A/N: It might contain spoiler for the Kingsglaive movie ending

Summary: Two years ago Nyx had lost the love of his life because of Niflheim and once again the anniversary is around the corner. The only time where Nyx allows himself to watch the stars...

"Oh, look! Another one!", you called out excited, pointing at the sky as you saw another shooting star crossing the firmament.

Nyx chuckled and watched you more than the night sky. He always could see the stars, they never changed. But he didn't want to miss a second with you. Since you had entered his life, Nyx felt happy. He felt as if he had found his place in life. He was amazed by you and your whole being. He noticed every time how beautiful and easy life was when you were around.

"You're not even looking, Nyx. You will miss all the beautiful shooting stars!", you complained with a pout but as you saw Nyx' love-filled glance, you smiled softly.

With the back of his hand, he stroked over your cheek before he cupped your face gently, "You're my shooting star, YN. I don't need anything else as long as I have you in my life."

You swallowed thickly by the heaviness of the said words. You loved Nyx. More than anything. And the way he looked at you and how his voice sounded told you that this was something different. Something deeper. More meaningfully.

Nyx pulled something out of his pocket and kept it hidden in his closed hand. He considered his next step once again but he was certain what he wanted, "YN, I... I love you. There's no doubt that I will love you till the end of time. A life without you would be meaningless for me. So, I would like to... Do you wanna marry me?", he asked softly with a pounding heart while presenting you the ring. He was sure with you and still there was a little chance that you could say no-

"Yes! Yes, Nyx! I wanna marry you!", you called out, jumping against him that he fell on his back into the soft grass of the hill that was your special place.

Nyx chuckled about your overexcitement and embraced you. As you sat up on him, he put the ring over your finger to seal the promise he gave you to love you forever. He kissed you and leant back with a smirk on his lips, "Oh, you missed a shooting star.", he said teasingly.

You brushed along his nose with yours, "I don't care. All my hopes and dreams are lying right in front of me. I would be crazy if I would ask for more when I already have found the biggest treasure.", you whispered before you kissed him deeply...

Two years later...

Present...

Nyx looked at the skyline of Insomnia and the setting sun. It was a magical light, the one you always loved so much to watch because of all the different shades of colors. The first stars showed their shy light. It was the sight Nyx loved and cursed at the same time because every single star reminded him of you. Averting his eyes, he kneaded his hands to distract himself but it wasn't working.

Libertus found his best friend on the rooftop of the Kingsglaive headquarters and closed slowly up on him. Silently, he stepped next to Nyx, not sure how he could help him.

"You know sometimes I ask myself where's the reason why I am still alive while all the others had to die. It's not fair."

"Nyx...", Libertus sighed. To see him like this was always painful to watch because there was nothing he could do for his friend.

"I miss them!", Nyx whispered with a tears filled voice, leaning away so Libertus wouldn't see his tears, "I miss YN so damn much. It's been two years and still, it almost kills me."

"I know...", Libertus said helplessly. Nyx barely showed this side to someone not even in front of him. But Libertus wasn't surprised that Nyx' was out of control emotionally with the anniversary of your death around the corner. It was the hardest time for the hero.

Not just because of your death rather because your wedding had been planned. Just a few days were left til your big day. Everyone had been excited for the both of you. All friends. Your both families. And then, Niflheim attacked Galahd and everything changed like a merciless snap with the fingers.

Libertus looked up at the slowly growing nightsky of Insomnia with the sparkling waves of the wall. Between a bunch of clouds, he spotted a small and fast shooting star, "Huh... A shooting star. A very rare sight here in the city."

"Yeah, it's because of all the lights arounds us. With all the demons... it's never really dark anymore.", Nyx sighed, looking at the sky as well, missing the beautiful, warm summer nights of his home.

"I still can remember how you and YN went every night on this one hill for stargazing. The whole summer long.", Libertus said with a sad chuckle and a heavy voice. He also missed you. The lighthearted love of his best friend had left a big gap in many people's lives.

"YN had loved stars so much...", Nyx said but his voice broke, "Could you... I... I would like to be alone for a little while. Please.", Nyx asked without looking at his friend.

"Of course.", Libertus answered, patting his friend's shoulder to show his support before he left Nyx alone with his grief.

Nyx waited till the door closed behind Libertus before he looked up at the sky again, addressing you wherever you were, "How could you leave me, huh? We were supposed to be happy. Together. With a future. We should be married by now. You ... you should be wearing my name and not lying six feet under in the cold ground.", Nyx whispered and squeezed his eyes shut, sobbing soundlessly, "I'm too tired to fight alone... I can't do this any longer...", thick tears were rolling down his cheeks as he let his hellish sadness run free, "I want to be with you again... I already should be with you. YN, please... Take me to you.", Nyx begged with a defeated voice.

A soft, warm breeze caressed Nyx' tear-soaked skin in a way only you had stroked him to make him feel special. Nyx shuddered by the feeling because it felt as if you would be near. He was craving to get touched by you just one last time even if he knew it wouldn't happen. Another, slightly stronger breeze that ran through his hair how you always had loved to do it, let him open his eyes again.

Sniffling, Nyx looked up at the sky and saw a sparkling shooting star crossing the dark blue firmament. Like a lightning, your voice appeared in Nyx' head as he remembered the night, two years ago, as his world was still perfect because you were alive and lying in his arms. Suddenly, Nyx remembered the story you had told him back then...

"Lover stars?", Nyx asked confused, looking at your profile as you stared at the night sky of Galahd.

You looked up, meeting Nyx' love-filled glance. You could still see the happiness sparkling in his eyes that you had said yes to him, "Yeah... Don't you know the legend?"

"No... I- I don't know. But you could tell me.", Nyx whispered before pressing a gentle kiss on your temple.

"A legend says, if two people love each other strongly while alive, their love will endure everything, even the test of time. When they die, they will become beautiful stars to be part of the endless depths of the universe to live side by side forever.", you explained in a low, warm voice.

Something of this legend caught Nyx' attention which let him frown, "That sounds wonderful but... What happens if one of the lovers dies early?"

"Then, the one, who died without being with their partner, will become a sparkling shooting star, traveling through the nebulas, galaxies and visiting planets until the true love will join them."

"And what happens when they meet again? Are they flying around together?"

"Kinda… Then, they will cross the sky together one last time, side by side, to reach the place where their love and hearts belong. For us, I'm sure it will be here...in Galahd.", you said lovely, squeezing Nyx hand...

Nyx blinked with a sad smile, " You're my shooting star, YN. Have a nice trip through the universe while waiting for me. I'm already looking forward to being with you again my love."

Three days later, the Crown's City had fallen. Libertus watched Lunafreya leaving the chaos that was left of Insomnia after the darkest fight they all had ever witnessed. She was on her way to bring Noctis the ring. The ring, which should save the future.

The sun rose higher into the sky while Libertus just sat there on a stone, very tired and considering his next steps. As he looked up at the clear blue morning sky without the secure wall, two shooting stars were crossing the firmament side by side.

They had been fast and were barely to be seen. Just that there were two made it even possible for Libertus to spot them.

The two stars were as close as lovers would be and they were on their way back to Galahd.

The place where you and Nyx belonged to.

Together.

Forever.

The Innocence is so shady to me. It's weirdly sentient and really merciless. I mean I don't need to mention the whole fallen exorcist thing but what actually caught my attention is how much more personality Crown Clown has compared to the others. I mean when it first appeared the mask made it seem like it's an actual separate living being. There's no reason why Allen is not a fallen one yet. He has a Noah in him & is declared a traitor yet his Innocence doesn't turn against him. It seems.. rogue

Oh yeah definitly agreed and it does raises a lot of question.

Y’know your wording just made me think of something, CC does appear to Allen with a mask - it’s a fake face, but it is a face. All the others innocences we have seen in the show is this sort of... torso, therefore a complete lack of identity that a face could have. Especially note worthy since the Akuma (made of human souls) are more associated to their face.

It makes me wonder if therefore CC isn’t consciously trying to distance itself from the way the innocences usually behave and try to at least “adapt” to humanity - perhaps also because it knows that Allen’s compassion for the Akuma would make him more receptive to a face than to a faceless body?

the mask keeps it fake, but it remains more than the others innocences had done so far.

anyway sorry it’s you pointing out the mask that made me think of that kjhfd back to the ask

I completely agree for the rest of the innocence. I do think all of them behave with their own personal history in mind for instance like.. Miranda’s innocence was more benevolent with her than the likes of Lenalee’s seems to have been. And I could imagine that perhaps innocences who had seen the world could have a different outlook on life. I could see Miranda’s having spent a lot of time watching humanity and hell watching Miranda herself and grown found of her - while say, innocences that had been kept inside Hevlaska, which had spent very little time with the outside world, would not have reacted this way, would have prefered someone to feel grateful for their duty.

Hell now that I think about it we don’t even need to look further away than Lala: whenever Gzor was compatible or not with the innocence (i would be inclined to think not, else Lala could have defended them against the Akuma), there was a complete swift in behavior when Lala met him - she was first made for human’s consumption, then turned intoa killing machine when she was left behind and only being accepted by Gzor had her slowly develop more humanity...........

Considering how this arc was forshadowing i wonder if that’s not also kind of a thing that could apply to all innocences. Made for human (with the Flood, protecting them and all) but God eventually having abandonned any plans for the innocence, so the innocence could be trying to get back the attention of the humans and the creators and can only see that with some devastation and expecting devotion - in which cases innocences that are trying to get out of the mold, like CC would be how Lala would have evolved after Gzor - a way to look further than its original purpose and all.

There is definitly nor easons for Allen to not be a fallen yet by others innocences standarts. Suman’s innocence sure wasn’t that merciful. Mugen threatens Kanda despite the fact we know they have a closer bound than many innocence/compatible.

That CC is trying so hard.... It shows that this sentience can be challenged and pushed to a point. But that most of the innocences either are not in positions to do so, or just don’t want to.

and that’s... a whole can of worm but i suppose we need more about innocence’s sentience to be sure sure... But yeah by all account CC seems more rogue than anything. Acting on its own freewill at least and evolving in others manners. And that’s... interesting.

And that’s not even touching how its evolution copies the Earl a little. I don’t feel like the innocence should be this eagger to copy its enemy... and even more so allowing Allen to carry on the mask of “Mana” knowing in that aspect Mana is the Earl.

idk just... all fishy all around. I still have a lot of questions on that regard orz
