He couldn’t walk much now, the metal that made up the bones in his legs twisted and brittle. No matter how much Imperial Jade nagged at him to fix them, he never got around to doing so. He never minded, it gave him a lot of time to think.
Time had worn heavily on him, but then it had done the same to Titanium. Her skin hadn’t been as tough as it was now when she was younger. Her eyes had both been brown, not mismatched. Her hair had always been long, he remembered it going past her shoulders, but it had never gone down to her waist.
She was still the same in terms of personality though, still straightforward with a hidden talent for manipulation, still confident, still caring.
He’d known her for years, back before he’d learned to change people’s bodies slowly into gemstones and metals, before she gained the scars, before she’d learned about her healing ability. Before a lot of things, he had known her.
People had always talked about them, about how it was clear he had a crush on her. He had never, she was his best friend. Besides, it had probably been the best secret they had ever kept that she had always been more interested in girls and even then, she’d never really cared.
He smiled at her, she rolled her eyes at him with a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
And so they continued with life.
