AN: Just imagine this as a crackish Fairy Tale AU. Also, yes, I know Blake is based on both the beauty and the beast of the fairy tale while Adam is based on the beast, Gaston, and the rose (according to the wiki), but for this chapter, it's a lot more simplistic.
"Blake..." Adam's voice was airy... quiet... desperate... as he clutched onto his injured side.
His love is here.
A soft smile appeared on his face, seeing Blake run towards him with urgency... then she passed right by him and into the castle.
"What?"
"Ruby!"
"WHAT?!"
Adam limped all the way to his destroyed room to see Blake crying over his cursed rose.
"Ruby... no." Blake threw the glass case aside, tears in her eyes.
"Blake..." The wilting rose slowly lifted her bud, though that did nothing to stop the petals from falling.
"...Did you fall in love with the cursed rose instead of me?!" Adam shouted in disbelief.
"Look, the beast in the story is a great guy, but not you, Adam." Blake firmly said.
"Well, we're both going to die now, and you'll get neither of us. So, there!"
"Look, I love Ruby, and Ruby loves me. We know how this will go."
"Are you fu-!"
Blake kissed Ruby's rose head, and everything turned into a bright white light.
Once the light faded away, sitting on the table was a girl with black-red hair, silver eyes, and a red rose decorated dress.
"Ruby!" Blake shouted for joy as she lifted the rose girl up into the air, spinning her around.
Ruby let out a happy squeal until she noticed Adam was dead on the ground.
"...At least we got a repaired castle in the end." Ruby nervously grinned.
