"Please, don't leave me…" she whispered into his jacket, the familiar scent washing over her. She burned all over, and wondered just how it was that her sister was able to endure this so many times at such a young age.

Fate was a bitch.

"I love you." He murmurs in response. He doesn't want to leave her, it's the last thing in the world he wants. But the world was not a kind place, and he didn't want her to suffer from that cruelty as he had. He couldn't be saved, and he knew.

But at least he could save her.

"I'll take the punishment for you." He closes the distance between them.

And as she is extinguished, he erupts into flames.

Burns away into nothing.

And yet…he's happy.

The last thing he sees are her eyes.
