“It's ridiculous!! Don't you agree??”
A chill ran down Luminosity's back. Was he hallucinating? Was he dreaming?
“..Lumi?? I'm talking to ‘ya!!” — A familiar voice echoed, making Luminosity's ears ring..
The Absolute Radiance rubbed his eyes, looking around him..
….He was back.
Back to an unwanted memory. One he could never truly forget.
In front of him stood someone, someone he wished he could've just.. Forgotten.
Eden.
The sight made Luminosity flinch back, his body breaking into a cold sweat. Rain was pouring down, and the Devourer had an umbrella open to cover them both.
Eden's hand closed in on the collar of Luminosity's shirt, pulling him closer — “Cuzzo, you alright??”
Luminosity had to gather all his courage to push Eden's hand away, that black, gooey residue staining his hands and clothes in a way that wanted to make him break down into tears.
“...I'm… Fine, Eden. I'm okay.”
“You’re just acting weird, man!.. Anyways, back on topic…”
—
Luminosity woke up, he was sprawled out on the floor of his own residence, many empty bottles scattered around him… Why couldn't he forget? Why must he hold onto that stupid memory?
The Absolute Radiance shifted, tears running down his face as he curled up into a ball on the floor.
That was eons ago. The one he cherished so deeply was gone, never to be found again.
“I– I’m sorry… Fuck, I’m so sorry… I wish I could've.. Could've… done something….” — Luminosity's words drowned in his own sobbing, he hated himself for what he did (or, well, didn't) do.
Maybe someday, on another rainy night, they could go back to running around, getting themselves dirty… Someday, Luminosity hoped.
