TITLE: Should Have Kissed Him Back

AUTHOR: Alex

RATING: PG-13

DISTRIBUTION: Gorilla Dust, and Movie-Slash I guess.

DEDICATION: ::shrug::

DISCLAIMER: The movie Orfeu belongs to the people who wrote and directed it. I'm only slashifying it to my slashy little heart's content, and for no other reason. Meaning, I'm not getting paid.

SUMMARY: Lucinho's final thoughts, before his death.

PAIRING: Orfeu/Lucinho

NOTES: This strange little ficlet grew out of the Lucinho/Orfeu kiss in the movie Orfeu, a Brazilian take on the Orpheus legend. I am certain that deep down inside Lucinho, a little slasher was screaming to get out.

******

As the bullet tore through me, and I collapsed onto my knees, I realized I had committed an egregious, unforgivable error.

Not that I had killed so many people, not that I had betrayed my friends, not that I had killed Euridice.

I hadn't kissed him back.

He stared at me, his dark eyes betraying no warmth, no hint of the boyhood friend he'd once been.

He dropped the gun.

I could feel the wetness on my cheeks, and the pain in my heart - the pain in my heart was a thousand times worse than the pain wreaked by the single bullet.

As things around me grew hazy, and I could feel my body shuddering and my lungs filling with blood, one final thought flashed in my mind - imprinting itself in my consciousness.

Should have kissed him back.

I should have kissed him back.

- - -

the end.
