Song: My Heart is Buried in Venice by Ricky Montgomery
"Come rest your bones next to me," Kai whispered, his lips chapped and peeling. He looked ghostly against the firelight— terrible in his dying state. Cinder could hardly bear to look at him with his sunken eyes and shaggy hair. He was no longer the boy that she had met so long ago, but then again, she was no longer the girl he had once known.
Cinder sank down to the earth and allowed for Kai to wrap his arms around her in that embrace that only lovers and the dying were able to maintain— they were both. They had fallen in love before the end of the world— the collapse of society— and still they remained with one another.
But everything was ending oh-so swiftly, and darkness would soon consume them. So Cinder allowed for herself to be held; she allowed herself to stop fighting their inevitable doom.
"Toss your thoughts into the sea," Kai mumbled, his lips pressed to her ear. "I'll pull up each of our anchors so we can get lost— just you and me."
A single tear slipped from the corner of Cinder's eye and onto Kai's neck. She held him tighter, trying to forget her troubles, but they were difficult to forget. All she could remember was the life she had once had with Kai before wars had ravaged the earth and mankind had fallen upon one another.
Despite the world and how it had fallen, she still had Kai, the dearest love of her life. He wouldn't leave her to bleed or to breathe alone— he was with her until the very end. Her heart was buried within the depths of his soul, and she would allow for only him to take her home.
A/N: Honestly I don't know what the heck this is but... enjoy?
