030 – Happy Ending
It was never truly there.
She stands outside the door, with the car and their things, and she's waiting for him to walk out to her and drive off to a house and home, under a clear blue sky, with kids, a little dog, a freshly mowed lawn, small, red and yellow mailbox, home-baked, fresh bread, the smell of it wafting sweet and three little words ending in 'ever after'.
'I have to go.' hangs above them like a gallows' blade.
Silver looks at his face into his gaze, but not quite.
His eyes like shattered glass.
His eyes like hallowed amber.
All those words between them, the passion and the rage. Sorrow. Tears. All worn and well used, enough that he is tired of them. Exchanged blows.
He smiles, sadly.
Because blond is beautiful, and silver is a goddamned liar.
He'll just have to wake up and hope that one day, it just won't hurt.
This is goodbye.
Blonde eyes watch silver watch blonde, realizing there is white around the edges, oh, and if only he'd thought to look. Silver eyes watch blonde watch silver, lament and regret and one hand extended not sooner.
Silver has eyes of the deepest star-skimmed river.
Pay the price.
"I wish it could have been you."
Blonde nods slowly, and after all this time it has never really truly bit in until this moment.
Silver turns, leaves. Arrives at the door. Blonde watches his back, the wooden cottage around him washing out in the bright morning sunlight but somehow the glow through the door could blind one to tears, but he keeps watching.
One foot steps outside.
They always played with shooting stars.
END.
