Song: Lvr Boy by awfultune
The light of the fire was dying into the night: swirling and crackling and turning to dust. It felt like the end, and perhaps that was because it was. The end of mankind, the end of humanity, the end of life.
But it didn't really matter so much— not as long as he had her in his arms as the day turned into the night and life became death.
"I used to get on my knees," Cinder hummed into the night, her voice cracking with dehydration and the cold. "And I'd pray for love to come and find me someday— for love to come meet me my way."
Kai stroked his fingers upon her arm, stroking the fabric of her torn coat. His eyes turned to the sky and his thoughts wandered to her and how he loved her and the feeling of her heartbeat against his side.
"Your love hit like a brick to the face," Kai teased, though there was little life left in his words. "You put me back in my place. I didn't know if I was cut out for it."
"I'm glad you were," Cinder murmured, pressing her lips to his neck for an instant before bringing her head back down to rest upon his chest. They were so weary— so tired of it all. "You're my lover boy," she whispered. "You are the greatest love of my life, and whenever I'm with you I belong. You're my world."
"But the world is ending," Kai breathed the words out like a prayer.
Cinder nuzzled her face against his chest, and he could feel the gentle trickle of tears leaking through his coat. He held her tighter.
"Then I'll end with you."
