The aftermath of the battle of gruesome. Buildings were collapsed, as well as structures were broken apart creating more debris. Heroes, villains, and civilians alike laid unconscious. Leaving only a few standing heroes including yourself.
They looked at you with such solemn, knowing well what had happened. You rested on your knees, nestling Hado against your chest. She was unconscious, but you couldn’t let yourself think anything worse.
Deep down you knew. You knew she wouldn’t wake up to ask you what happened. You knew you wouldn’t be able to hear her laugh or see her smile again. And most importantly, you knew that you wouldn’t be able to fulfill your promise that you two made as 1st years.
The bittersweet memory came flooding to you like a river. It was right after you two had been dating for a few months and she wanted you to promise that no matter what, you would get married once you both graduated. How cruel was time? It was just tomorrow that you would both graduate. And you had the ring waiting in your dresser for the right moment.
Instead, she laid in your arms, cold and unmoving. Her chest didn’t rise or fall, and her fingers didn’t twitch. You embraced her tightly, whispering apologies for letting this happen to her. For not being able to get to her in time.
“I’ll make this right, I promise Nejire.” Pulling her bangs back you kissed her forehead before gently laying her down on the ground. You stood up, looking at the regulating device on your wrist. Although you’ve never actually used it for this purpose, only for teleporting around.
“No matter how many realities I have to travel, I’ll find one where you will live happily.” Glancing down at her, your (e/c) eyes filled with tears. ‘I have to do this.’ The other heroes protested, trying to stop you but it was too late. Before you knew it, you were in a narrow tunnel. Looking around, there was one-way glass on either side.
Beyond the glass held ghost-like figures of you and Nejire. Several of them resulting in the same fate. Her laying dead. You were too late. You continued down the corridor, searching for just one moment you can work with.
It must’ve been days, months, even years you spent in the tunnel. Just searching. Until you finally found one moment. Nejire was kneeling down on the battlefield, clutching a necklace to her chest and she was crying. Your name slipped out from her lips as her sobbing became louder.
“Nejire...” You reached out to her, your hand slipping through the glass. Suddenly, you were right behind her in this other world. “Nejire!” You spoke louder, running towards her. She spun around to look at you. Her mouth was agape in shock. “(Y/N)?” Her arms went limp at her side. “B-But they said you died...”
You dropped down to her, embracing her tightly. You finally found her. “Will you marry me?” You pulled away temporarily, brushing the hair out of her face as she looked at you with her tear-stained face. Hado nodded enveloping you in a bone-crushing hug as if she would lose you if she let go.
