Talk:Tam Song/@comment-96.42.216.28-20190831234401

Headcanon where Tam is so tired of everything. Tired of the training, the Neverseen, tired of being strong. He misses Linh and all his friends. So one day he risks everything to see her. Partially to make sure she's okay, but mostly because he needs someone.

Apologies in advance because it's really fast-moving and terrible. (Also, I sort of based it off The Fever Code from the Maze Runner, the scene with Newt and his sister.)

At first Linh was terrified as she stared at the figure in the Neverseen cloak in front of her. Then she was shocked. It was her twin. A face she hadn't seen so long except only in her dreams.

Tam.

And then she realized he was crying. And he never cried.

Then they were hugging. His sobs were muffled when he buried his face into her shoulder (which she realized must be difficult for him; was she taller than him now?), and her hand instinctively came up to rub his back comfortingly. She hugged him back fiercely, not wanting to let go, and spoke.

"Tam. What are you doing here? T-the Neverseen-"

"I don't care, Linh. I hate them. I hate them! I hate every single one of them! I hate how they separated us, how manipulative they are, how they laugh at terrible things, how they set fire to Forbidden Cities and don't care about how many lives they're destroying. I-I miss life back in Exillium. It was all so simple..."

They both faded into silence. Linh wondered what Tam had gone through to be at this point, and how long it would be lasting. After all, it usually wasn't her who comforted him.

After a while, Tam turned to go. But Linh needed to tell him something. "Tam-wait."

He stopped but didn't turn back around.

"Tam, I love you. I love you so much."

He looked back, and Linh caught the smallest glimpse of a small. "I love you too, Linh."
