'You were always there for me The tender wind that carried me A light in the dark shining your love into my life You've been my inspiration Through the lies you were the truth My world is a better place because of you'
His light, his guiding light time and again. Akito is stronger than he thinks. His light... is guiding him back even now. He takes a deep breath, still struggling, but winning the battle. He brings himself up a little, enough to bring his free hand to lightly touch Akito's cheek.
Curses. Pain. Fear. Danger. Worth every single one just to be with them. He wouldn't wish this place upon anyone, but if it meant being with his sons, so be it. He'll deal with the fear and pain, the curses... He'll deal with it just to be with them.
Snap!
Game over, Jade smiles a little at the light, bringing himself up into a sitting position. "Akito... I..." He glances briefly at the dark, then curls his arms around the light, letting Akito's hands go. Burring his face on his guiding light's shoulder before whispering softly.
"I promised that I wouldn't leave you... Thank you."
Tears fall again, as he clings to the light, shivering slightly.
Too close to dying again, but with his sons by his side, he'll always be back. Always. He believed in them. Just as much as they believed in him.
'You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'coz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me'
