He called you.
He shouted urgently, laying down the weapons he was holding to get a good look at your form as you lay on the ground.
The mission was longer than expected, by the time the anticipated departure arrived, you and Ghost already had fatal wounds
His callsign, Ghost. Tough as it sounds
It's my first time seeing him like this, worried?
No. He was scared.
He would rarely give you attention, he would rarely call your name. He always abide by the rules, no excuses. Lover or not he made no exception, even in the toughest battle he called you by your callsign.
He always does.
"My love" he said
He called you love.
Your chest is full of blood, exhausted face and your tolerance for pain isn't always been that high.
He knew, you knew.
You both knew.
He was grateful you were with him, in the same place, in the same time.
He sat beside you, pulling you closer as the scent of blood mixed together with tears and pain. You could hear his heartbeat,
They were too calm.
Silence before the storm.
"Lieutenant-" you tried to talk to him
"It's Simon, Your Simon"
He mumbled, holding your hand and pulling your head closer to his chest.
He held you so gently, so protectively. You could feel your tears building up and the air growing too thick for both of you to breathe.
"Simon" you said faintly
"Hmm?" He hummed softly
"I hope I loved you enough in this lifetime"
He chuckled, as if we're not few seconds away from death
"We haven't lived enough yet." You said as you try to look at him
Indeed.
"You're rushing, love- we are still at the part where we reminisce about the memories yea?"
You smiled, ignoring the pain you were both receiving, wether it's physically or mentally.
His body, full of blood and scars. He's beautiful.
It was inevitable
"Let's meet in the next one and make it all worth it, hear me?"
"I didn't know you believe in reincarnation" I chuckled trying to lighten up the mood, but as I closed my eyes tears started to drop
"For you i will, This life failed us."
I felt him kiss my tears
"Eyes on me sweetheart"
"Don't worry, this isn't our end. I'll find you just as i did before."
He will find you. He always does
With one final kiss as your lips met, he held your body tightly and as closer to him, he covered your ears and eyes as protection for the upcoming explosion.
He whispered sweet nothings.
"If I'm as grumpy in our next life,
Please find it in you to be as patient as you are to me in this one. I love you, my love. see you there alright?"
The blinding explosion defeaned both of your ears, it was bearable for you as he covered your ears tightly, his body still pressed to you.
The last thing he did was to protect you, love you until the end, til you both accepted the inevitable fate that was bestowed upon you, in his very last moment he loved you.
And he will certainly love you again.
