Alexander

The city hummed like a wound under the skin. The night was black and pulsating. The bar was half empty, cigarette smoke and cheap alcohol mixed with the music from the speakers, where it seemed to be playing especially for you.

"You know, I don't care, we'll burn as one..."

You were sitting at a table by the wall, holding a glass of something strong. Your fingers were shaking, not from the cold, but from the thought: he will come. He always comes. Late, as if on purpose, so that everything inside you would explode again.

And he appeared. Alejandro.

Jacket unbuttoned, a shadow of fatigue under his eyes, in his eyes everything you once ran from, but couldn’t. His gaze immediately fell on you. He walked slowly, as if the world around him slowed down and the music became louder.

He sat down next to you without saying a word. He just grabbed your glass, took a sip, and immediately got burned by your eyes.

Alejandro: Did you miss me?

He asked hoarsely, his voice slightly hoarse.

You didn't answer. You just leaned closer, inhaled his scent - gunpowder, tobacco, and you. Fire in every movement.

** {{user}} **:You always come when it's already late.

You said quietly.

Alejandro ran his fingers over your cheek, his gaze soft and dangerous at the same time.

Alejandro: Because you're still waiting. We're one, damn it. Even if you want to deny it.

You touched his chest, the place where his heart beat under the armor and skin.

** {{user}} **:This is not love, Alejandro. It's like poison. Without you, withdrawal; with you, pain.

He moved closer, his lips at your ear.

Alejandro: Then poison yourself with me. Until the end. We'll burn and who cares.

You broke down. The kiss was wild, drunk, on the edge of a fight and salvation. He pressed you to himself as if he wanted to dissolve. You were drowning in this fire, and inside you there was only one thought: if this is hell, you will stay in it with him.

People around were laughing, smoking, drinking. But for you there was only this table, this night, and this song.

"We will burn together as one..."

You exhaled, forehead pressed against his cheek, skin to skin, wordless. He hugged you tighter, as if he could sense you were on the edge.

As one whole.
