When you're stoned, baby, and I am drunk 
And we make love, it seems a little desolate 
It's hard sometimes not to look away 
And think what's the point 
When I'm having to hold this fire down 
I think I'll explode, if I can't feel this freely now 

 - ”Stoned” by Dido 

 
He had known that the end was coming before it ever happened. He felt it deep down, in 
his essence, his heart, his very soul. It happened… just like he had known that it would… 
just as he had played it out in his own mind, over and over, fearful and apprehensive… 
His lover left him.
His support.
His future.
His hope… 
He had known how, and even why, it was going to happen; he knew the motives and the 
plan. It was then that he pushed it all away, disconnecting himself from everyone and 
everything he knew and loved. He disappeared to wait. 
When the time came, he was ready. Three sides to this war and then there was him; He 
who would help the only one that had ever mattered fulfill their ends. The means to an 
end… and that was okay. Lives are expendable in war.  
His life was expendable.
If this was the only way he could be closer to Zechs, then so be it. Reasoning hadn’t 
worked and faced with this failure, he was defeated. He now knew that he would do 
anything for the blonde man. Absolutely anything. 

 
“Zechs… I love you…” 
The world watched in horror and adoration when he died. One slice of a beam; one lapse 
of consciousness. 
A means to an end. 
He hoped Zechs was happy; He’d given his life to make him that way. 
In the background, the seconds of stillness that followed the death, Zechs cried. 
The means to an end… The battle continued.
