future of despair II :: inigo and henry

[forflowers]

Henry: Ah, it's Inigo~ I'm glad you're safe~
Inigo: F-Father!? Why!? You, you should be dead...!
Henry: That's right, I've heard that this world's me had died a long time ago~ So your father and I are different people. I came here from another world to save you~ Being surrounded by enemies like this and all, you've sure done your best. It was tough, wasn't it...?
Inigo: !! N, no... Something like this is fine. Because it's always been like this. I'm completely fine. So, even without the strength of my father from the other world, I'm sure it'll work out. Ahaha...
Henry: .....
Inigo: What's wrong... Father.
Henry: Hey, Inigo. Have you always laughed like that? Is that... your true smile?
Inigo: W-what are you talking about, Father? Fake smiles and true smiles, that's just...
Henry: Nope. Your smile just now was fake. I understand, forcing yourself to smile. I don't wanna see that kind of face. If you want to cry, cry. If it's tough, say that it's tough. There's no need to put on a brave face. I'm your... father, afterall.
Inigo: !! What... are you saying... It's not like I... want to cry... it's not like I... I th-think... it's t-tough ... but... w-why am I... c-crying... uuu...
Henry: There, there, Inigo. You finally showed me how you truly feel. ... you know, before I meet Olivia, I had no idea what true emotions... what true smiles were. Meeting her changed me... so now this is my turn to show someone what a true smile is. It might be impossible right away, but I want to help you so that I'll be able to get back your true smile.
Inigo: ..... no... I don't want that...
Henry: Eh~? Why?
Inigo: "Why"...? Father might die because of me again, you know? Both Mother and Father died protecting me... even though you were smiling just moments before, you were gone right before my eyes...! I don't want that kind of feeling again! Being separated from my father again scares me... that's why saying something like that... is just too cruel...
Henry: Inigo...
Inigo: So please, don't say that you'll fight for me... hurry and go back to your own world. Okay? If you go now you'll still be able to make it...!
Henry: ..... I won't die. Because I don't want to make you suffer anymore. And you know... you haven't been separated from your father in this world at all.
Inigo: Huh?
Henry: You have half of my life, and half of Olivia's life in you. That's why you can meet us whenever you desire. Forever, as long as you're alive, okay? But if you die, that's when Olivia and I truly die. I don't want to lose you.. nor the others in this world. So let me protect you. Let me fight together with you... Inigo.
Inigo: Father..... I understand. Thank you... but promise me. Promise that you'll definitely live. If you don't... I'll curse you. I might not look like it, but my magic is pretty strong, you know?
Henry: Heh, how scary~ In that case, I definitely can't die. I'll do my best and fight, so I won't get cursed by you~
Inigo: ... yeah. Thank you, Father. It's definitely... a promise, okay.
