Jude wakes a couple hours later Alvin still fast asleep. He strokes Alvin's cheek giving him a soft kiss on his forehead before getting up out of bed redressing. It doesn't take long for Alvin to sprawl out over the whole bed a smile on his face. Jude can't help but smile admiring how handsome he is even in his sleep.
Alvin resting peacefully dreaming of when the mission is complete, his time with Jude, them enjoying being together, but then all of a sudden the sky goes dark monsters appear everywhere around them both of them having their weapons appear out of thin air. They begin fighting enemies but they just wont stop coming, eventually they end up separated without noticing. Alvin defeats all of the enemies that threatened him and notices Jude isn't around, he panics.
"Jude! Jude where are you?!" He runs around like a chicken with its head cut off searching until he finds a small group of enemies surrounding something. Running up to the horde he manages to fight them all off. What he finds in the middle is worse than he could've ever imagined. Jude layed on the ground, beaten, bruised, bleeding all over the ground. Alvin stands there frozen, how did he let them get separated?! How did he let this happen?!
Alvin shaking drops to the ground beside Jude picking him up in his arms.
"Jude...? Jude please answer me please...I can't lose you.." Tears welling up in Alvin's eyes. "Jude?! Jude please!"
Jude coughing and hacking, blood flowing from his mouth, eye barely opening he shakily reaches his hand up to Alvin's face cupping it staining it with blood.
"I-I'm s-sorry Alvin...I didn't mean to get separated from you." He coughs again tears falling from his eyes. "I-I don't want this" He closes his eyes his face wrinkling up as he cries the hardest he's ever cried in his life. "I don't want to leave...I-I want to be with you Alvin...I-I..."
Alvin shaking, tears flowing from his eyes running down over Jude bloodied hand.
"I can't lose you Jude! I can't please...I...I just can't...what would I do without you?! Tell me that!...Don't talk like I'm going to lose you!" Holding Jude as tightly as he can refusing to let him go no matter what. He leans his head against Jude's chest hearing his dull heart beat.
"Alvin...I nee to tell you something...I-I can't keep it bottled up anymore especially now when I'm...in this condition" he tries to laugh as if he made a joke but he cries out in pain from all of his wounds.
Alvin still listening to his heart beat."w-what is it Jude...?"
"Alvin...I..I love..you..." His eyes start to blink slower as he continues to bleed out on the ground beneath them.
Alvin shoots up in shock his face twisting the agony written on his face. "I love you too Jude more than anything...more than anyone."
"Thank you Alvin..." he smiles his innocent smile, his hand falling from Alvin's face, his body limp in Alvin's arms.
"No...no...please no..." Alvin shakes Jude gently. "No Jude you can't you just can't! please don't leave me! please! No!" He shakes him harder crying hysterically insanity in his eyes. He lays Jude's body down into the puddle of blood kissing him gently on his cold lips. He takes his gun and holds it to his temple.."I can't do this without you Jude, I won't" He pulls the trigger collapsing beside Jude arm around him adding his own blood to the puddle.
Alvin snaps awake sitting up tears streaming down his face looking for Jude frantically. "Jude! Jude?! where are you? please come out?!" tears staining his cheeks.
Jude runs into the room from the bathroom. "Alvin! what is it? what happened?" He runs to his side pulling Alvin into his arms. Alvin letting it all out against him holding him as close as he can.
"I thought I lost you." he sniffles. "I dreamed that you died...in my arms...I failed you..I couldn't protect you. It was my worst nightmare."
"shhh I'm right here Alvin, I'm just fine."Jude holds him tightly running his fingers through his hair."I will never leave you, you will never 'fail' to protect me, don't worry Alvin."
Alvin leans up rubbing his eyes "I must look like an idiot crying over a nightmare." He laughs looking at Jude with love in his eyes. "I want to admit something to you, I need you to know." this time instead of Jude blushing it was Alvin whose cheeks became red.
This took Jude by surprise. "what is it Alvin?" looking at him with pure curiosity.
"I-I want to tell you something that I've never told anyone before...I've never felt this strongly for someone before and that dream really shook me up and made me realize that life is short. Jude..." He clears his throat. Looking Jude directly in his golden eyes. "Jude Mathis, I love you..." He takes a deep breath.
Jude shocked by the confession that Alvin just made just stares at him for a second before it hits him his face turning completely red. "Alvin...I...wow...I didn't know you felt so strongly about me...I can admit that i have the same feelings for you, I love you too Alvin, I really do. I know I'm young...but I can't help but feel like this a feeling I'll never have again, not for anyone but you."
Alvin smiles bigger than Jude's ever seen him smile. He pulls Jude into his chest they both just sit there enjoying being in eachothers embrace.
With everything that has happened between them, Jude feels the most connection to him right now in his embrace with the love and the happiness filling the air.
"you are the most amazing person, Alvin, I hope you know that." He smiles against Alvin's chest.
Alvin smiles kissing the top of Jude's head. "I would be nothing without you Jude, I mean that."
Jude smiles and blushes in response. "we should go see the others and let them know that you're okay Alvin." As much as he wants to stay in Alvin's embrace as long as possible they've been in their room for at least 6 hours thats more than enough time.
"alright kid" he gets up and stretches grabbing his clothes still blood stained, putting them back on. "alright Jude" he smiles "lets go."
Jude follows Alvin out of the room, grabbing his hand as they walk, Alvin responding with a smirk as they make their way to the group awaiting their return.
