The two climbed brittle walls and rocks, swung themselves over to distant areas, and slipped down dirt paths. The climbing became more relaxed and all they had to do was walk, Y/n started talking about the dream she had when she passed out.
"I remembered your proposal"
He started laughing nervously and weird, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
"I wish it had been different. I had a plan you know," he said. His eyes fell on her bare hand.
"You don't wear it anymore?" He asked.
"The ring? No, I- couldn't wear it without crying all the time"
"But you still have it, don't you?"
"Yes. It's in my drawer"
"It's good there" replied Sam with sheer disappointment and laughed ironically. Y/n drew her eyebrows together in disbelief.
"Did I do something wrong or offend you in that respect? Why are you so pissed off?"
He rolled his eyes in annoyance and sighed.
"Normal people would carry things with them that the deceased left behind to remember all those beautiful memories. But then there are those like you who prefer to throw it away in a bloody drawer and let human emotions switch off. Very kind of you Y/n"
Y/n was stunned and shook her head.
"Are you saying that I'm not normal, I'm dark and twisted? Is that so Drake?" She throws back.
"No. God damn it. I'm just telling you it hurts me that you never wanted to remember me"
They stopped and looked at each other sadly.
"It hurts you? Do you even know what hurt me in the last few years? You weren't there. You weren't with me when I needed you the most. And now. Now you are here. And I can't accurately assess my feelings because you confuse me Sam. Damn it, you confuse me!" she yelled at him. Tears ran furiously down her cheeks while he just stood in front of her and looked at her with sad eyes.
"You keep putting me in positions where I don't know how to deal with it. You bring me here even though I wanted to let all of it behind me. You make a crybaby of me. You are the reason I'm sensitive right now. It is you. You are the one I love so much that I don't care about the real me"
More and more tears streamed down her face. Her eyes and nose swelled up. Y/n panicked with each sentence and found it harder to breathe. Sam couldn't watch it. Without hesitation, he put his strong arms around her. Y/n howled against his chest and clutched her arms around his torso. She huffed and sobbed loudly.
They remained standing in this position when Y/n calmed down. Sam slowly pulled away from her. He put his hands around her ears and gently caressed the tears that were left behind.
"Feeling is something that makes you human Y/n. It doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you, you. Trust me"
They looked deep into each other's eyes. Sam approached her forehead and kissed it gently. They enjoyed the silence around them and listened to each other's breathing and heartbeat.
But hardly a minute passed and the echo of shots rang out and the birds flew frightened out of the trees.
"Do you think-"
"I knew my brother was going to start a shootout"
Sam sighed and they walked on.
