Boo! I haven't done any KaiTala in AGES, so I came up with this little ficlet...and it really IS little...anyway, here it is:
Kai backed up against the wall, feeling the cold metal through his shirt. Tala stood beside him, almost paralyzed with fear. His hand stretched out and grabbed Kai's, squeezing too tight in his panic. "I never thought I'd go like this..." He gasped, staring down the barrel of one of the many guns surrounding them. "I never thought it'd end like this..."
"Tala...if this is the end...there's no-one I'd rather have with me...I...love you." Panted Kai. They were both out of breath, having tried to outrun Boris' henchmen through miles and miles of corridors, only to find themselves in a dead end.
"I love you too." Tala moved quickly, hands grasping Kai's shoulders and pulling him round to face him. He kissed him, then pulled away. "If this is the end..." Still grasping at hope, even as the gun catches clicked around them...
"This -is- the end, Tala." Kai's arms found Tala's waist and clamped around it. "This is the end...I love you..." Another quick kiss, and a smile. Tala gazed deep into Kai's eyes, only wishing that there could have been more time...more time...but at least he knew the truth. He panicked again, wanting to make sure Kai knew how he felt before it happened.
"I love-" They were barely aware of the sound of guns firing, then...
There was no more.
