AN: This story is for my husband Nikolaas. I love you. Please don't make an end to your life.
Lars arrived home from work. His boss Mark Rutte had given him another rant about how he needed to have more VOC mentality. He was happy to be home. To be home with his husband Laurens.
They were happy together, although their marriage had been tested more then once. Laurens was depressed and could suddenly fall into a depressed mood at any given moment. But Lars always gave his husband all his love and attention when that happened. Even if it was at 3 O'clock in the morning.
Normally Laurens would be running to him when he opened the door to give him a hug, but today it was eerily quiet. "Hello? Laurens. Are you home?" Lars said. He then saw a note on the kitchen table. He picked it up and read it.
{dear Lars,
I love you, but I have to leave you. My life is too sad. I'm too lonely. When you read this I'll be gone from this world. My body will only be here floating in the canal. I love you and I'll see you on the other side. Take care of our country for me.
Until we meet again,
Your love. Laurens}
A tear rolled down Lars' cheek. 'Canal. CANAL! HE IS AT THE BRIDGE!' He thought and ran out of the door. He didn't even care to lock it. He ran through the streets trying to find his one and true love. Tears were streaming down his face. 'If I loose him I'll end it too' ran through his mind. Then he saw Laurens. He sat on the rail and looked down at the water. If he threw himself into that water he would be most certainly be impaled by a rusty bike or something else that was down there. "LAURENS" Lars yelled running towards his husband, "Laurens don't do it. I love you. I could never live without you." He grabbed Laurens and pulled him into his arms. He hugged the 2p. Laurens felt the loving arms of his husband (that he jokingly called his wife) and started crying. "I love you so much. Please don't ever do that again" Lars said through his tears. Laurens tried to answer, but couldn't. He was crying to much to even think of words.
And so the crying couple went home. Lars walked back with his husband in his arms. 'I'm not going to lose him. I'll be there for him. I'll work from home if I need to. I love him' Lars thought. "Ik hou van jou. Mijn lief er is geen een van wie ik zo hou als ik van jou hou. Jij en ik, wij zijn samen één. Tot de dood ons scheidt." He said to Laurens that night,"Please, don't kill yourself. I love you too much".
AN: I wrote this while listening to lullaby from Nickelback.
"Ik hou van jou. Mijn lief er is geen een van wie ik zo hou als ik van jou hou. Jij en ik, wij zijn samen één. Tot de dood ons scheidt." = "I love you. My dear there is no one I love more than that I love you. You and I, we are one together. Until death do us part."
