33 - Love Never Dies

The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a silver glow that illuminated the world around Lando and Oscar. It was a night draped in silence, save for the soft rustling of leaves and the distant hum of nocturnal life. They stood together at the edge of a secluded clearing, the air thick with anticipation and the weight of unspoken words.

Lando felt the cool breeze brush against his skin, invigorating yet soothing. He turned to Oscar, whose presence seemed to flicker like candlelight—warm, alive, and ethereal. At this moment, every doubt and fear that had once plagued him melted away, leaving only a profound sense of connection. The shadows of their pasts loomed large, but the love blossoming between them cast a light that banished the darkness.

"I never thought I could feel this way," Lando began, his voice trembling with emotion. He stepped closer to Oscar, their bodies almost touching. "You're... everything I never knew I needed."

Oscar's gaze deepened, and the warmth in his eyes mirrored the flickering fireflies dancing in the air around them. "You make me feel alive in a way that I haven't felt in centuries," he confessed, his voice a soft, melodic whisper that resonated within Lando's heart. "You give me hope, a reason to believe in something beyond my existence."

Lando swallowed hard, feeling the weight of Oscar's words settle over him like a comforting blanket. "You've lived so long, Oscar. You've seen the world change and evolve, and yet here you are, still..." His voice trailed off as he struggled to articulate the swirling emotions inside him.

"Still what?" Oscar prompted gently; his brow furrowed in curiosity.

"Still yearning," Lando replied, the words spilling out before he could hold them back. "You've been through so much, and yet you still want love. You still want to feel. I admire that. I want to be part of that. I want to be part of your world."

Oscar took a step closer, their breaths mingling in the cool night air. "And you are, Lando. You're already a part of me. This connection we share—it's transcendent. It defies logic and time, reaching beyond what I thought was possible."

Lando could feel the heat radiating from Oscar's body, a stark contrast to the cool night surrounding them. It was intoxicating, the way their chemistry sparked like a wildfire, consuming them whole and leaving nothing but embers of passion and longing in its wake.

"Will you stay?" Lando asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "Will you choose to be here with me, even when the sun rises, and reality creeps back in?"

Oscar's expression softened, and a tender smile graced his lips. "I would choose you over and over again, no matter the circumstances. Time and mortality may separate us, but love—love is eternal. It can defy even the darkest of fates."

With those words hanging in the air between them, Lando's heart raced, his pulse quickening with anticipation. They were teetering on the edge of something monumental, and he could feel the gravity of the moment pulling them closer together.

Lando reached up, his fingers brushing against Oscar's cheek, tracing the line of his jaw. "Show me," he breathed, the words filled with longing. "Show me what it means to love like we've never loved before."

Oscar leaned into Lando's touch, his eyes fluttering closed for a brief moment. "Then let us embrace this moment, my love."

With that, Oscar captured Lando's lips with his own, the kiss igniting a fire that burned through them both. It was an electric surge of passion, each movement filled with urgency and tenderness, a perfect blend of their hearts entwined. The kiss deepened, becoming a fierce declaration of love, echoing through the stillness of the night.

Lando felt the world around them fade away, their surroundings dissolving into a tapestry of colours and sensations. Each brush of their lips was a promise, each caress a testament to the bond they shared. It was as if the universe itself conspired to celebrate their love, the stars twinkling brightly above as if they bore witness to this moment of intimacy.

As they finally pulled apart, breathless and trembling, Lando looked into Oscar's eyes, searching for reassurance. "This is real, isn't it?" he asked, his voice thick with emotion.

Oscar nodded, a slow smile spreading across his face. "More real than anything I've ever known. Our love transcends time, Lando. It's an everlasting force that will endure beyond this life and the next."

At that moment, Lando understood. The weight of eternity no longer felt daunting; it felt exhilarating. Their bond was unbreakable, woven together by the threads of fate and desire, destined to endure through the ages.

Hand in hand, they stood together in that clearing, surrounded by the soft glow of moonlight and the whispers of the night. Lando felt an overwhelming sense of peace wash over him, knowing that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together.

"Then let's create our own story," Lando declared, his voice firm with conviction. "One filled with love, adventure, and everything in between. A story where love never dies."

Oscar squeezed Lando's hand tightly, his heart swelling with joy. "Together, we rise."

As they stood entwined under the vast expanse of stars, the world faded into the background, leaving only the two of them—together, forever intertwined
