Work Text:
What are you supposed to do when your mind, heart, and body are screaming to be held by the one you desire the most. To hold the one you love. To make them stay after your bodies danced to the melody of midnight.
I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
It has always been in vain to whisper sweets “stay” and “please”. Words will never touch the heart of the Ice Queen. They pass by him like strangers instead of old nostalgic friends, touch his skin and leave as if he is still indifferent. Not his person.
That's how he prefers.
To let himself be the closest to perfect.
Perfection and pain in his feet being the only things that keep him sane.
Go 'head and wish me well
I'll cry a wishing well
I'll fly before I fail
I'll set sail and drift away
The touch hadn't work either. He lets himself cry when it doesn't. Not in other nights where he knew and expected that exact outcome.
So I won't need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
So tonight he gives himself the little and last hope. He grabs his hand and whispers his finale plead.
“Just tonight. Please”
He looks from where their hands connect to his eyes. As he sits down a soft “Ok. I’ve got you.” leaves his lips.
That is enough.
For now.
