Summary II: Rath would have never thought he would live to feel so much pain... Never... (Rath-centric; one-sided RathxLyndis, EliwoodxLyndis, and one-sided NinianxEliwood)

II: Pain.

There are different kinds of pain.

But there’s only one that is unbearable; the kind that doesn’t come with a physical wound.

The kind of pain that makes your heart aches.

The emotional pain.

And that was what Rath felt at that moment.

Father Sky… it hurts…

He suddenly wished he hadn’t come out of the inn; he wished he hadn’t agreed to travel with them.

He wished he hadn’t fallen in love with her.

A soft moan brought him back to reality and his world fell apart.

(So much pain.)

The scene in front of him broke his heart more and more with every second.

(He should’ve known…)

There, in front of his eyes, was… Lady Lyndis…

(It was Lyn… not Lady Lyndis… just Lyn… His Lyn!)

…And Eliwood.

Lord Eliwood.)

They were near the lake.

Eliwood was sitting on the ground, leaning back on a tree. Lyndis was sitting on his lap, facing him.

(She was straddling him!)

And they were kissing.

(The hints were always there… How could he not see them?)

Sweet and innocent kisses.

(Those kisses were supposed to be his!)

That were growing more and more passionate with every passing moment.

And Rath just couldn’t take his eyes off of them, no matter how hard he tried.

…Too much…

Another moan forced him to focus his attention on the couple.

“Eliwood…”- Lyndis softly said, breaking the kiss.

The Pheraean Lord just looked at her, lovingly; caressing her back and waist the same way.

(He should be the one caressing her.)

“…I think we should go back to the inn.”- she finished.

Eliwood hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder. “Why?... These are the only times when we can be together the way we want to… without hurting anyone.”

“I know, I know.”- Lyndis said, pulling away a little. “But we have to set off at dawn tomorrow… today, actually.”

Eliwood smiled at her. “All right. Let’s go back, then.”

They both stood up, grabbing their swords.

“But…”- he suddenly said, taking the young lady in his arms. “You’ll have to give me a nice goodnight kiss.”

Lyndis smiled and nodded.

(That was his smile!)

Rath hid behind a tree when he saw them walking towards him, and waited until the happy (happy!) couple was out of sight.

(She was happy; happy with the lord. And there was no room for him in her heart.)

A soft noise behind him caught his attention: a sob.

He turned around, only to find a girl, but not any girl: it was the dancer, Ninian.

Rath could do nothing but watch how she cried.

He wanted to pity her, but he couldn’t, because he knew she felt exactly like him at that moment: broken.

The nomad smiled bitterly.

At least he had someone with him to share the pain.

End.

Ok, that's all, i know, it's sad... but, that's what came to my mind. So,'till the next drabble/oneshot!!

Don't forget your reviews!! They're always welcomed!!
