I hope you like this. It's really just a short tidbit I thought up. Please Review. I'd love your opinion. Thank you for reading. :)
Red lines crisscross skin, turning white as more time passes. Liquid relief falls from its home with each new line. Drops puddle on the ground or the table or just sticking to the blade. The blade is sharp. It cuts lines with the accuracy of a trained fighter, someone who knows how to wield a blade. This is what they want. They want relief, pleasure, escape from the pain of the world. They cut each other with the sharp razors. It is like a mirror image. Two bodies with identical scars painstakingly precise. They cut each other with eyes that show relief. This is what they want. This is what makes them feel good. This is freedom.
Their fathers would not approve. Society wouldn't approve but why should they care. They are preforming the only task that nubs their minds and for one second they don't think. It's a wonderful feeling for those whose minds run fast, whose intellect allows them to view everything.
Two lovers sit with their blooded bodies in an embrace. The wounds would heal soon. They always healed faster. It was time to go now, time to return to the world they try to escape from. Enemies at war but lovers at heart, sharing the pleasure of peace from a blade.
Shirts are returned to bodies and kisses are exchanged. The light is coming to an end. Darkness shall fall soon, not in the sky but in their hearts. They wish sometimes this could last forever but it can't. The world calls for them in ways they wish not to respond.
"Goodbye" Chase whispered, giving his lover one last hug.
"Goodbye" the second boy repeated. The pulled away to press their foreheads together. "I don't want to go back" Marcus whispered. "I don't want this anymore. I want you. I want love."
"We have obligations" Chase whispered the hollow words. They lost all meaning after being repeated so many times. It was no longer a sentence but a mantra, their mantra I love you but we have obligations. I don't want to fight you but we have obligations. I don't want to pretend to hate you but we have obligations. Was it truly worth it? In the end were the wants of others truly more important than their own?
They had been raised to think yes. One had been raised to obey every order, to act without question. He was raised to be a tool. The other was raised to be a protector, a warrior, a hero. He must save those in danger. He must put his life on the line because it is what he was born to do. He was born to be a pawn, not a pawn in the sense of unimportance and manipulation but a pawn as in a piece to be moved about the board, acting upon the wills of the king and his council. They were both trained to be weapons whether their fathers thought it or not.
Chase looked at his lover, both pairs of eyes so filled with sadness. "I don't want to go back" Chase agreed.
"Freedom" Marcus whispered. Chase tilted his head slightly in agreement.
"No more fighting" Chase whispered.
"No more feud" Marcus whispered back.
"No more hate."
"No more hurt."
"No more fathers."
"No more obligations" Marcus finished.
They didn't think about the lines on their skin. They didn't realize that this might be the last time a blade pierced their flesh. They were at a crossroads. If they chose to return, to live the lives set for them then happiness would never come. But if they chose to flee, leave behind the hate, sorrow, and anger no blade would be needed again. Peace would no longer have to come from the slicing of skin. It would come from love and life. This moment would decide it all. They knew it and they needed to make the right choice.
"Never go back" Marcus said, more confident than he'd been for years. More sure than he's ever been. Today they lived for those men. Tomorrow they live for themselves.
"Never go back" Chase agreed.
