Cowboy Bebop: Jet/Spike: Five Emotions, regret
Title: Regrets
Author/Artist: rosehiptea
Theme: Five Emotions: regret
Rating: PG
Word Count: 152
Note: Spoilers
When a life ends, the star falls, and disappears.
Jet stares at Laughing Bull as if he could somehow make the words mean something different, as if the stars could say that Spike will live and that would make it true.
Pointlessly he argues, not even mentioning any of Spike's names, because that could also make his death real. Thinking that he can somehow magically tether Spike to this planet, to the Bebop itself, and then he would never leave.
Death is always at your side.
Who knows that better than Jet? How many people has he seen die by now? But he had told himself that Spike could settle for a future instead of living out his past, and it was never true.
Now he stands in front of Laughing Bull, wanting to change the script for the last act, but the life he finally wanted to save is already gone.
