before azure had realized it twotime quietly stood up, helping azure up to meet them eye to eye. twotime felt their heartbeat quicken as azure positioned himself infront of the themself and held their cheek softly, their thumb gently caressing twotimes cheek looking into their eyes with nothing but love and care for his wellbeing, missing the feeling of their body against his. twotimes attempt at keeping their preemptive tears from escaping was becoming a nearly impossible task now. they had been craving his touch so horribly and yet- azure gently leaned into kiss twotime gently, as their lips locked. twotimes embrace slowly tightening as they stood infront of azures body knowing what must be done. the soft feathered wings positioned on twotimes back repositioned themselves, warmth seeping from the feathers to twotimes back being almost unbearably warm. azure slowly disengaged from the embrace and stepped back, azure began to utter a soft, loving, and single word, "nightshade-" before they were interrupted by a unexpected action against them.
twotime swiftly unsheathed their dagger before he could finish the word, quickly and violently driving their dagger directly into the empty heart of their lover that they made whole once more. twotime, without a single ounce of remorse in their eyes stared as azure screamed from the innital stab and shakily gasped any bit of air he could manage with azures lungs and throat filling with a his deep crimson blood which drowned twotime in its smell of a sickeningly warm and sour iron scent piercing their senses.
shakily azure looked to the person he had given his life to, he watched their eyes desperately only to be met with disappointment as twotimes eyes had gone from a caring, although a bit crazy but still very very loving pair of deep black and white eyes. to a soulless variation, with not a single thought other than to murder. within the moments he thought the pain of twotimes dagger planted solidly, similar to diamond shards puncturing holes into his heart, unimaginable pain shot throughout his body much like the roots of a nightshade growing into soil and becoming one with the earth.. the nightshade, a flower, one he associated with his beloved, the one he had fallen in love with over many years. twisting the blade into azures heart a little further than before he screammed weakly as he looked down only to immediately endure another final agonizing, bone crushing sensation as twotime twisted the blade into his chest fully, twotime watched as azures weak, shaking hand, never having taken anothers life, innocent in his own right slowly met their tainted fist, cut skin and drenched in his lovers fresh warm blood. the undeniable contrast was loud and sickening. telling a tale of a murderer for a falsified religion, never being real; stopped cold in his route of life ruining decisions by a victim he held so dear to his heart in which he stole the life of mercilessly. a cold calculated plan prosecuted on someone he held closer than his fabricated stories of a god who was never there to begin for promises of a second life which would never be granted. almost momentarily twotime had some sense of thought back immediately realizing what they did. as tears began streaming down their face uncontrollably azures hand soaked in his own blood gently reached up and brushed a tear off of twotimes cheek, only to be replaced by another tear.
azure closed his eyes softly, with baited breath and occasional weak coughs of blood he formed his final words almost as a whisper
his blood loss never ceasing, with the severity of his wound. his skin grew more pale after every pump blood coming from his mutilated heart flooded his throat to which he needed to cough out often, paired with the wound uncomtrolably spilling blood from his weak body,
they became limp in twotimes grip his body beginning to numb everywhere pain surging through his entire being and yet, forced these last words just for twotimes sake. his life drained and yet he still adored them, nothing could make him hate twotime. ever. “please.. nightshade, d- dont c- cry..… smile … for me.. pl.. please? i love y-“ azure stopped slowly, their mouth open mid way from what he was saying and his eyes softly relaxing with a stare which slowly glazed the top of his eyes,
they stared for a moment processing what had happened right before their eyes proceeding to sob violently, attempting to shake their lover back to any form of physical conciousness, desprate to hear azure say in his gentle caring tone, “i love you, nightshade” one last time. one last time is all they needed, they wouldve done anything
concidering the current situation in front of them, twotimes sobbing worsened as they leaned into azures lifeless chest, waiting for him to wrap his arms around their waist like always, positioning them in that manner weakly between sobs, desperately grappling for any chance to pretend they had never done what they did, only for azures arms to slowly and lifelessly slide back to his sides a moment later where twotime had originally lifted them up from.
defeated, they sobbed harder, sitting helpless with azures body beside them, they tore their dagger from azures body, deciding it would be best. almost immediately however a horrible smell potruded, the sickeningly scent of iron invading their senses. they watched as old blood slowly trickled from the wound, a darker and thicker replacement to the stream of new, thin and fresh blood that originally spilled, quickly wringing azure dry. slowly and lazily the pungent blood started gushing out from the large spot the dagger had ripped and destroyed.
twotime holding azure desperately close wishing for a solution, for him to come back. they calmed down little before between heaves and sobs they gently gave azure a final kiss, getting blood on their own lips but not worrying at all about it. as they sobbed next to his body they thought silently how a comforting place for the two of them to venture to, in a attempt to escape everything and be alone with eachother, turned to a stomach churning sickening view with blood soaking the grass and dirt below that they had once sat together on, with both of their bodies and clothes covered in eachothers blood respectively
