White rose, blood rose

The first thing he noticed was their eyes.
Well, how could you not?
Red, red like a rose blooming when it's spring, the prettiest flower he'd ever saw, they looked at him harshly, but that roughness only made their beauty stand out even more.
Next was their hair.
Wavy, almost white hair, only the faintest lilac could be seen.
Their short hair covered their pierced ears slightly (he could see their tips were pointy), strands of hair resting just above his eyebrows and forming a side fringe, and pretty, long eyelashes, all white and beautiful.
And at last, their lips, a vertical cut scarring pink flesh; slightly parting and distorted downwards- oh.
They were mad at him.
If they weren't so pretty, Xisuma would have realized this sooner and would have dodged the open handed slap in the face, but oh well.

Ex's eyes were shut and their body was limp against the snow covered land. Crimson liquid stained their clothes and the snow around them. Xisuma was slowly, painfully dragging his body closer to them, reaching out to touch their cold frostbitten skin.
His body felt the cold, felt the harm done by the players to Ex within his own body, he knew there wasn't much time left untill they run out of hearts, a tossup between blood loss, freezing, or another player finding them.
He moved back the hair covering Ex's face and caressed it. Their red eyes opened, and he feels like crying. Ex's hair had blood on it, their face and hands were soaked in it, their torn clothes damped as well.
"Don't die- I love you" he pleaded.
A white rose that drips blood, their petals wilting, their beauty fading, swallowed by all the red.
"Xisuma..."
[It was always going to end like this, love.]
