The Talk
#3 of Legendary Relations
Summary: After the death of Rayquaza he returns for one last talk with Heatran, a certain question is asked that puts him on edge.
Something that I came up with a long time ago but never posted. Haven't seen Heatran Rayquaza before so as far as I know I'm the first to publish. (If someone has seen it please direct me to it, I would love to see it.) This is one of the only types of death I'll write, I would rather not go into explicit details of what a charqcter goes through.
Rayquaza floated with arms crossed, staring into his eyes.
Heatran said nothing and stared back at him.
"..."
Rayquaza awaited a reply to his question.
"I'm waiting..."
Heatran lowered his jaw about to speak yet remained silent and looked down.
"..."
Rayquaza grimaced at his action and wouldn't accept it.
"Heatran look at me."
Heatran's made their way back to his face.
"Are you Heatran?"
Heatran stared blankly at him not wanting to answer.
"Heatran..."
There was a bit of fear in Heatran's eyes.
"Would you be mad if I am?"
Rayquaza smirked.
"Depends."
Heatran frowned at his reply.
"I don't like that answer."
Rayquaza stared at Heatran for a moment before his eyes drifted to the side.
"Sometimes that's the way things go..."
Heatran looked down again.
"I guess..."
Rayquaza returned to the topic at hand.
"You still never told me."
Heatran desperately spewed out an answer.
"I don't know..."
Rayquaza pleaded with him knowing it was close.
"Talk to me... Please."
Heatran looked up into his eyes.
"I don't think you'd understand Ray..."
Rayquaza sighed out.
"You know that I'm not going to be here much longer..."
Tears welled up in Heatran's eyes.
'Why'd he have to bring that up?'
Rayquaza sensed his reaction.
"I'm sorry Heatran..."
The dragon pulled him into a hug.
"I know this must be hard for you."
Heatran embraced the hug and sobbed.
"It's okay..."
Heatran tried fighting back the tears.
"You know that's not good for you..."
"I know but..."
"But what?"
Heatran looked up at him.
"Why?"
Rayquaza looked down and turned his head off towards the side.
"It's complicated..."
"Can you tell me why?"
Rayquaza pulled him closer.
"I never meant for it to happen this way..."
"Please tell me Ray..."
The green dragon's pupils landed on him.
"On one condition."
A questioning look came over Heatran's face.
"What's that?"
Rayquaza slowly turned his face to meet Heatran.
"You tell me afterwards."
Heatran looked away with a slight blush.
"Deal?"
Rayquaza smiled at him.
Heatran looked back at him and noticed the sincerity in his smile.
'His smile... That's what I miss most about him...' "Deal."
"I knew you'd agree."
Rayquaza nuzzled Heatran's forehead.
"And... I know..."
Heatran blushed and whimpered lowly.
"I decided to go for a night time fly to clear my mind. I flew into a tunnel..."
Rayquaza smirked slightly.
"Usually I'd chicken out trains."
Rayquaza's smirk faded and grew into a frown.
"But this time... The lights weren't shining and I didn't hear a sound... At the last second, I saw the single light and hear the horn... but I was too late."
Heatran stared at him in awe and was speechless at first.
"..."
Rayquaza remained silent as well.
"..."
"I- I'm so sorry."
Heatran hugged him this time.
"It's not your fault..."
Rayquaza hugged him back as tears ran down his face while he grinned.
"I-"
Before Heatran could speak another word Rayquaza began glittering.
Heatran's eyes widened in disbelief.
"No, not yet! You can't go back yet!"
"Yveltal's waiting for me... We have to make this quick..."
Heatran could feel his heart breaking.
"I don't want you to go..."
"I know... I don't want to go either... but I'll have too..."
Tears welled up in Heatran's eyes again as he stamped his foot in anger.
"It's not fair!"
With a claw, Rayquaza lifted Heatran's head to look at his.
"All things happen for a reason Heatran..."
Heatran seemed to collapse in defeat.
"I know..."
Rayquaza's body began to fade, from the tail upwards.
"My times running out Heatran..."
Tears streamed down Heatran's face.
"Please..."
Rayquaza's tail completely faded away.
"No..."
One third of Rayquaza's body fades away.
"I'm still waiting..."
"I- Ray..."
Two thirds of Rayquaza's body fades away.
"Yes?"
"Ray... I... I-"
Rayquaza's arms fade.
"Not a lot of time left..."
Heatran finally gave in.
"I am! I have been for a while... I just didn't know how to tell you..."
Rayquaza smiled.
"That's all I wanted to hear..."
The dragon pressed his maw to Heatran's in a passionate kiss, and held position until he completely faded away.
Left alone, Heatran heaved and fell to his knees balling.
"Bye Ray..."
