Pairing: BillyxGrim

"What's gonna happen to us?"

"I dunno, but I'm gonna hold ya tight and never let go!"

And she stood at the stage, smiling, smiling as they cowered against the glare. Both shivered in the wreck, the universe now bathed in white, drizzled with screams.

And still they hugged as the balance tipped and blackness arrived. But a second before: warmth—and passion.

And maybe it took reality falling apart for them to realize, but it didn't matter. Love was love, after all.
