Grian watched as scar started placing cacti down not sure what he was doing, but then it hit. He was building a ring of cacti, like a boxing ring.

"Scar, I'm not going to fight you," Grian spoke in the softest of tones to which Scar simply looked away like a dog in trouble as he continued placing the cacti. "Scar, please" he spoke once more, and again, no reply, "Scar! Please listen! I'm not going to fight you! I hate to say this but I know I'll win," he said a hint of worry in his voice.

"Well, I want you to kill me, I don't want you to die Grian.. you deserve to win. You've basically watched me as if I'm a toddler this whole time, and now it's you and me. Nobody else, no more fighting after this." Scar finally spoke he barley taking a breathe in between his words,

"But..I ca-" Grian began yet was quickly cut off by scar who was now holding both of grians hands in his own, the avians hands looked the size of a child's in scars, "Grian. You can, I know you can, I believe in you and I won't be upset, I promise" he said softly

"Scar! I mean it, I can't!" The blonde said now he was the one looking at the floor. Scar moved a hand to raise grians chin so he was looking at him before holding his hand again, "But why, why can't you? You've done it to others," the brunette spoke still sounding completely calm which somewhat put Grian on edge.

"Because I love you, Scar" Grian said trying to untangle the two's hands, scar simply looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. "You mean it? Like, genuinely?" The taller of the two said.

Grian shuffled his feet slightly trying to make himself look small, "was it not obvious?" He said simply, scar just looked at him before a wolffish grin appeared on his face, "It was very obvious, I love you too, Gri" scar said almost too smugly for grians liking

"can't we just, stay here? It's peaceful and nobody can interrupt us, it'll just be me and you scar" Grian asked hopefully yet scar seemed to not like the idea, "We need to go home," the brunette said taking a step back breaking two of the cacti.

"Scar?, scar, what are you doing..!?"

......

"I'm sorry, if you're not going to kill me then.. it has to be done one way or another."

Silence, nobody spoke the two just looking at eachother Grian with fear and worry in his eyes, Scar with a smile spread across his face ear to ear,

"Scar please.."

"I love you, pesky bird"

Then scar took a step back, free falling, Grian couldn't move, his body had froze up, silence, then a cracking sound,

"I love you too scar.." Grian said a crack in his voice knowing scar wouldn't hear his last goodbye.
