Theodore fell to the floor. His stomach started gushing out blood. The exit wound was terrifying. Oh my god.
There was a infected standing over ted. Henry immediately shot him being extra careful not to hit Theodore. The infected person fell backwards. That bastard.
Henry looked back down at Theodore. He was bleeding so much. Oh god there was so much blood. He's been shot. No no no.
"Theodore. No no no no no" This can't be happening. What kind of sick sick joke is this.
Ted looked like he was is so much pain. Oh god.

"I'm sorry Henry I can't go on anymore."

Henry pulled Theodore into his arms. This can't be happening. Ted writhed in pain. Oh god the look in his eyes. They were bloodshot and pained. God.
"It's ok Henry." Ted's voice was so weak. Henry could barely recognize his voice. It was just weak and grainy. Henry hasn't heard anyone sound like this since...

"Fuck off henry, let me drink in peace."

This is his fault. He should have been protecting Theodore. He could barely use his gun, he couldn't protect himself. FUCK.
"I'm so sorry." Henry couldn't stop himself from crying. He's just so in love with Ted and he's... been shot.
Theodore looked so miserable. Henry could barely comprehend the pain he must be in.
There was so much blood. Oh god. He let this happen.

"It's just a little day trip. We'll be back before you know it ok, Hen?" He smiled sweetly.

"I love you Henry. I love you so much." Theodore cried. His voice was so jarring to Henry. It just barely sounds like him. Henry couldn't stand it.
Ted pulled himself up and kissed Henry. That had to be super painful. That was the most painful kiss Henry had ever experienced. God. There was no bliss, no hope. Henry should have fucking protected him. YOU DUMB BASTARD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN.
"I'm sorry Theodore. I should have protected you I'm so sorry." Henry tried to keep himself from sobbing but he couldn't. He could barely breath. He can't die, he can't, not him too. Please he'd do anything.

"Come one Henry don't you trust me? I know how to drive" he laughed brightly.

"It's not your fault." Theodore is too sweet, not blaming Henry when it's so obviously his fault. God Henry loves him so so much.
Henry can't lose him. He can't. What would he do. He can't lose someone else. Not another person.
"How bout a dance." Theodore's voice was raspy. His rich singing voice sounded meek. Henry's heart hurt so much.

"Kiss today goodbye"

"Let's make a start." Ted's voice got raspier and weaker the farther he went through the verse. Henry can't just leave him to sing alone.

"And point me toward tomorrow"

"Music like this can really thrill you." Henry joined in. The look it Ted's eyes was just so beautifully tragic. He would do anything to see Theodore smile.

"We did what we had to do"

"You'll lose the blues," Henry would do anything to be back in the studio playing the piano as Theodore sang to him.

"Won't forget, can't regret,"

"And you may lose your heart." Ted's voice cracked slightly. That hurt. It hurt so much. His amazing voice, the voice that Henry truly adored. God it's literally breaking.

"What I did for love." Chad kissed Henry's forehead."

Not only was the person he loved going to die but fucking all of humanity. Henry's a failure. He couldn't do anything.
"I can't do it. There's nothing I can do." Henry can't do it. Not without him. But Theodore was dying in his arms. He was letting everyone down. Everyone.
"It's ok, Henry." Theodore loved Henry more than he deserved. He should be mad at Henry.
Henry didn't deserve Theodore... even for the limited time.
"No it's not." Henry couldn't stop himself from crying.
