting to find the strength to speak. “You lazily gave me the name Ai, but I really like it. If this name has a definition, what do you think it is?”
Yusaku, barely able to see through the tears in his eyes, knew his answer almost immediately. “Ai means ‘to love people’.” He stopped, unable to go on.
“I think so too. Now I understand that definition. Bye, Play- Yusaku.” Tears poured from his eyes as his body began to fade. “I loved you.”
And with those words, Ai disappeared, splitting into a million pieces like dust in the wind. A sob broke past Yusaku’s lips. He tried to clutch the specks of what remained of his partner to no avail.
When Yusaku opened his eyes again, he was suddenly hunched over some railing and he realised he was back in the real world. Before him stood Ai, his eyes closed and head hung low. His body swayed over the railing, falling to the ground below with a loud slam.
“Ai!” Yusaku gasped, vaulting over the railing.
It was a few metre drop but Yusaku didn’t care. He had to get to Ai. All around him were several copies of Ai’s body, all flopped on the ground and unmoving. Horror shot through Yusaku like a bullet to the chest. Falling to his knees, he grabbed Ai, what had once been the real Ai, in his arms as he choked back sobs. Then all of it came out in one loud cry.
“AI!”
Yusaku clutched the body of his partner, fresh tears streaming down his face as he pulled Ai into his chest.
“I loved you.” Those words… they’d haunt Yusaku forever. He’d never be able to unhear them, much less answer them. Because Yusaku had an answer. He’d done everything he could to deny it and hide it from even himself, never wanting Ai to know. Now it really would be “never.” And Yusaku was left with nothing but horrible heart-wrenching regret for every bad thing he’d ever said to his partner.
Trying not to sob, Yusaku leaned toward Ai’s ear. “I loved you too, Ai… my Ai…” Trembling, he placed a soft kiss on Ai’s forehead.
It seemed useless to say now. Ai would never know, even though he deserved to. He deserved the world. He deserved so much more than Yusaku had ever given him.
Yusaku had finally said it, but it was too late.
Or… was it?
A strange feeling surged in his heart, as if the gap Ai’s absence had left was being filled again. It was the same sensation he’d had when Ai came back after his sacrifices against Revolver and Bohman. Yusaku gazed up at the sunrise, his heart swelling with emotion.
“He’s alive.”
Yusaku couldn’t exactly confirm it, but still, there was a possibility. A hope. Ai was a part of Yusaku and he could sense his presence in his heart as strongly as he had before.
“Ai…” Yusaku put his arms around Ai’s body. “I promise… I’ll find you… and I’ll make things right.”

🎶Martyn??
🎶 A headcanon about music
martyn likes to sing and is pretty good at coming lyrics on the spot; not to make everything about my favorite guy but he and oli have definitely had little music moments together in the series they’ve both been in
martyn mostly sings for fun and oli likes teaching people some of the actual techniques behind singing so sometimes they just get together and “practice”
send me asks boy
