"I didn't know what you were going through
I thought that you were fine
Why did you have to hide?" Ben announced moving to stand behind Carlos entering the boy's former apartment. Carlos sighed as he glanced towards Ben, the King looked so upset and hurt. Carlos knew he shouldn't have just ran back to the Isle but he couldn't stay any longer. Audron wasn't for him, he couldn't be the proper prince for Ben or the people.
"I didn't want to let you down
But the truth is out
It's tearing me apart, not listening to my heart."Carlos whispered as he moved closer to Ben but the King wouldn't look at him. He couldn't blame Ben, Carlos ran away like a coward and he didn't even give a true reason for it.
"I really had to go." Carlos whispered as he pulled Ben against his chest. He glanced towards the sky, he couldn't bear to look at Ben at the moment.
"And I would never stop you." Ben whispered forcing Carlos to look at him as he wrapped his arms around Carlos holding him close. Carlos knew he meant it. Ben would give up his happiness in a heartbeat to make sure Carlos had his own.
"Even though it changed." Carlos whispered.
"Nothing has to change." Ben promised.
"And you can find me in the space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the space between." Ben announced catching Carlos off guard before he quickly joined. Ben smiled pulling Carlos away to close him closer as they slow danced around.
"And nothing can stay the same
It's growing pains." Carlos stated laughing at Ben's attempt to twirl him.
"Be proud of all the scars
They make you who you are (oh, woah)." Ben chuckled pressing a quick kiss to Carlos's forehead. Glancing down at the younger boy, Ben knew how baldy he loved Carlos.
"I know you have to stay." Ben whispered pulling Carlos back against his chest until you couldn't tell where on started and the other ended.
"But I'll never really leave you." Carlos muttered against his fiancé's chest. He didn't want to but he had to. He needed to be himself again, and sadly he couldn't do that in Audron.
"Nothing has to change." Ben promised.
"Even though it changed." Carlos added.
"And you can find me in the space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the space between." The couple whispered as they danced around the apartment slowly. Carlos giggled despite the tears running down his face. Ben didn't speak as he softly wiped them away. They just lived in the moment.
"There are no words left to say." Carlos whispered leaning back for his dip.
"I know you gotta find your place." Ben muttered dipping his fiancé down before pulling back. Ben ignored the pain traveling through his heart as he stared at the beautiful boy in front of him. He didn't want to leave Carlos but he knew he had to.
"But this is not the end (no)
You're part of who I am." Carlos vowed.
"Even if we're worlds apart
You're still in my heart
It will always be you and me, yeah." Carlos stated staring at Ben who joined in.
"You can find me in the space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach (I'll never be out of reach)
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the space between." They whispered together noting that their dance was coming to the end. Ben knew he couldn't make Carlos could back unless he wanted to. Carlos knew he couldn't make Ben stay despite the other's willingness.
They both wanted to be selfish but they couldn't.
They needed this time apart for the better.
"Yeah, no matter where you go." Ben promised.
"No matter where you go." Carlos added.
"We can meet in the space between." Carlos and Ben vowed. They stopped to stare at each other before joining in a sweet kiss. "We can meet in the space between." Pulling apart Carlos back away watching as Ben stared at him for a moment before turning away.
"Carlos?"
"Yeah?"
"Space between." Ben vowed for the last time. Carlos chuckled as he covered his mouth as tears started to pour down his cheeks and burn his eyes, "Where two world come to meet."
