Click.

There goes the safety.

A shaky hand grips the metal of a deadly weapon.

Sterling silver - like his hair - pressed to the side of his head.

A long, pale finger on the trigger...

Eyes closed...

Waiting for the pain to end...

"ZERO NO!"

He doesn't want her to see him like that.

Lifeless on the bed.

He lets her pull the gun from his hand and toss it aside.

She's standing in front of him now.

Her thin arms embrace him tightly.

Her hands press his face into her chest.

"What the hell were you thinking, Zero!?"

He feels her tears drip onto his hair.

"You've been through a lot, but don't you ever do that to me!"

She trembled as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm here for you. Remember that!"

He tried his best to hold back the tears.

"I love you! Do you have any idea what I'd do if you died!?"

She was sobbing now.

He still didn't say a word.

"I'd kill myself. I can't live without you!"

The thought of her...

Dead...

For him...

To be with him...

He pulled her closer.

"I love you too, Yuuki."

He didn't want to hurt her any longer.

But...

As she pulled back to gaze at him...

Her small hands framed his face...

She tilted his head up...

And leaned closer...

He could taste salty tears on her lips.

Her fingers dug through his hair.

She was still sobbing as their lips parted.

His arms constricted tighter.

Crushing her against him.

He buried his face in her neck.

And her next words...

"It's okay. I'll hold you now."

He had never cried harder in his life.


Whoa where did this come from
