Attempted Suicide

Dust and Blue were sitting in their room, Blue laying down in a cat like position, snuggling next to Dusts legs. Dust pet Blues soft ears, they twitch lightly and Dust runs his hand down his side, kissing his forehead. Dust lifts Blues head onto his lap and pats it slowly. Blue purrs, loving the attention. Dust hugs his boyfriend closer and whispers sweet nothings into his ear as he pets them. Dust pulls his boyfriend up into a kiss, which Blue happily returns as his tail swishes around happily. Blue gets up, as he heard the phone ringing loudly. After Blue leaves the living room, Dust calls out "Winter, im going to the store for a bit, I'll be back soon" He heard Blue give a single "ok" and grabed his keys, heading towards the houses door. Dust shuts the door behind him, thinking about how thankful he was smart enough to have a long sleeve shirt, it being extremely cold outside. He goes to his truck, picking his way through the pilled up snow. He gets to the Ford and starts the car, turning the radio on, singing along to his and Blues favorite song 'Wolves in the wind' (as far as I know not a real song). He sings along to almost every song that comes on. Eventually reaching the store he had been looking for. Dust parks the car next to a Chevy forlander and gets out, locking the doors to the car. He heads towards the door and pushes it open. The store he went in was a jewelry shop.

Kay Jewelers to be exact, he was wanting to get Blue something...very special for their two year anniversary...A ring. He walks inside and sees a young skeleton working behind the counter of the jewler store (There was different stores for the different races). Dust walks up and stands infront of them "H-Hello....Um...I need an e-engagment ring....please" Dust fumbls with his fingers, being very shy, for he had no idea what to expect at a shop like this for hed never been in one. The young skeleton looks up at Dust, a smile across his skull. The skeleton wears a name tag that reads Quill "Hello, is there anything you need help with today sir?" He says with a sing-song like voice. Dust looks up at him "u-um...yes please. Im looking for a engagement ring f-for my boyfriend...." Dust lets out a heavy sigh "We met in Jounior high and got together in Highschool....Iv been thinking about this discion for a while...and i know its right" Quil nods in agreement, looking over different rings "Well, is there any specific type of ring you think he would want?" The young cashier looks at different ones, arranging them in order. Dust looks at the ones in the glass, thinking about ones that hed seen online. He pulls his phone out and looks through his camera, pulling one up

Dust points at his screen "This one, he would love it. Do you have it in stock?"
Quil nods "The Vancro amethyst..Very good choice, if he's an artist ill bet he will love this ring" he smiles and Dust nods "He is, and that is the intention heh" Dust giggles abit and Quil smiles again and walks to the back after asking Blues ring size. Dust waits for a few moments and then Quil comes back, holding a bag with a tiny outprint of a ring, He sets the bag down carefully and with a pair of gloves, takes out the ring. Dust gazed at it, it being even more beautiful in person "Is this the one your wanting sir?" Quil asks, interrupting Dusts gaze "ummm, yes please, that's the one" Quil nods and places the ring in a small lace bag, handing it to Dust. Dust thanked him and paid for the ring, then walked outside. It was still winter so it was fairly chilly and snow was falling lightly. He goes to the Ford and starts it up, immediately turning on the heat, he was freezing from the cold. Dust turns the radio on to a random station and starts driving. The traffic was somewhat light but still very much of an obstacle to him and the Ford. About halfway through on the road back home, the traffic has built up so much and it seems that there is a wreak, but he can't really tell from all the heavy snow. He pulls out his phone and tries to call Blue "Cmon cmon cmon....Pick up the phone" Dust says as it goes to voicmail for the third time. He sets down his phone and leans back in his chair. Moments later the phone rings and he yanks it up from its spot "Blue?! Blue is it you??" He hears an affirmative sound from Blue and he relaxes. He lets out a breath he had no clue he was holding and says "Hey, umm might be a bit lare coming home...there is this huge traffic problem and the snows only gotten heavier and heavier..." All he hears is silence on the other line for a moment... then a voice "ok....Well hopefully you get back safe Dusty... I don't want you getting hurt" Dust nodded to himself "Don't worry Winter, ill be back soon enough. Traffics just bad is all" Dust looked ahead and saw the traffic from the wreak had cleared up a small bit "The traffic is moving a little faster now, Love you Winter. I'll be home asap" with that he hung up the phone and set it back on the middle section. The traffic had started to move a bit more easily so he followed behind it, soon reaching the road he had to turn on to get to his street. He turns onto the road and starts on the road soon reaching his and Blues house. He reaches it moments after and parks the car in the driveway. He decides it best not to bring in the ring seeing as how he was going to give it to him at their anniversary dinner that night. Dust sets the bag in the glove box and steps out of the car, grabbing the other groceries and walking inside. Dust sets down the keys and walks through the hallway towards Blues room. Once there he knocks twice and looks to see if Blue is inside "Winter? Are ya home?" He hears no response, but sees a little note laying on the desk, written in Blues handwritting. Dust cautiously picks up the note, scanning closely over each sparkly blue letter. Dusts eyes fill with tears as he reads the note and quickly runs from the house back to the car, tears streaming from his eyes. He picks up his phone and quickly calls 911 "Emergency Hotline, what is the problem?" He hears a smooth voice behind the phone "h-hi...m-my boyfriend l-left a note....o-of goodbye.....i-i n-need help finding him...b-before...before its to late..." Dust says his voice nowhere near steady. The person takes a minute "Where do you reside?" "309 Winter street" "Thank you, we will send some patrols to look for him" with that they hang up. Dust frantically starts the car and goes looking everywhere he can think Blue would be. The Park...no. The museum...still no. Art store...again no. He starts running out if ideas than remembers the first spot that Blue took Dust. He speeds down the country road and finds the place, The Lilla Garden....Blues favorite flowers.Dust barely parks the car before he is out of its hold. Dust runns over to the cherry tree, seeing Blue with a sharp blade in between his hands....many sharp formed cuts, leaking magic, turning the majestic snow into a deep blue. He hears sirens and looks behind him to see the ambulance, he grasps Blue in his arms and picks him up. The ambulance parks next to the red Ford and 3 nurces rush out of the vehicle and start to look for the injured victim, his Blue. He dips his head low and wispers into his ear "Dont let go Winter....Hold on please...for me...." he crys harshly, alerting the nurses. They run over to him and tap his shoulder "Sir? Are you the one that called for us?W-" they were alerted when they saw Blue clutched in Dusts arms "S-Sir we need to help him quickly, please follow us. We can t-" " NO! YOU WON'T TAKE MY WINTER! HES ALL I HAVE!" Dusts' tears role freely from his face. The nurse only nodded and helped him stand up. Dust continues to cry and stands up with her as they walk. Dust and the nurse and walk towards the vehicle, and the nurse opened the back doors and helped Dust who was still holding tight to his Blue, get into the ambulance. Dust walked in and sat down on the bed cautiosuly, doing his best not to harm Blue in any way. He sets Blue between his chest and lays him against it. He holds Blue tight as he wispers sweet nothings into his ears, as the nurse places an oxygen mask over his mouth. Dust feels Blues chest rise and fall and sighs heavily in relief. The nurses have bandaged his arms by now and Blue had regained a steady heartbeat. Blue breathed softly against Dusts chest, all that was left to do when they reached the Hospital was to discharge Blue after checking his vitals and such. Dust pulled Blue close and kissed his skull, he had been so frightened when he saw Blue laying on the snow, fearing the worse. Dust was so glad that his Winter was safe and back in his arms again. All they had left to do was get to the hospital and get Blue discharged. Someone had been nice enough to drive the car behind the ambulance to the hospital for Dust so he didn't have to walk to the park which was about three miles from the hospital. A few moments later they arrive at the hospital and Dust feels the vehicle park. He wakes up to Blue wrapped around him, softly breathing on his neck. Blue stirs awake and blinks gently as he sits up, wincing from the numbness in his arms. Dust picks Blue up and sets him in his lap. A nurse opens up the back entrance and a ray of light shines into Blue and Dusts faces, it had been around 3 in the morning when the two of them had gotten into the car. Dust hissed a small bit which made Blue giggle softly. The nurse helped the two out of the car and the orher worker who had been driving Dusts car stepped out as well. The second worker walked over and put a sheet in Dusts hands to take inside "This diagnostic report sheet should give the doctor's enough proof that Mr.Blueberry is alright. I hope you have a good day you two" she says and waves them goodbye and walks away. Dust grasps Blues hand and walks with him into the hospital. Once they walk inside they are greeted by a tall doctor
who's name tag read Coral. The doctor shook hands with the both of them and said "hello sirs, I was told I was supposed to escort a young couple by the name of Blue, and Dust. I assume that would be you two?" Dust nodded his head and the doctor held out his hand "may i have the forms?" "Uh yea, sorry bout that, here" Dust hands over the forms and the doctor thanks him then proceds to tell them to wait in the lobby. The two walk to the lobby and sit next to each other, Blue lays his head on Dusts shoulder and falls back asleep. A few moments later, Coral walks back into the lobby and hands Dust the release forms "If he ever has any problems like this again, go to them" he whispers and points to a number on the bottom of the forms. Dust nodds and wakes Blue and helps him out of the hospital towards the car which has been parked close enough to the hospital. Dust opens Blues door and helps him inside, not wanting to hit the bandages still around his wrists. Once inside, Blue almost immediately falls asleep against the plush fabric of the seat, Dust turns on the radio and lets it play softly, turning it down as to not disturb his boyfriend. Once back at their house, Blue steadily walks inside and goes to the couch. Dust follows shortly after, holding a small plastic bag for Blue, he walks over and sits down next to his cute boyfriend, soon to be husband, hopefully. Blue stirs lightly and sits up when he feels Dust sit next to him. He stares at the small bag "Dust....whats that?" Blues voice is small and childish, almost like his normal self "well Blue....Ive been...thinking and..." he sighs "why is this so hard..." he whispers to himself. He takes out the content from the baggie, the ring, and places it in his pocket without Blue noticing. He holds Blues hand in his own, lacing their fingers "Blue Flores.....Will...Will you...m-marry...me.." He says as he gets on a single knee and opens the box infront of Blue. Blue has tears of joy springing from his eyes as he nods his head "Yes yes Yes! A million times Yes!" Dust smiles and picks Blue up, swinging him around lightly. He kisses Blue deeply and slips the ring onto his finger "I love it Dusty. It-Its beautiful" He says, tears still shining down his face "And I love you, Winter. My Winter forever more, nothing is more beautiful than you" Dust says as he kisses him again. Dusts world was finnaly happy, he had the man of his dreams as his own...
