Another day,yet,it was winter,and Uranus had been longing for the god-like Earth,he didn't see that cheerful smile he always had,his need for Earth lingered inside his body like smoke blowing out of a smokers' mouth. He never understood addiction until he met Earth. Up until then,his only addiction was air. It was something he felt,and each day passed harder. At first,he thought that it was just a one-time thing. But then,the siren dissapeared,from his dreams,from everything. The beach was frozen. The water'd burn anyone who'd dare touch it's icy surface. It seemed something that he'd easily pet go of. He was used to giving up on things. But Earth wasn't a thing,he was the beam of light that guided Uranus through the night,his compass when lost at sea,a beacon of hope during the darkest moments,loneliness was the monster that always drew near to Uranus. And it was knocking at his door-no,it was underneath his bed at night. It followed him everywhere he went. Chasing him in every place where he tried to hide.

Work was harder than ever,he always felt tired,needing to sleep constantly. It was a way of coping. It was the hardest time of his life ever. He'd take dozens of pills to just to see Earth,even if it wasn't real! Even as a hallucination! It was still his Earth! His blue and green jewel. His everything. All his power,but it'd been three long months! Three long months since he's seen the siren!
He fucking hated his life,and every now and then he'd find himself staring longly at blades. Wondering if they'd put him out of his misery. Perhaps they would. But what if the next summer Earth showed up with his shimmering scales in the hot night and not find Uranus there? He wouldn't miss out on that chance. He couldn't.

Not knowing what else to do,he colapses on the floor,broken like a vase that's been tipped over by a little kid. Laying there,tears fall out of his eyes,wetting the fluffly rug that sat beneath his crushed soul. The wind blew, the tree at his window not moving an inch. Staying firmly against the wind with only the leaves not following suit. The wind seemed to be screaming at Uranus,as if he did something wrong that mads Earth banish his love. What did he do to deserve this? Where did he go wrong? What did he do wrong? This wasn't fair one bit. Atleast to Uranus. Nothing seemed to be going well.

He feels the wind blow against his damp cheeks,as if slapping them. Punishing him.
Couldn't this end? He just wanted to see Earth. All he wished for. All he tried for. All he fought for. All he won for. Nothing else. Just that. No other sole reason to his countless sleeping nights. Nights that he wished for Earth to be in his bed. There to soothe all his worries away.

"Missed me?" A voice.

Uranus looks around at his room. The window had been opened. And inside the same space as him was the siren. He wanted to get closer but his knees and legs wouldn't listen no matter how much he wanted them to. And so,he remained there,yearning to get closer to the siren. So,he crawled,placing one hand in front of the other and dragging himself with it. To ge able to reach the being he so desparately wanted to. Instead,he falls in on himself,somewhere near Earth's feet. At his failed attempt,he sobs even harder,screaming his lungs out enough to scare anybody. He just wanted to see Earth. What was so bad in that?

"You poor thing.." The siren bent down to his level. Looking at Uranus as you would to a lost puppy. "There's no need to cry." Earth grabs him by the armpits,placing Uranus on the bed where his fingers made their way to his chin. He gets pulled in for a kiss. Earth tasted salty,like the ocean itself. But it was a taste that had become comforting to him,he adored it now,but maybe that was because he also tasted a little sweet. He was the one for sweet and salty combos.

They both pull out,with Uranus already a mess. Yet Earth still pulled him in for a kiss with tounge this time,Uranus knew what he was ding but just let him. Soon enough he feels eveything sleep away from him. And everything goes dark.
