writetomyheart | [team two] the blood oath

Oh my goodness. It's been such a long while. Life happened and my free time got spent consuming content instead of writing it. T_T
I apologize for taking so long and still ending up with a less than ideal number of words. I'm so rusty. orz

So, imagine SixTONES (kyomojuri, specifically) in a Chinese high fantasy drama. That's what I'll fight my brain with to show here. :'D
Starting words from here.

"Your promise isn't only to me, but also to our people." Juri's voice is barely above a whisper, but his words are firm and his resolve absolute. The enemy had tried to take control of Taiga's body before Juri intervened and drew its resentful energy into himself. The malevolent energy ripped through his insides, seeking to destroy what it couldn't control and leaving Juri barely alive. Yet he clings on, fighting to contain the spirit within his own body because the alternative is unimaginable. "You have to—"

"I can't." Taiga cuts him off, preventing Juri from finishing his sentence. "I can't lose you again," he rasps, his heart breaking under the weight of Juri's request.

"Meeting you made my life worthwhile," Juri tells him. "You are the reason I was able to make it this far. Even if I die by your hand, it's all worth it."

Juri crawls over the last few inches to reach Taiga, and using the last bit of his strength, he touches Taiga's cheek. His hand trembles as he gently wipes away the tears streaming down Taiga's face with his thumb. His other hand holds a dagger, which he places in Taiga's grasp. "This is the only way to keep us safe. By killing me, you'll help rid our land of evil."

Taiga's palm closes around the dagger, accepting the inevitable. Tears continue to stream down his face as he holds Juri close.

"I have no regrets," Juri murmurs. "Don't blame yourself."

Taiga thrusts the dagger into Juri's chest.

Thanks for your patience. It's your turn, Captain
