Song for the chapter: The Light Behind Your Eyes - My Chemical Romance

They started driving, filling the silence with stories of when they were in love but wouldn't confess it, how Michael had a file on his laptop called "Luke blushing" and Luke would make stupid cheesy playlists on Spotify about Michael

"When I die... I don't wanna end up like one of those things" Michael spoke, making Luke erase the smile on his face "You know what to do, I know it's hard bu-"

"Can we please not talk about that now?" Luke tensed up his muscles against the steering wheel

"Luke, I'm dying" Michael looked at him, his green eyes were red and dilated, his face getting paler and his veins starting to be more visible, but Luke could never see him any less than beautiful "I need to say this now because I'm afraid I won't make it"

"Okay" The blue eyed couldn't say anything else without breaking down, the weight on his chest wouldn't let him breath "Okay, go ahead"

"I want you to promise you'll do it without me, you'll find an group and keep surviving, you won't kill yourself or anything like that, please..."

"It's not fair" Luke spoke "It's not fair, I am useless, I don't know how to survive in a world like this, I'm not you, I'm not Dean, I'm not a hero who would give their life for someone else. You were the one who would have to make it alone, you had a chance. I don't think I'll even get over this pain- I love you" The blonde was now crying on the wheel, tears running through his cheeks and sobs leaving his mouth

"You gotta be strong, Lukey, I know you can make it" Michael took Luke's face with his shaky hand and connected their lips, Luke's lips were freezing in comparison to Michael's, and Michael was so weak "Smile, your face lits up when you do"

Luke chuckled between tears, deepening the kiss, enjoying every single moment before pulling apart "C'mon, if we hurry up we'll get there for the sunset"

. . .

Luke held his boyfriend in his arms, Michael's breathing was irregular but it was strong for now. Luke knew he wouldn't make it to tomorrow, but the sea wind and the sunset light hitting on Michael's face was the most beautiful thing he would ever presence

He sat Michael next to the fireplace, close enough to the water for him to touch it with his feet. The blue haired played with the sand, splashing the water when the waves reached him, he looked so happy, and that smile on his face made Luke even happier

They made secondhand smores with sweets they found on the impala. Michael didn't eat much, but he said he liked the taste. Then they watched some videos and recorded a bunch of others, for a moment it felt like they were on a simple holiday and they'll be back at school on Monday, but as it started to get dark Michael started to lose spirit, the calm before the storm

His head rested on Luke's lap, the blue eyed's hands went through his faded blue hair "You're almost completely blonde again" Luke smiled

"I'll dye it black next time" Michael spoke, a satisfied smile painted his lips "I bet I'd look hot"

"Very, I'd fuck the shit outta you" Luke laughed "I'll take you home, lock the door and push you to bed, then I'll jump on top of you and kiss you until my lips hurt"

"You're my home" The green eyed smiled

"We're not having sex now, Michael" That made him laugh, a sting of pain rushing through his body when he did so

"Even if I wanted to, I don't think I'd be able to" The boys' fingers were interlocked, Luke's thumb making circles on the back of his lover's hand, calming his breathing and heartbeat "Luke, please sing to me" Michael closed his eyes, a smile still on his lips when Luke started to sing

"So long to all my friends
Everyone of them met tragic ends
With every passing day
I'd be lying if I didn't say
That I miss them all tonight
And if they only knew what I would say

If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
One day I'll lose this fight
As we fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright

Be strong and hold my hand
Time-it comes for us, you'll understand
We'll say goodbye today
And I'm sorry how it ends this way
If you promise not to cry
Then I'll tell you just what I would say

If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I'll fail and lose this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright

The light behind your eyes
The light behind your

Sometimes we must grow stronger and
You can be stronger when I'm gone
When I'm here, no longer
You must be stronger and

If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright

The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes"

By the time Luke stopped singing he was on tears once again, feeling how life slipped away from Michael's body, how his light was being taken and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He sobbed, pressing his Mikey against his chest, feeling as the heart of the boy he loved turned off gradually "It's okay, baby, you can go, you don't have to be strong for me anymore"

Luke pressed his lips against his forehead, crying and crying until his throat hurted, he was scared of a walker hearing him but he couldn't stop, everything hurted and it felt like it would never stop

He had a knife in his hand, Michael said he didn't want to become one of those things and Luke was the only one here to avoid it, although he did thought on letting him bite him for a second, but he could do that, not to Michael

In a quick move the knife was in and out Michael's head, dark blood came out of the wound. Luke pressed him against his chest once again, singing Hey Jude under his breath, wondering if he could really make it on his own

"Hey Jude
Don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better..."

THE END

Was this too sad? I'M SORRYYYYY
