I don't usually write, but this seemed important. Earlier, I realised why Yuri chose to give up part of his life, and I decided to write the consequences of his actions as a narrative.
The setting where this takes place isn't important... What is important is that it'll happen.
Yuri met with Sodia privately. Although he didn't give a concrete reason for wanting to speak with her, Sodia obliged (begrudgingly?).
"What do you want, Yuri Lowell?" she asked coldly (as usual).
Going against his usual nonchalant attitude, Yuri responded seriously: "I wanted to tell you some things," he took a step closer to her, causing her to stiffen defensively, "About why you're back again."
"How do you know that?" She snapped, revealing her obvious suspicion.
Yuri didn't blame her for being suspicious. After all, they were almost enemies despite sharing the same love for Flynn (as Estellise showed me in her story). He sighed and put his hand on his hip. "Listen, I know because I'm the reason you're back now."
Thankfully, she didn't have her sword, so she just started at him aggressively. "Watch what you say, Lowell!"
His eyes darkened. "I'm serious," his words didn't seem to have any effect other than enraging her further, yet he continued, "I gave up everything for you, Sodia."
She made a face showed her obvious contempt. Why would Yuri even say such a thing to her? Yuri answered that unspoken question as he continued to explain his actions to her.
"I gave up my entire life here and my best friend for you. Even thought we come from different worlds, I want to be part of yours."
Her face flushed red in the same way Rita's does. She was repulsed but a little flattered at the same time. "I- I," she sputtered as she tried to find the words to reject him. "I could never let you! The Commandant is the only one for me!" Even though she never said it, it was obvious. Everyone knew, and Yuri couldn't even be surprised that she finally said it, but it still hurt.
He gripped his head in pain. The corners of his eyes were wet with tears he was too proud to let go. Something about his pitiful state made Sodia drop her hard façade, and she walked over and laid a gentle hand over his. It was warmer and softer than he had imagined, and as he opened his eyes and looked into hers, he knew that beneath her love for Flynn, she actually did like him too.
She might have realised this as well, for only a moment, she pulled her hand away and stepped away from him. "Get out of here," she told him in the same cold voice she usually reserved just for him.
Yuri didn't argue. His head still hurt and now his heart did too. He turned around and waved at her over his shoulder as he left. Once he was outside, he leaned back against the door and cried. He realised he should have just talked to Tyr before making that tra
The End.
I hope that clears everything up.
