He pulled you into a hug.

"I'm sorry (F/N)... I can't help it..."

You froze, Beyond still holding you, he kissed your head.

"I know you don't feel the same way..."

He whispered into your hair, pulling you closer into his arms.

"Just let me stay like this,"

He spoke quietly. His grip around your body was warm. You hesitantly hugged him back.

"B?"

You questioned.

"Mmhm,"

He mumbled into your hair.

"What if I did feel the same way?"

You felt Beyond tense up. His voice higher than usual as he spoke.

"What?"

"What if I felt the same way?"

"Do you?"

You pulled away from the hug and looked up at him. You had so many conflicting thoughts in your head. But him confessing had stirred something in you. You leant forward and kissed him on the cheek. You smiled, a blush settling over your cheeks.
Beyond looked into your eyes, then moving them up above your head. When you think about it, you had seen him look just above people's heads a lot when you were back at Wammy's... He looked above your head, his eyes widening momentarily before looking back at your face. A sad smile played across his features,

"What's wrong?"

<Beyond's P.O.V>

I looked down at her. Her big, (E/C) eyes staring straight back. I looked above her head, and there it was, the date she was going to die. My eyes widened when I saw the date, I looked back down at her face with a sad smile.
'She can't leave me. Not yet. I only just got her back,' was all I could think...

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing (F/N), don't worry about it,"

"No, tell me what's wrong,"

"It's okay, I'm fine,"

I smiled, I'm sure she could tell it was fake but (F/N) seemed to know not to push it any further.

"Okay then,"

I smiled, a real smile this time and leaned down to kiss her soft lips. I pressed mine against hers and wrapped my arms around her.
'If I'm going to loose her I may as well make the best of it,' I wasn't happy about loosing her so soon, but I couldn't say anything. She wrapped her arms around my neck. This was the first time I felt genuinely happy in a long time. Holding her, kissing her, being with her; it was perfect.

<Your P.O.V>

Beyond leant down to kiss you, placing his lips on yours. He wrapped his arm around your waist and you wrapped your arms around his neck. It was strange, the whole situation. But you were happy. You felt his tongue trace over your bottom lip asking for entrance. You pushed lightly on his chest, pulling away from the kiss.

"Too soon?"

You nodded. He pulled you into another hug, running his hand through your hair. He then ran his hands down your back to your ass.

"Hey! What are you-"

Beyond proceeded to pick you up.

"oh..."

You said awkwardly. Beyond chuckled, kissing your cheek. ︎Beyond started walking, but because you were facing him you couldn't see where you were going. He turned to push open a door with his back. He stepped in and kicked the door shut behind him. He then laid you down on the bed,

"Wait, I- I-"

You were cut off by ︎Beyond's lips on your forehead,

"Shh,"

You felt a blush spread across your cheeks,

"It's late, you should get some sleep,"

He pressed his lips to your forehead once more.

"I'm going to stay up for a bit. Goodnight,"

"Night,"

"I love you,"

You weren't sure how to respond, so giggled instead. Beyond left leaving you to rest your head on the pillow and roll onto your side, closing your eyes.

<Beyond's P.O.V>

I walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind me. I walked to the kitchen and sat down.

1st February 20xx

That date, (F/N)'s death, just over two months left with her. I started to crack, what if it's my fault she dies? What if I can stop it, but don't? What if I do stop it? Will she die happily? Stop. I have to stop before it drives me insane. I love (F/N), so very much, and I never want her to leave my side. I wouldn't be able to handle it if she left, what am I going to do?
