I Will do Anything for You, Even if I Lose the Stars

Voltage felt numb, but his mind still worked. His instincts. Somewhere deep inside of him he knew her feelings. Just like he had known Glacier. Somewhere deep inside him was the Voltage that wanted to suffer alone, and didn't want to drag his family down with him. Somewhere in him was the knowledge, the ability to know what to do when it came with his siblings. He always knew what to do with his siblings, even when he himself didn't know. He listened to her, his eyes staring at her, his jaw clenched, and he slowly twisted to roll onto his side to face her. He didn't wince, didn't move once as she spoke. He knew she felt his pain strongly, he could see it in her eyes. It was what made their family so special. Even in his anger, his resentment, he knew that she was there for him. In some way, even if she wasn't there for his initial pain, the initial and fatal crack. She was here now. And while a small part of him, an unknowing, unthinking, grieving part of him, wanted to drag her beneath the waves with him, to feel what he felt, the brother and guide he had always been knew that he had to right this for her.

It wasn't fair to blot out her light as well.

He parted his lips slowly before sighing and resting his chin on the sand again. He didn't have the strength to lift his head, didn't have the energy to go to her. He was wasting away, slowly. In two weeks he had barely slept, barely eaten. But he would stare at her and slowly lift the forelimb that wasn't pressed into the earth. "C'mere.." He whispered hoarsely. He needed her at his side, needed his family. Illume was gone, Current was...going somewhere he couldn't find, and Voltage himself was losing himself by the day. His element, his lifeblood was his family, and dear god...he needed them.

"Please." He whispered in a pitched voice, feeling the tears slip down his cheeks again. They were endless. He could fill an ocean with his tears.

"Burn Baby Burn"
