Original Luke Parallel/AU (Luke's Death and Asch's change)
I am suicidal I know. I a lot of you guys would kill me for this.XDXDXD
Okay, this fic plan started last year in my thoughts. Even earlier than my Kaizer!Guy one. I've posted a pic relating to that parallel, but no one noticed and that's ok.^^;;
This plan started because I already had my tolerance for AschXLuke up, and since I wanted to make an excuse for AschXGuy and AschXLuke at the same time... well... yeah...XD
Tell me if my timing or whatever in the story is off or I need to explain more (thanks to Dev!Disasterously-sweet for checking it though.<3). I didn't want to spoil myself more of ToA's before ending scenes, but I also didn't want to waste this parallel plan...ToT So yeah... *got spoiled more*
WARNING: ANGST, yes, a LOT of them.DX
Luke knows he was fading... And Asch could feel that a part of him was disappearing...
At the outskirts of Chesedonia. It was unusual for the replica to be so desperate to meet with his original after what happened back at Grand Chokmah. Asch just found it weird that Luke wanted to see him in secret tonight-- away from everyone else.
Maybe the replica's too nervous? Besides, they're heading off to Eldrant tomorrow...
"So, what is it you want to talk about?" he asks, feeling rather irritated and all as usual, "Would you rather do the fight NOW?" His replica just smiled goofily at him and scratched the back of his head-- acting like he wanted to say something but too embarrassed to do so.
What? Will the replica try to convince him to give up the idea of fighting each other? But Luke's facial expression doesn't say so and somehow, Asch could somewhat feel that-- whatever it is Luke wanted to say, it's very important.
The mood around them changes, "Asch... There's no time for that, cause I... don't have much time..." Luke whispers and Asch just raises a brow, "I can feel that I'll disappear sooner or later..." the original knows about the results of Luke's check-up after the events at the Tower of Rem, but he doesn't want to think that it's already his replica's time.
"Nonsense! We still have a SCORE to settle and--!" he was about to walk away but Luke held his shoulders, "-- You won't make me stay this time, Replica!" he turns back to his replica and saw him crying, "Stop crying you useless garbage!"
But why does he feel like crying himself...? Did Luke overuse his strength?
Thinking that the replica will get his senses back if he ignores him, he simply said, "Go back to the inn, you're just thinking too much--!" then he felt Luke tightly embrace him.
"You can have your name back now..." he whispers. Asch could feel the embrace loosening, Luke was slowly disappearing, "I'm sorry that it had to be so sudden..."
"I... I don't want it back!" the original growls, hesitantly and slowly returning the embrace, "One of us will have to beat Van! Stop thinking that you're going to die!"
Luke shook his head, enjoying the first and the last display of 'concern' from his original, "I want to be selfish for the last time... Please go to them? I don't... want them to... worry..." after the replica said that he completely fades and disappears in Asch's arms.
'Thank you, Asch...'
He just stood on his place as he began to curse, "You bastard replica...!" and he allowed himself to cry, for sadness or anger towards his replica, he doesn't know...
~
"Danna?" Noir and her band of thieves was shocked to see their master looking rather tired (from crying) as he returned to them.
Ginji was fixing a bit of his Albior, but managed to stop, "Asch-san, were you crying!?" he asks worried.
The events just happened too fast, he must also think of what to do soon or Luke's friends would be too distressed for his disappearance. "Noir," he calls for the woman and she approaches him.
"You're crazy..." her eyes were glaring as the redhead whispers something to her, "Won't you look like...?" she was about to ask, but she stops when she saw Asch serious on his request, she shrugs, "Fine, I'll cut your hair."
He doesn't really know most of them; that glassed man, the puppeteer, and Van's younger sister... For sure they'll be sad about the news of Luke's death.
And Asch also began to think that he's not ready to face Natalia and Guy after overhearing-- or rather eavesdropping-- on their conversation earlier at Chesedonia. He knows Natalia would understand why he did this.
'... I want to start over with him again...' he reminisced what the blonde man said, but will Guy forgive him for replacing Luke?
It's not that he's going tell them he's 'Asch' as soon as he gets there. He's just trying to fulfill his replica's last request of him-- so they won't worry and think that everything's still going fine for the time being.
His thoughts ran as Noir began to cut his hair, styling it like Luke's. 'Will I also change like you did, replica...?' his replica changed when he cut off his hair, he was somehow hoping that he would too if he sets his mind on it.
"So... he's gone...?" Urushi sadly asks and Asch just gave a sound of agreement. They were supposed to ask more, but Noir signals them not to from behind the redhead. They'll just make him feel more depressed over the topic.
"You won't need us anymore after this, huh?" York nervously asks a different question.
Asch crosses his arms over his chest, "I'll need you guys to stay with Ginji if ever 'Asch' needs to assist Luke's group, but I'm not sure if 'Asch' would want to help them after asking for a fight," he frowns, confused of what to do next, "I'll probably be too busy pretending as 'Luke' to order the Black Wings around."
When his haircut was done, he began to remove his tabard, and Noir hands him what looked like... Luke's clothes. Asch looks up at her with questioning eyes, "Where'd the hell did you get that?" and she just kindly smiles at him.
I bet some people also found this scene, but this is a few more events afterwards.8D
