DESOLATION prompted by sagesstromashes
Life never turns out how you expect it to.
It's like there's two versions of your future: how you want it to go and how you know it will go.
I always hoped we'd end up together somehow, you know?
I always secretly thought that one day we'd be brave enough to admit what had been there the whole time. And then we'd tell the team and Bruce and they'd all accept us. We'd fight, like any couple, but somehow we'd stick it out. We'd be on love. We'd last forever.
I knew that wouldn't happen. I knew that a was too scared and he was too stubborn and him and Artemis were far too…together (because it still stung,just a little, to say they were in love). And there was always a chance they wouldn't accept us-ME for how I am.
I never expected it would be like this. I never expected to lose him so suddenly. To have him ripped away from me just like that. The thing is, in every version of the future he was never not in it.
He was always meant to be part of my life. Even in the fail safe simulation we died together. As brothers.
Now he's gone.
And the future's gone with him.
