"I'm burning and it's because of you."
Three years ago one decision tore them apart before they even could be together. Now they meet again. With memories of the past and sweet promises of the future the world doesn't seem so bad. But the greed and...

"Do you think he is at the better place?" Earth asked, a soft wind gently breezing through his hair, kissing his relaxed face.
"He is...somewhere," Mix quietly replied, looking down at the calm waters that buried Henry forever, two months ago.
Earth huffed, "well, thanks."
Mix shrugged, "I won't tell you that I think he is at the better place because no one knows where the dead go. So, he is somewhere."
Earth threw an arm around Mix's shoulders and kissed his temple, "such a pragmatic doll...how about being more...romantic, hmm?"
"I am romantic," Mix pinched Earth's side, "but right now I am paying respect to Henry's memory, so I have to be honest...and I honestly am telling you that I don't know where his soul is."
"Okay, okay," Earth sighed, "I was hoping that you would try to cheer me up but I guess I won't get that anymore...even though I'm asking it from my boyfriend who according to his own words loves me very VERY much."
Mix rolled his eyes, "hearing you right now I don't think that you need cheering up, you seem to be more than fine...which I'm glad." A tender smile appeared on Mix's face as he kissed Earth's cheek and pointed at a white rose in Earth's hand, "time to give it to Henry?"
Earth nodded, stepping closer to the edge, he squeezed the rose in his hand tighter, "I know that flowers weren't your thing but this is the only thing that I can give you now. I mean..." Earth smiled, "I could give you money too but why would I waste them in the water?"
Earth let go of the white rose, watching as it elegantly fell on the surface of Henry's endless grave and let itself be lulled by the waves of the water.
The soft, fragile tranquillity settled upon them carefully, slowly, letting Earth say the final goodbye to his friend that died at the hand of his father. How ironic to think that while Earth was fighting who he thought was his father...it was his real father who gave him the most deadly blow.
Earth's mother tried to talk to him about giving Boss a chance but how could Earth do that? How could he just go to Boss and pretend as if nothing happened? Was he supposed to start now hugging him 'hello' and 'goodbye' every time they would 'unfortunately' meet and call him dad? No! Earth was doing pretty fine without a father. One criminal father was enough in his life. Two was a little bit too much for his liking.
"I can basically see a cloud of smoke coming out from your head," Mix chuckled, "what are we thinking about? I doubt it's still Henry."
Earth looked up from the rose drifting away and looked at Mix, "you know me too well...it's getting creepy."
