Broken Mirrors

Starry eyed

I looked into her bright blue eyes for the last time as she took a final shaky breath. "I- do.."

Carol

I gazed at the reflection of the stars in Brün's eyes. Pools of light swirled in the never ending abyss. God they were beautiful. She smiled her goofy smile, taking a sip of her coke. "Stop staring at me." Brün laughed after setting down her can.
"How can I not stare at the most beautiful eyes in the galaxy?" I replied, a smirk tugging at my lips as I moved closer to her.
Brün rolled her eyes and chuckled softly. "Are you excited for tomorrow?" She asked me as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "Of course" I replied and placed my head on her chest. We swayed together to the sound of 90's music blaring in the distance. "You know, we should probably get some sleep." Brün said softly.
"And what good would that do?" I asked with a grin, causing her to simply shake her head while laughing.
"You're a little shit, Carol."
"I know." R
"Come on, lets go to bed." Brün smiled and hugged me. She hummed the tune of Allstar quietly and carried on swaying. Gently, I closed my eyes and twirled her loose dreads around my finger. "Come on, Carol." Brün said quietly. She moved her hands from the back of my neck and took my hand.

We walked tiredly inside, closing the door slowly to not wake anyone. The tower was relatively calm. Most people were asleep, besides Tony. But then again, does he ever sleep? Brün lead me to our room and opened the door, wincing slightly as it creaked. Once inside, we closed the door again and opened the curtains, welcoming the ominous glow of New York lights. Tiredly, I slipped into my pjs and sat on the bed, my eyes drifting over to the windows. "What you looking at?" Brün asked me, a soft smirk plastered on her face.
"Nothing in particular." I replied as I covered my mouth to yawn. She smiled and sat down next to me, pulling me into a hug.
"I love this view..." Her voice trailed off as she gazed into the distance.
"So do I." I replied, but little did she know, I'd been looking at her. Gently, I pulled away from the hug and crawled over to the pillows. "You coming?" I asked her, knowing that she was probably already half asleep.
Brün nodded and came over to me, pulling the duvet over both of us. I shuffled closer to her as she was radiating heat and I was freezing.
"Good night, Love." Brün mumbled and kissed my cheek.
"Good night, I love you." I whispered, falling asleep in her arms.
