A/N: Well, I'm not entirely sure where this came from. Probably from me reading so many twincests lately... Well, give it a shot anyway, it turned out pretty good in my opinion...
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
As I cry, you take me into your arms, and I feel safe.
"Shh…" you tell me. "Everything will be all right."
My tears top flowing and I look into your face. Your expression is peaceful, more peaceful then I've ever seen it before.
"How can you know that?" I ask desperately. "How can everything be all right again?"
You smile serenely and gently brush the last of my tears from my face. "Because, my dearest brother, in the end, everything always turns out all right."
I lean into your hand reveling in the feel of it against my cheek.
"Is it beautiful where you are?"
You grin and say, "I don't know. Is it?"
I slap you playfully, laughing for the first time in weeks. "You know what I mean. Wherever it is you stay these days."
You frown slightly now. "Of course it's beautiful, but it's really not the same without you there."
Tears form in my eyes again. "Then I should come be with you. Right now." I stand up and walk to the dresser, but you stop me by grabbing my arm.
"No. I couldn't bear you leaving Mum and Dad. They need you more than I do."
"But I need you," I whine, trying futilely to break free of your grasp.
"I said no. You need to stay here. There's so much more you can be and do."
The tears resume their falling as I look into your face, hard with resolution. "But George…"
"Don't you 'but George' me. You'll start whining and pleading and I won't be able to stop myself from letting you come with me.
"But you can't come with me. At least not now. Someday soon perhaps, but not today. Stay here for a while, Fred, and when you are finally done here, then you can come stay with me forever."
You tenderly brush the tears from my face again. "Please… If I can't come with you, please stay with me."
With a sad smile, you remove your hand from my face. "I'm sorry, Fred," you whisper as you start to back away. "I've already been here too long. I have to leave now."
You turn your gaze to the heavens and begin to fade away.
"Wait!" I yell desperately. You look at me, merely a ghost now. "Could I have… one last… kiss?" My words are almost lost in the sobs escaping my throat now.
You smile and I'm surprised to see an ephemeral tear slide down your cheek. You step forward and lean towards me. I close my eyes and feel your ghostly lips touch mine for an instant. I open my eyes and you are gone, only a memory for those who loved you.
And now I will wait, crying myself to sleep every night. I will wait for the day that my time here is done. The day when I can come stay with you. The day when I'll lie in your arms again and my soul will be whole once more.
A/N: Well, you like? Review!
