It was snowing, in fact, but neither of them noticed. Precipitation is but a folly complication for those on their way to death.

Sorry. I just got in a weird mood. Rated T for sad feels.

It was cold.

Snowing, in fact, but neither of them felt it. Precipitation is but a folly complication for those on their way to death. Blue eyes slid up to sinister yellow, and a smile was shared. A pointed one that said, I tried. A bucktoothed grin that replied, I know.

So they joined hands and trudged across the rainbow-stained chessboard, stepping over the remains of friends long gone. It was appropriate that these two had survived; they were both leaders, respectively. But even leaders have to die.

In time, they reached the edge. It was without regret or trepidation that they stepped off of it. They embraced in their final moments of falling, and the embrace was void of tears. Wherever they were headed was surely better than here.
