You Die in Their Arms

Arthur-

Arthur knew that you were going to die, he had done everything that he could but it was all just pointless. Eventually he accepted what was happening and took you in his arms, your head resting on his shoulder, your weak breathing against his neck. His arms wrapped around you, his fingers running through your hair, and pressing kisses to the top of your head. He just couldn't bare the thought of you dying alone or feeling alone in your last moments. He made sure that he was there, showing you love until you were no longer there.

Dutch-

Dutch wanted to spend your last moment reminding you that he loved you and that everything was going to be okay. He tried to stay strong until you were gone, he wanted you to know that he would be strong even without you, but he didn't believe himself. You ran his fingers through your hair, he stroked your cheeks with his thumbs, whispering words of love until your eyes fell closed for good.

Micah-

Micah was never a hopeful person, he was always realistic but not in this moment. He refused to accept that you were dying, he just kept insisting that you would be okay. He did mutter the phrase "Don't you dare fucking die" which actually made you smile, it was just so Micah. He only accepted that you were dying when you reached up and placed your hand against his cheek. He just sighed before nodding and sitting with you, holding you against him. His head resting on top of yours. He felt like he was being punished for all the cruel things he had done in the past.

Charles-

Charles accepted what was about to happen, he accepted that you were dying but that didn't mean that he had to like it. He sat with you in his lap, holding your head against his chest, with his arms wrapped around you. He wanted to hold you but he also hoped that it would keep you warm. He promised you that he would be fine and that everyone else would be fine, he wanted you to know that you had nothing to worry about. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head when he felt you leave, continuing to hold you for a while.

Javier-

Javier collapsed to his knees beside your body, trying to stop the bleeding while assuring you that everything would be okay. You reached up and rested your hand against his cheek, trying to get his attention properly. Eventually he looked down at you, speechless. You didn't have to say anything, he already knew what you were trying to tell him. It was over. He sighed in defeat as he held your head in his head, resting his forehead against yours. You both just whispered soft words of love until your eyes closed for good. Once he was certain that you were gone, he placed a lingering kiss on your forehead before still sitting with you.

Sean-

Sean was frantic, he sat beside you as he tried to stop the bleeding and begged you to hang on and to stay with him. He reminded you how much he loved you, how much you meant to him, and how much he needed you and would always need you. He never gave up trying to save you, he never really accepted that this was the end, but he did try to get that last moment with you. He held your face in his hands, is forehead pressed against yours, his tears falling onto your cheeks.

Hosea-

Hosea cradled your head in one hand while he used his other hand to slow the bleeding, even though he knew that it was pointless, it wouldn't help you. He pressed a lingering kiss to your forehead, not wanting to beg you to hang on even though he would want nothing more, he didn't want to make you feel guilty for something that was not your fault. You were the second love of his life that he had lost, but it was just as painful. He loved you and now you were gone.

Kieran-

Kieran scrambled to your side, muttering a string of "no, no, no, no, no" as he tried to stop the bleeding. Using the last of your strength, you cupped his face in your hands and made him look at you. He nodded sadly, letting you know that he had accepted that this was happening, that he was losing you. He whispered a gentle 'I love you', which you returned with a soft smile. He could only wonder how the world could be so cruel.

John-

John was a wreck as he held you in his arms, swearing to kill whoever did this to you and begging you to hold on. You wrapped your hand around one of his, you lifted it up and pressed a kiss to his knuckles before laying them on your stomach. John shook his head, refusing to accept it, but held your hand in his and gave it a small squeeze to tell you that it was okay. He held you against his chest as he felt you slip away, burying his face in the crook of your neck, holding you one last time.

Bill-

Bill could feel the tears brimming in his eyes as he frantically and hopelessly tried to slow the bleeding. His heart broke when you placed your hands on his, getting him to stop and just look at you. He would never forget the faint smile on your face as you looked up at him. He held you against his chest, tears silently rolling down his cheeks. He buried his face in your hair and closed his eyes as he waited for the inevitable. He couldn't even look at his own hands because they were covered in your blood.

Lenny-

Lenny lay your head in his lap, combing his fingers through your hair and keeping it out of your face. His eyes were brimming with tears but he tried to contain them until it was over. He was smiling gently but sadly at you, his free hand holding yours and resting them on your stomach. He wanted you to be comfortable and to be able to go peacefully. You both shared one last 'I love you', before you drifted away. He brushed his thumb over your cheek, letting the tears fall.

Strauss-

Strauss knew that you were too good to be true, he loved you more than anything and now he was losing you. He wanted to reassure you and tell you everything would be alright as he cradled your head in his lap, holding your hand to his lips, but he just couldn't find the words. His heart broke when you told him that everything would be okay, when you assured him that he would be just fine without you. He didn't believe you but it was a nice sentiment. He pressed soft kisses to the back of your hand as you passed away.
