you’re breathing so hard you can’t hear the inhuman screams coming from outside the camper, and you’re grateful for it. you close your eyes to forget, at least for a brief moment, the way your muscles are pulsing with exertion, the dried blood making your skin crawl, and the horrors you’ve lived through so far constantly replaying behind your eyelids, plaguing the days and not making you sleep during the cold nights.
if you could, if you were braver, you’d stop fighting. you’d let them find you and put an end to all the suffering surviving is causing you. life has lost all of the things that made it beautiful enough to endure. all, except one.
felix entwines his fingers with yours, squeezing them with purpose, and you open your eyes again to look at him. sweaty and dirty, with his eyes blown wide and shining with fear, he’s the only precious thing you have left.
you found each other after the world had already begun to come down and you’ve been hanging off of each other like a lifeline ever since. you’ve watched people come and go, changed groups according to the situation and your necessities, lost friends and benevolent strangers. regardless of anything and anyone else, every day that ends is a successful one as long as you still have each other after the sun sets.
it’s brutally ironic how your first love blossomed during a time where everything on earth does nothing but wilt. people older than both of you, survivors that had lost hope, have broken down crying in joy witnessing the tender way you and felix act together. they said you represent hope, that not everything is lost if in such an ugly world something so wonderful still manages to exist. you’ve wanted to tell them just how hard and heart wrenching being in love like that is, but you’ve never find it in you to.
now, with monsters trying to kick down the camper’s door and surrounding you on all sides, you and felix stare into each other’s eyes like it’s the last time you’ll ever be able to do so. it might as well be, you think, and that’s why you lean forward and kiss him deeply, savoring the taste of his lips until you feel a knot at the back of your throat. he tastes sweet despite everything.
