In which we fall...byTaes

"Believe in me," he bids, his arms outstretched.

The other reaches out; his pale hands have gone purple and gray from lack of movement. His eyes, a brilliant blue to rival the skies, are swathed in shadows too deep. They are too far stretched to be cast by the arching shadows of wings—his wings.

"I trust you," the blond murmurs, and even his lips seem deadened. The words come out too slow. He steps up.

One foot on the railing, darkened arms reaching for the beautiful creature hovering before him.

"You should," the other whispers. His dark hair falls over eyes of pitch. And he treads backwards in the air, lengthening the distance between them. "Come."

Blue eyes close.

And he steps upward,

over the guard,

and into the air.

He falls.

And blue eyes

open.
