Disclaimer: I owe nothing. I am just borrowing for fun purpose.
Author's Note: Yeah, another Slariel-fic. But these two just so took over my life and there are not enough Slariel stories out there. This fic is a bit special as I am using prompts for every part. I don't want to say chapters because they will be all very short and just quick snippets out of the life of the guys.
The timeline of the story might be a bit confusing in the beginning but just bear with me. In the end it all should make sense, I hope.
I love reviews but who doesn't. But if you leave me some the chances are higher that I actually finish this story. :-D Enjoy...
You can't fall for angels
Prompt 3: Ends
"We were good together weren't we?" A sad smile crept on his face and he could slowly feel the tears rising in his throat. Yeah, they had been good. But nothing good is forever, right? Slowly he caressed the other man's cheek. He could see the tears shimmering in the blue eyes and he had no idea how he would ever be able to live without the him.
"I love you, Just..." Heath was silenced with a kiss.
"Please. Don't say it. Please." Justin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Don't make it harder as it already is." He could see that the other one wanted to say something but bit his tongue.
"What is it, Heath? Just spit it out. Don't you think it is too late for any more secrets?" The tears in the blue eyes were still shimmering and Heath had to use all his strength not to just burst into tears. He never planned to fall for his best friend. A guy. And Justin out of all people. But he had. He had fallen for him and before he knew it it was more then just a short crush but this all consuming love that had made his life so much better for the last couple of month.
"There has to be something that we can do. This... This can't be the end. It just can't be..." A small sob escaped his throat and he cursed himself for not being able to be stronger.
"Heath." Justin's voice was low and gentle. "You know there is nothing we can do. We just have to do this. I mean it's not like this... " He paused shortly to gain back a bit of strength. "It's not like we would have ever last. This was always just for the spur of the moment." Justin stared straight into Heath eyes and he knew that the red head knew that he was just lying. Heaven, how could he explain to the person who had made him the happiest ever that this had to stop? That they wouldn't be able to ever be together again? How can you explain this to someone you love with your whole heart?
"Please, Heath. Don't look at me like this." This time it was Justin who could feel the tears pressing against the back of his eyes. He tried to wipe them away before they even appeared.
"I... I love you." Heath looked at the smaller frame of his older lover and he could feel his heart break into tiny pieces while Justin still tried to wipe away the tears that haven't even fall.
They didn't say anything anymore. Heath watched Justin grabbing the last few bits that Justin still had in Heath's flat.
They didn't say goodbye. They just kissed one last time. It was a bitter sweet kiss mingled with salty tears. They knew that there was nothing else that they could have done. But it still didn't make it feel better. It still didn't make it feel right.
As the door closed behind Justin, Heath could feel his heart break. He knew that a big part of his life had just left him forever. Of course they would still see each other. They still worked for the same company. But he was not sure if he would be able to handle seeing him when he knew he was not his anymore.
He knew why they had to do what they did. But somehow he was not sure anymore if it really was worth it.
