[👰🏻‍♂️] @aguniiguess doesn’t ask me to marry him. For all the life and blood between us, he doesn’t have to. He brings me a cup of green tea, just like he always does, and takes his place across the kitchen table. It’s storming outside. Mori likes storms, and he watches this one rage over the sea outside of the home we made together. I watch him, and I drink my tea. The corner of his mouth twitches like he wants to say something, and I place what remains of my left hand on his forearm. While my injuries were mostly outward— leg amputated above the knee, hand crushed by concrete, a dazzling array of cuts and contusions— he suffered inwardly. Massive brain trauma resulting in a month-long coma, it’s a wonder he woke up at all. He has trouble speaking sometimes. But when he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velveteen box, I know exactly what he's trying to say. And I answer, "Yes."

[🍆💦] @hinataxsunshine comes to me just before dawn, eyes dripping bitter salt and hands flaking with half-dried blood. This is hardly the first time I've scrubbed the game from his fingertips, water running red then pink and then finally, blessedly clear. He kisses me. I kiss back. I lead him to bed and let him find comfort in my touch, slow and warm as the sun begins to break over the horizon. To be treated gently in a place like this—lovingly, sweetly—is rare. He needed this. Maybe I needed it, too.

[💋] @spadesking1 is a ruthless, brutal man. Joyless. He kills because he has to and grieves because he can't stop himself. That's something I understand intimately. I don't know why he lets me approach him, stepping over rubble and carnage as if it's nothing, but he does. Gun pointed directly at me, finger on the trigger, but he doesn't pull it. When I'm close enough to take his face between my hands, he can't look me in the eye. I tell him I forgive him. He asks what for. I kiss him. First on the cheek, the scent of gunpowder and smoke heavy in my nose. Then, the lips. I feel his mouth twitch against my own, but he doesn't turn away. He'll probably kill me in a minute, but what does it matter? Neither of us is going to survive, in the end.
