Tears of an Angel (Boy X Boy)

Chapter Twelve: The End of Nigh

I fell asleep during the night and then woke up in the morning. Kyouta laid beside me and I smiled laying my head on his chest. I knew what today was. I knew what would happen, and I knew I had to kill Thorn. I placed a kiss on Kyouta's cheek. He opened one eye.

"Morning my little angel," He mumbled pulling me to him. 

"Good morning," I said.

"Today I am all yours," He said.

"That sounds perfect," I mumbled.

"What do you wanna do?" He asked looking down at me.

"I wanna just lay here," I said looking at him.

"That sounds wonderful," he said and placed a kiss on my forehead. I smiled and cuddled closer to him. He wrapped his arms around me. We remained like that for some time tangled with each other. No sounds or words exchanged between us besides our breathing. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was afraid. Why wouldn't he be afraid? He knew that today was the day that he would meet God. The day that he left behind this material world. 

"Kyouta," I mumbled after what spent like days in his arms.

"Yes?" He asked and I heard the quiver in his voice.

"I will make sure that you don't die," I said looking up into his eyes.

He looked at me and sighed. "How?" he asked.

"Thorn has someone he cares for, and if I-"

"I heard what Thorn said," he said.

"About what?" I asked as he sat up. I sat up to better meet his height.

"About the fact that if you got in his way you'd die. I do not want you to die because of me," he said. "I want you to continue living on."

"But I can find a-"

"No. I want to keep you safe," he said looking into my eyes. "I want you to be the one who takes my soul."

I slowly nodded not wanting to argue with him.

"Promise me," he said.

"I.... I promise," I said.

He placed a gentle kiss on my lips then slipped out of bed. "I am gonna make us breakfast," Kyouta said and left the room without another word.

"How did he hear you?" I asked.

"All dying men can hear us. I thought you knew that."

"You knew that," I snapped.

"Yes I did and you did not know~"

"Fuck you," I growled.

"My ass is not for you."

"I cannot wait to kill you."

"And then try to save his soul."

"That is none of your concern."

"I am not the thing that is going to kill him... that is out of my control and out of your control."

"And what kills him then?"

"Some way that I shall not disclose."

"Then I just make sure that does not happen."

"Faith will assure it happens one way or another boy."

"Just like faith will make sure that I take the lives of everyone near you."

"Touch any of them and then I kill you next."
