Don't you forget about me

Remember

Notes:

Greetings readers,

The chapter is a cutout of the most significant moments of Bruce and Diana's relationship. Memories that are not necessarily joyful, but which are, above all, proof of an unspeakable, incalculable, undoubted and unforgettable love.

Chapter 5 - Remember

"She asked him one of those days if it was true, as the songs said, that love could do anything.

It's true, "he replied," but you'd better not believe it."

(Of love and other demons - Gabriel García Márquez)

PAST

He screamed.

The strident sound of his voice, loudest, echoing through his mind. Powerful thrusts of his baritone, like thunder announcing a violent storm, like thunder which, to the believers in Norse mythology, signified the wrath of Thor, son of Odin.

"I do not want to forget her. Don't make me forget her."

But no one could hear the muffled cries in her mind.

She cried.

Tears flowed like a river through the cheekbones. Tributaries pouring into a sea of melancholy and regret.

"I do not want to forget him. Do not force me to forget him"

She begged, but no one could hear the appeals locked in her mind.

Memories

She opened her eyes slowly, stretching her muscles lazily, before looking around and feeling inexplicably happy as she contemplated Bruce's still-dormant features.

"Please ... stay," he'd asked her the night before, when she was about to leave. His low, sharp tone of voice told him to leave him alone, but his eyes begged for comfort and affection.

He carried her to bed, but not to discharge his frustrations by having sex. He was physically and emotionally exhausted and had not been able to get aroused the way he would usually. His lack of excitement did not matter much to Diana, though. He just wanted to forget that hellish day and did not mind not having sex. He just wanted her to stay.

After being crammed into an hour-long hug, Bruce could not stop himself from kissing her, murmuring something about how tolerable the pain was with her at his side. She had no idea when she had fallen asleep, but obviously she slept for a long time.
