The last time
Roderich had to stop thinking like this, asking himself every little moment, "Is this the last time I'll ever see this room? Is this the last time I'll ever wake to this sunrise? Is this the last time I'll ever hold this beautiful man in my arms? Is this the last time I'll ever kiss him?" He couldn't keep going on like this.
"Ruy?" a quiet voice asks as he stands at the window, a tan hand falling on the Austrian's shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"
He shakes his head, eyes closing as he turns away; he had to say goodbye to this view of the Spanish countryside too now. "It is not in my nature to speak of such things."
"Well it is in mine," Antonio murmurs, stroking his cheek before kissing his forehead. "Come, I will accompany you to the border; we can say goodbye there."
Looking into beautiful green eyes Roderich feels a twinge of guilt. How could he part with someone who loves him so much? Was this the last time he'd ever see Antonio again?
Stepping from his carriage in Vienna a woman rushes down the stairs to meet him, her hair wild and green eyes wide. "Roderich," she breathes, relieved, but the Austrian doesn't have the strength left to speak. Instead he wraps Erzsébet up in his arms and holds her, like he wishes he could still hold Antonio.
