Blue Neighborhood Genix (Gene x Zenix)

Talk Me Down

I want to sleep next to you,
But that's all I want to do right now.

I want to come home to you,
But home is just a place full of our safest songs.

Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3 AM shadow,
I'd rather fuel a fantasy, than deal witg this alone.

I want to sleep next to you,
But that's all I want to do right now...

So come over now,

And talk me down.

Dark grey clouds covered the sky, threatening rain to fall. Zenix's newly pale figure outlined by the faint shine of tue sun almost made him look seemingly translucent.

Zenix's was regretting his choice, but he was only still here for one sole reason.

As Zenix saw the group gathered by a newly placed and carved stone, he walked over, knowing no one would notice him.

Everyone was fighting to hold back tears, but one in perticular caught his eye.
Gene.

Cause your hands and lips still know their way around...

And I know I like to draw that line, when it starts to get surreal.

But the less timemthat I spend with you, the less you need to heal.

I want to sleep next to you,
But that's all I want to do right now.

So come over now,

And talk me down.

Sasha was rubbing his back comfortably, but it wasn't working, He shrugged it away, not breaking his gaze from the tomb.

As the priest finishs his blessing, everyone is dismissed, but Gene stays, falling to his knees.

All he wanted was for Zenix to be back in his arms, all Gene wanted was to be free.

So if you don't mind,
I'll walk that line.

Stuck on the bridge,
Between us,

Grey areas,
And expectations.

But I'm not the one,
If we're honest.

But Zenix is gone, and yet Gene still feels a presence.

As Gene enventually stands up, he spots a familiar looking styled brown head of hair.

But that's not possible.

And yet Gene was drawn to it.

As he reaches the figure, Gene softly rests his hand on the familiar looking boys shoulder, who immediately looks up.

It is him.

Gene is met with ghostly eyes and pale skin, but nonetheless it is the boy he had grown up with.

After surprised glances they pull eachother into a tight embrace, never wanting to let go, but when Gene sees Sasha in the corner of his eye, he pulls back.

I wanna be close to you.

The confused and worried look remains on her face, so Gene unwillingly follows her.

After leaving Sasha in the neighborhood, Gene cuts off in the direction of the beach, as he is completely sure of what he's about to do.

Childhood memories flash in his head as he steps onto a large boulder.

And with only a moment of hesitation, he starts sinking, as water fills his lungs and the burning sensation becomes present in his chest.

He knows he'll be happier.

The momentary pain will only last for as long as Gene lets it.

And talk me down.

End.
