“Dearest Kunikuzushi
I’m so so sorry. I’m sorry. Oh I’m sorry, leaving you here feels so absolutely horrible knowing that I was one of the very few people that treated you like you were human.
But, for now, visit my family at least four times every month. Teucer loves you so much you know? He thinks you’re the best part of the family. My mother adores you Kuni, so does Tonia, Anthon and all my siblings.
I love you too. I adore you. I would’ve done anything to stay by your side. Absolutely anything, no matter how much mora and lives I’d take. I’d do it all to stay buy your side my darling.
You’re so beautiful, I don’t think I told you that enough, you always knew, but I think you were more beautiful than anything on Teyvat. Your beauty made even the archons go to shame.
I’m so madly in love with you, always have been, always will be, in any lifetime.
Even if it were to break me into pieces, every lifetime I’ll love you.
You always saw the world in such a different manner to a lot of people, it’s wonderful and it also influenced my view on the world.
You’re also incredibly strong my love, I always admired and complemented that, you were always so insecure of that. Just know the reason I was so happy when I got an electro delusion was because you had electro powers and you’d have to teach me. Your skill was what helped me become strong, you are so strong.
I guess you don’t wanna hear me talk… well, read my writing. Haha, I hate writing this, but my gut told me I had to.
I wish I was like you, not easy to kill and immortal. It would solve everything. But the world is very cruel. We’ll meet again, my beloved.
I know you always thought marriage was a scam, so I never proposed or did anything.
But, maybe now you’ll accept? There’s a ring here. I love you my balladeer
Till we meet again my beloved
Ajax”
Kunikuzushi cried. Ajax’s letter hurt so much to read. He was gone, not coming back.
He felt pathetic, crying over a mortal? Well, not just any mortal, the one who taught him what emotions are, the one who stuck. Now gone?
Kunikuzushi couldn’t handle it. He hasn’t talked to anyone in almost a month, he was going to go to Ajax’s house, to see the family who he was easily welcomed into.
It wouldn’t be the same without Ajax but..
He thinks he can do it. He has too. Ajax asked, he can’t let down Ajax, it’d make him feel worse.
The family had been destraught. Their son, older brother, was gone.
The photos around the house made Kunikuzushi cry.
He cried with the family, Ajax, not being around was so weird.
But soon, years had past, now being centuries. Kunikuzushi was still waiting for those same blue eyes and ginger hair.
He’ll find Ajax again. He promises, sealing the promise by kissing the ring that came with Ajax’s letter all those years ago.
“I’ll see you soon my darling. Even if it means pain.”
