WP-1

Prapai pulled away from Sky and pulled at the chain holding Sky captive.

"Let me get you out of this." Prapai stood up and pulled his gun out once more. He had hid it earlier knowing he wouldn't be needing it to face the men inside and he didn't really want to traumatize his Sky by showing him how he could kill each man with one bullet each. Still, he just had to use it since it would be faster than looking for the key.

He fired one shot away from Sky's vision, covering it with his body facing away from Sky. The chain easily broke.

Right after the chain broke though he swore he had heard something which made him face Sky once more. There he saw him...

WP-2

Pai pulled away from Sky who opened his eyes. His eyes were swimming with a mix of confusion and something else he could only wish he was right about... Love.

He had put their foreheads together, closing his eyes while breathing in and out to calm himself.

It was a few minutes of silence when he heard something..

When he opened his eyes looking at Sky once more only for a movement from behind Sky to catch his attention.

WP-1 / WP-2

Prapai pushed Sky out of the way as he saw the heavily bruised Petch pointing a gun at his love. He moved fast but the bullet was faster. He could feel a numbing feeling in his shoulder but he still raised his hand holding his gun firing one shot dead between the other man's eyes.

'There, he's finally dead.' Prapai didn't know what was going on but he can clearly see Sky's panicked face. Then suddenly it's like he's seeing and hearing two.

"P-Pai!" / "Khun!" It was both Sky's voice but they were saying two different things.

"HELP!" / "S-SOMEONE!"

"Shh... Don't cry my Sky... Your beautiful face should only be with a smile." Prapai reached out to cup Sky's face. Faces?

"N-No... P'Pai... (sob) Y-You said you would never leave me..." / "K-Khun- P'P'Pai... P-Please don't l-leave me... Y-You still have to- (sob) t-tell me why y-you kissed me..."

Both the Sky(s) in his vision were sobbing too hard he's afraid the younger would faint from lack of air.

"It's okay my love. I'll be fine. I won't ever leave you. I promise." Prapai tried giving his best smile towards the younger.

"No, no.. No... Please... Someone..." Sky was already cradling Prapai's body, he had caught the older man after Petch was shot by Prapai.

"Shh... It's okay... It's okay..." Prapai whispered as he felt his consciousness slowly drifting to darkness.

WP-1

Sky didn't know what to do. There's too much blood coming from Prapai. He knew he was soaking with it but didn't budge from his hold. He couldn't, and he won't.

He held Prapai close to him rocking back and forth, still asking for help. It's all just getting too much. He never wanted to see his love like this. When he saw Prapai getting carried to an ambulance back when he got into an accident, Sky could feel his world crashing down. This time as well. It's like everything is falling apart.

'Dear god, why? Why does it have to be my love? Why did it have to be Prapai? He didn't do anything wrong! He had been a wonderful man. He's a great older brother, a good son, a wonderful man. Why? Why him? I can take it. Please... Just please save my love...' Sky prayed silently, repeatedly.

WP-2

Sky held tightly to the now unresponsive body of the man who he admits is scary but still can't stop feeling the warmth he had shown him. Never in the whole duration of his relationship with Gun, if you could call it a relationship, did he feel such warmth. That was why he's confused. He didn't know why a man who was technically like Gun, in the sense that they kill people and are part of the underworld, would ever treat him gently and warmly?

Yes, Prapai had been colder than the first time they met, and he was scared of the man, but that doesn't mean he never felt and saw how the man treated him differently from everyone else. He did treat Rain well, but when it was with him he would always smile and Sky could see how Prapai's eyes become softer, kinder and warmer when he's looking at Sky.

Now that very same man was in his arms slowly getting colder.

'Why is it that I am hurting? Why does it hurt to see you suffering? Please be safe. Please stay safe. Why would you save me just to get yourself hurt? P'Pai, please don;t leave me... Please, please, please...'

WP-1 / WP-2

A loud boom was heard echoing through the complex, the whole apartment shook from the impact.

Sky gasped as he held onto Prapai's unmoving form.

'No... No... What is it this time?!' Sky's body was shaking from everything he's feeling.

WP-1 / WP-2

Sky knows he's hyperventilating. He knew he had to breathe. But he can't get his brain to function well under all the things he's feeling, paired by his clear lack of strength from the days of starving under Petch's hands.

Sky closed his eyes, he can tell and feel that he's shaking uncontrollably. He knew he was breathing too fast, it's like he's not getting enough air. He just knew he's going through one of his panic attacks. He tried. He really tried to calm himself but it was futile. With everything that had happened to him and are still happening, it was all too much.

WP-1 / WP-2

Sky could feel his consciousness slipping away. He tried to stay awake but everything was too much for his body to take.

'P'Pai...' Was his last thought when he finally succumbed to the darkness.
