A much older Eraqus sat in the dark, holding a glass of wine as he stared blankly ahead at he watched the embers of the fireplace in the library as he began to think what went wrong with his relationship with the man he love-loved

'I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I saw you
I knew you were mine'

He remembered when they both were teenagers; he was a young boy with wild wavy black hair into a messy ponytail with a weird fashion taste with a happy go lucky personality, who didn't give a crap in the world while he remembered Xehanort, a young boy just like him, with unusual silver hair with bright shining grey eyes with some sense of fashion. Quiet and stoic, but kind and had a sense of humor. He remembered how they met. He couldn't help but crack a small smile at remembering how he had jumped out the window and accidentally landed in Xehanort's arms out of breath and remembered how Xehanort looked confused and couldn't help laughing...
'You said you were mine
I thought you were mine'

He felt a tear slip down his eyes as he take another drink from his glass as he stared at the letters that the man had written to him over the years as he recalled what one of his old friends told him.
" Do you know what Marie said
When I told her what you'd done?
She said
"You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun"

She was right. He never truly cared about anything else but going to the next world to explore. He never wanted to stay in one place for too long. He was much different from the boy he once knew- no. That was wrong. He had always been like that. He hated the islands he once lived at and when he arrived in Scala, scorning its name and how much he hated it. He started to show the same disdain to Scala he had for Destiny Islands.
'Don't
Take another step in my direction
I can't be trusted around you
Don't think you can talk your way
Into my arms, into my arms'

He looked at all the letters, many of them were yellow and edges curling up as he stared at them blankly. He walked to the fireplace, stumbling a bit from the alcohol. He held his hand out and remembered the lessons about fire magic. The color change meant what they were feeling. Red meant normal, yellow meant happiness while purple meant anger...blue meant sadness. He summoned his flames in his hand as the color of the flames was blue and purple.

' I'm burning the letters you wrote me
You can stand over there if you want
I don't know who you are
I have so much to learn'

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly as he reread the eldest letter again, where he described the world he was once on, with so many words and love sentences to him saying how excited he was to see him and their friends again.
'I'm re-reading your letters
And watching them burn (burn)
I'm watching them burn (burn)'

He threw the letter in watching it curl up and then turn to ashes as he threw them one by one, his eyes blankly staring at the burning flames.
'You published the letters she wrote to you
You told the whole world
How you brought this girl into our bed
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives'

He scowled as he knew how paranoid Xehanort could be, and how he tried to stop things from happening that would ruin his name. He would do anything to preserve his name and keep his pride intact.
' Heaven forbid someone whisper
"He's part of some scheme"
Your enemy whispers
So you have to scream
I know about whispers
I see how you look at my sister..''

He once had considered Lilith as a sister, but that all changed when Xehanort cheated on him with her he growled, baring his teeth as he threw the rest of the letters into the fire as he heard footsteps as he turned and stared at the shadow form of Xehanort as he stared at him with hate.

" Don't
I'm not naive
I have seen women around you
Don't think I don't see how they fall for your charms
All your charms
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eraqus reacted...
When you broke his heart
You have thrown it all away
Stand back, watch it burn
Just watch it all burn..."

He glared as he threw the bottle at the man as he told him, thinking of their children they had given life to or adopted.
"And when the time comes
Explain to the children
The pain and embarrassment
You put their mother through
When will you learn
That they are your legacy?
We are your legacy!"

He shouted at the shadow, as the shadow faded away as he cried, falling to his knees as he looked at one thing on his hand as he grabbed his ring and threw it into the fire, melting the ring as he sang quietly.

'If you thought you were mine (mine, mine, mine)
Don't."

In the hallways, passing spirts heard sobbing from a man who had been betrayed by the man he once had loved...never trusting the darkness that Xehanort had claimed that was safe ever again.

( Soo...this is a angsty Valentine's day songfic, since I'm single and wanted to make a angsty fox with my favorite angsty couple XD enjoy!^^)
