Snow fell all around him…it was on him…under him...enveloping him as it continued to fall slowly from the Heavens…
He stared up at the bland sky, his brilliant bright blue eyes glinting in the quickly diminishing sun…
He had a half smile on his face, as if he was in a moment of pure bliss…as if he was innocent again, and in a way he was innocent…
He blinked once, twice, three times… the cute little smile never fading, but his bright brilliant blues seemed to fade with the sun…
His lashes were covered in snow, and he seemed to smile a little more… he wanted to laugh but he couldn't… he looked like he was lying in the snow just stare at passing clouds in the sky, a bird…a plane, a bunny… if only…
She ran to him in the snow, she screamed his name…
Love and anguish thick in her voice, unmistakable…
Her brown doe eyes were wide, so wide…
Why were they so wide?
She ran as if demons were chasing her, and maybe they were…
She ran to him, lying in the snow so innocently…
His eyes felt heavier with every passing second, maybe the snow piling up on his lashes were weighing them down…
He smiled at the notion…
She ran to his side, she helped him into a sitting position in her lap…
She cradled his head as if he was her newborn and she was his mother…
She allowed the tears to flow freely down her face; they slipped off her red cheeks and gently ploppedonto his brown fuzzy hair…
He continued to look up with the dazed smile on his face, his bright blue eyes still fading, the sun too…
She held him tighter and rocked him back and forth…
Whispering his name over and over again, her mantra...
She stroked his head; it was wet and fuzzy to her slender fingers…
She ran her hands through his hair, he wanted to laugh, wanted to touchher…
He coughed and turned away…
She sobbed, and he turned to her again…
I'm here partner, don't worry, I'm here…
He silently told her this; blood speckled his face, his cheeks, his forehead…
She pushed hard onto his chest, it hurt him…
He struggled lightly, why?
Why was she pushing his chest?
He looked down in confusion and let the smile slip off his handsome face…
There was a hole in his chest, blood seeping from a hole in his chest…
He wanted to yell, cry, but he could only muster up a whimper…
I'm here partner, don't worry, I'm here…
She silently told him, a phony smile on her face as she held both her blood stained hands against his chest.
He looked into her eyes; God wouldn't even understand the love in their eyes
Theirpassion and lust…understanding…
He reached up with a shaky hand and brushed her tear stained cheek ever so gently…
It was like a whisper on her cheek…
She felt a sob rack her body as his hand fell to his side…
He took one last breath…
One last blink…
And the light faded from the sky….the light faded from his blue eyes…
The snow finally outweighed his lashes as they slowly closed…
She held him tightly and let out one last mournful howl of ache…
For her,
For lust,
Passion,
Understanding,
For Elliot Stabler.
"ELLIOT!!!"
