"You're going to fight me on this, aren't you?"
"With my dying breath, if necessary."
"Why?"
"Because I'll destroy you if I don't. I'll suffocate you."
"Silly girl, you can't suffocate the wind."
"If I let myself, Jed, I'll never let you go. I'll be jealous and possessive, and you, you'll end up hating me. I can't do that to myself, not again. I'm just a selfish child with no redeeming qualities."
"Firebird, I wouldn't have you any other way. I'm not a possessive man, I probably won't give you the signs of affection you deserve. I'll mock you at every chance, and if you leave, I'll let you go. Because I know that you'll always come back to me, and I'll wait, forever if necessary."
"Arrogant ass."
"Everyone knows fire needs air." She opened her mouth, but he pushed his finger to her lips, "What they don't know is that air needs fire just as much."
A single tear rand down her cheek, and his hand wiped away, cupping her face, he pulled her close and kissed her eyelids. When he pulled back, there was a small smile on her lips. And he laughed a small laugh before wrapping his arms around her and tucking her head under his chin.
And they stood together for a long, long time.
