Hi guys!
Just a small backstory, an explosion has just rocked Mobius City, Shadow holding the trigger. He is about to walk away from this, when he sees a silhouette through the mist caused by the explosion.
The lyrics (in italics) are from "I Feed You My Love" by Margaret Berger. Any Europeans reading this may get a sense of familiarity; this was the Norway entry in the Eurovision. This song inspired this one-shot.

As the ash falls around us, his blood red eyes highlight the darkness in which I live.
"A cocoon in a silent tree
Through the dark night you listen to me
When I whisper broken words in your ear…"
I stride towards him, his smirk a twin to mine. I reach him after what seems like a century. He is surrounded by a crimson fire, to match his fur. He is as beautiful as an angel, but as deadly as an angered viper.
"And you push; you push me hard to the surface
I'm blinded at heart but you wake me
You wake me up from the snow where I was born…"
I extend my hand to caress him…
"Now I can see
The whole world is mine
I can touch and feel
I feed you my love."
His skin burns my hand with a burning as intense as him. His hollow chuckle echoes through my head, sending shockwaves through my spine.
"You put a knife against my back
And you dare me to face the attack
You say, "For cowards there's no reward"
Feel the heat."
I strike him, my nails raking his face. He grunts in pain, it was unexpected. He should know why I'm angry. The city is in ruins; my friends are probably dead or on the verge of death itself. He always said he wanted revenge. I extend my hand once more…
"Take my hand, I trust your word
Bring the fire; I don't care if it hurts
I have the future on my tongue
Give me a kiss."
…help him up, and kiss him with as much strength as I can gather.
"Now I can see,
The whole world is mine,
I can touch and feel
So I feed you my love…"
I don't need anyone, as long as I have him.
"You put a knife against my back
And you dare me to face the attack
You say, "For cowards there's no reward"
I have the future on my tongue."
The ash and debris from the explosion fall like petals around us, a twisted storm of both guilt and euphoria. I have no choice now, I can't look back. I break the kiss reluctantly, and take his hand.
"Now I can see
The whole world is mine
I can touch and feel
So I feed you my love."
We walk through the mist, abandoning memories and safety for a small shred of hope, that maybe, just maybe, we can feel alive.
Just for once.
