NOTE: THE FOLLOWING STORY CONTAINS HOMOSEXUAL CONTENT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T READ IT.
ALSO CONTAINS SPOILERS.

For years, Jerome was the only one there who would interact with P4. The two formed a bond closer than brothers, yet they soon find themselves separated by life and death. But what will happen when they meet again, in the afterlife? This is the story of two dogs who have faced it all - pain, despair, torture, grief, and even death - finally struggling through the strongest force of all: love.

I will write this story in parts: first part from P4's point of view in this colour, second part Jerome's in this colour etc. This is only a short fanfiction, so don't expect much. I personally am not proud of it at all, but I hope you enjoy it.
Without further ado, I give you the fanfiction itself.





So, Jerome had been right all along. Right about how I’d leave the lab someday. Right about how my pain would come to an end. But had he been completely right? Was it really worth the wait? Should I have put up with the torture for that long?
Of course, in my days as a test animal, I never doubted Jerome’s words. Not once. I felt I had no reason to; his wisdom and kindness were what kept me alive, kept my heart beating.
He was the strength of my life. Yet I nearly killed him. And now, the one thing I wanted was to meet him again, hear his voice dripping with compassion, thank him once more for supporting me.

Impossible. I crossed the bar long ago, my pain finally halted by Jerome and a pack of wild dogs. But my saviour would now be with those same dogs, in Futago Pass, living peacefully. Why would they spare a thought for a freak like me? Kaibutsu, the mutant who’d killed their friends and destroyed their paradise.
But even so, I can’t stop my thought straying to Jerome. Wondering where he is, what he’s doing, whether he thinks of me, too.

God had been on my side that day, the day Weed narrowly scraped death - and lived to tell the tale. Perhaps He forgave me for my sins. Perhaps He heard my prayer. Or perhaps He realised that Weed’s life was more valuable than my own. In any case, I was grateful and could ask for no more.
And so I’d travelled, not to Hell, but to Heaven. Surprising - I hardly deserved it. Even so, I can’t pretend I was not more than a little relieved. Noss, Robert, Rocca, Hoiler, John, Smith and all my other fallen comrades… I would meet them once again.
Then there was P4. Kaibutsu. Would I meet him again? Did I want to meet him again? Honestly… yes, I did. I do. There was so much between us that was unspoken, that needed to be cleared. Yes, P4 and I must see each other again. I will make sure of it.

Something is strange. I am restless, unsettled. Why? I feel a sense of excitement, deep in my chest, as though something is going to happen… something I’ve been waiting for. Could it be…?
Yes, I’m nearly positive now. Jerome has come for me, and I will once again meet him. I can’t stop this happiness from building up inside me. For that’s what I think it is - happiness. I’ve only felt anything like this once before, when Jerome spoke to me at the lab. In Spring, when the cherry blossoms were blooming, and although I couldn’t smell them myself, Jerome described them in such detail that I could almost have been there myself.

it's good and interesting^^ I hope ou will continue

Beautiful! I don't really ship Kaibutsu/Jerome but I like it! They are kind of cute together. I write for Jerome/Weed on Fanfiction.net along with Kyoushiro/Weed. I really love this FF! It expresses their feelings perhaps not in many words but very well.

Thanks guys.
