So I know you said don't bother, but I really wanted to write you something.
And I had to unstress before my oral, so... there you go. *hugs*

This is rushed and un-beta'd. So please don't mind me. I'll edit it later but I wanted this to be up today.
Fandom: Baten Kaitos Origins
Pairing: Milly/Guillo, Milly/Guillo/Sagi (/marno?)
Rating: G
Warnings: Spoilers until the appearance of Tarazed


There are days when Sagi feels left out.

They're always together in close quarters, traveling the world as they are to fix the mistakes he did while trying to stop promachination, mistakes born of his ignorance and his incomprehension with Marno. They're always talking to each other, walking on each other, caping out, sleeping at the orphanage, bunking in the Sfida on their way from an island to another, and yet, there are time when he feels like there's a wall between them.

Or rather, a wall around them, his two companions, brought together because of him but somehow linked further than he could hope to be.

He doesn't really get it. There should hardly be anything in common between the lively, all too human girl and the magic-born puppet, and yet there's an understanding beetween those two -grudging but undeniably present- that he cannot hope to share. When they are together, Guillo looks more human in his temper and snark, and Milly as she relaxes seems to act less over-the-top, more naturally even though her natural state remains dramatic. She takes more pride in her strength instead of feeling self-conscious about it, teasing Guillo along the way about his frailty.

They bicker every step of the way, but they work flawlessly together, personalities and fighting styles complementary. They're in a world of their own, born of mystery and hidden pasts, and the uncovering of said pasts that they have recently achieved seems to have deepened this bond.

He should feel jealous but he just feels a bit lonely. There's this barrier that he doesn't know how to cross, because for all he has one of the souls that make up a god sharing his mind, there are hardships that these two have shared in some way or another and that he can only imagine. Sagi is shy, and he doesn't want to come between them, when they both need this companionship and understanding so much. He doesn't dare break through.

But he loves them, so he tries. They are united in dark humor, so he tries to be the light, the hope and innocence of the group, just like Marno's warm companionship is a warm fire pushing the darkness away from the legend of Malpercio. Things are never as dark as they appear to be, and all four of them are a proof of this.

Sagi is surprised, when he shyly approaches them as they talk, to see both suddenly gleaming at him, and suddenly find himself at the center of the world. He tries not to blush when Marno points out teasingly that their love for him is probably the strongest thing that ties them together.
