"...And as the light fades from my eyes, I smile but don't know why..."
The rain seems to melt your skin as you make your painful voyage toward your lover's dying body. The tears that were once caged inside you are flowing freely down your cheeks, falling onto the red-stained dirt. You stagger the last few steps, seeing the image of your almost gone love become clearer with each step.
"Zack." You whisper softly and collapse onto your knees. A sharp rock hits your skin roughly, breaking it and allowing your own blood to mix with the rest. A shaking hand reaches to his scratched face and you caress it softly, afraid that any pressure will surely make him break. You choke on your sobs as he tried to speak.
"(insert name here)". You sob as you lean closer to him, allowing your salty tears to fall onto his chest. He watches you with his mako-infused eyes, no pain evident in them. Only the sorrow of losing you.
"Y-you can't die. There is still so much you promised we could do. You said we would live t-this happy life." You can't go on any longer because you know you will break if you speak of your would-be future any longer.
A weak smile forms across his lips and a shaking hand reaches to pull your head toward his. Raising his head up slowly, his lips touch yours softly. You close your eyes, content that you can ignore this if only for a little while. You bring both of your hands to support his head, kissing him with all the passion you can muster. All the emotions you want to express are let out in this kiss, showing him how you feel without words.
He smiles once again when you both pull back for air and you help him slowly lay back down. A grunt of pain fills your ears as he struggles for his life and your heart feels like it breaks in two at that very moment.
"I love you (insert name here)." Zack whispers softly before his eyes close slowly, leaving his body to relax in a way you haven't seen since you have arrived at this god forsaken place. The tears rush faster and you sob loudly as you lean your head lightly on his chest.
"Don't leave me! I love you!" But he is already gone and you choke on your words once more. Your hand runs through his dark, blood-stained hair and you shiver as the rain slowly gets to you.
Your eyes reach the gray clouds feeling as if they too were expressing their sorrow for your loved one. You want to be up there. To be with him.
All your sobs re-echo in your mind, blocking out the noise that is coming closer to you. All you hear is metal hitting metal before a shot is heard.
You smile as your eyes close but you have no idea why. Did you want to die? Probably. Considering there was no life for you other than the one you had with him.
