#sdvalex #sdvleo #stardewvalley #decembalex25

Digital artwork of Alex from Stardew Valley and my original character Mallory. They are both children, sitting in a tent and looking up at the stars together. Alex is sobbing and hugging Mal tightly, while Mal holds him and smiles sadly up at the sky. A single tear builds at the corner of his eye.

“I can’t believe tomorrow I’m gonna lose you forever,” Alex hiccupped, squeezing his eyes shut although he had long since run out of tears. “Not forever,” Mallory corrected. His voice was soft and soothing as it always was, and hearing him speak now, Alex already knew he would miss his voice dearly. Talking when they should have been sleeping, listening to him read so effortlessly the same books that frustrated Alex to tears, laughing as they played and roughhoused together. Mallory’s voice was a comfort to him in any and every context, his friend that served as a lifeline now that his mom was gone. Wasn’t it enough losing her? Why did he have to lose him too? The silence hung over them for a long minute and Alex felt like that was forever, and that he wouldn’t survive the eternity of the forever that would come tomorrow. “I told you earlier,” Mallory began, his voice wavering slightly. “I’ll write to you all the time. And when we’re grown ups, we’ll see each other again.”

Wasn’t it enough losing her? Why did he have to lose him too?
