Don’t go (Taint!Sparklez)
Something short based off of @the-moon-pal ‘s Tainted!Sparklez AU, not relevant to the other ask I wrote :)

“Don’t go where I can’t go” Tom clasps Jordan’s hands tightly, “please”
Jordan feels Tom’s head bow onto his chest, their weight dipping more into their bed
“Please Jordan...” Tom whispers, a small crack in his voice. Jordan can only assume he’s squeezing his eyes shut
Jordan hesitates before he squeezes Tom’s hand and watches as his partner’s eyes open wide and watery
“I won’t” Jordan presses his forehead against Tom’s, “I promise”
but he knows it’s not possible. He can’t keep this promise. Nothings a guarantee in life, especially theirs. And Jordan doesn’t know if Tom is choosing to believe in a small midnight promise and ignorance or not but he holds Tom tight anyways when he says I love you
~
“Don’t go where I can’t go” Tom calls after Jordan, laughter in his voice as he chases after him
Jordan smiles and slows down so he can grab his hand. It’s not a scared late night worry but a playful little statement Jordan knows is full of love
“I won’t” He effortlessly says, knowing it’s not the same thing Tom said before
They walk hand in hand to Mots house, the land of Mianite as peaceful as it ever could be
~
“Don’t go where I can’t go” Tom quietly says, leaning on their living room wall
Jordan grimaces, his head in his hands. He’d never admit how much their fights scared him. Tom’s passionate and he’s stubborn. If they didn’t agree on something..
“I won’t” Jordan mutters, leaning back into the couch staring up at the wall
He knows, even with their stupid fights, Tom still loves him.
And he loves Tom.
It’s the small things that remind him what really matters. A promise they’ll be together through thick and thin. As far as they can go
~
“Don’t go where I can’t go” Tom says into Jordan’s shoulder before he can get through the doorway
Jordan leans back into him. He wants to stay, he’s love nothing more
“I won’t” Jordan smiles at him, “I’ll be back, Ianite just needs a quick favor. It’s nothing serious”
A promise that he’d be fine.
Jordan gently lifts Tom’s arms off of him and kisses his hand. Tom watches with tired eyes as he walks away muttering stuff about ethereal blooms
A promise that wouldn’t be kept
~
“Don’t go where I can’t go” Tom screams after Jordan
The strangled cry only gets a smirk in return
Tom feels tears fall down his face as a purple sludge shoots from his arms and wraps tightly over his neck, his heels gripping at the edge of the precipice
“Jordan please” his voice is scratchy and everything starts to get blurry but he can see two eyes that are supposed to be blue glow green. A twisted smile that wasn’t Jordan’s. It makes him feel sick
“I’m not going anywhere”
A promise broken
Tom feels air hit him as his throat is released and he gasps before he realizes he’s falling to the ground below
